The Smiths - Pretty Girls Make Graves. What an uplifting piece

In his autobiography, Morrissey agrees with me that "The Smiths" was a very crappily produced album, with all the zing and attack taken out of the sound; that's mainly why they wanted "Hatful Of Hollow" released, because John Porter hadn't ruined all the tracks.

Billy Bragg - Levi Stubbs' Tears

(why is it Levi Stubbs' Tears but Bridget Jones's Diary?)

Because the former is wrong, in my opinion!

Oxford style is to write the S if you would pronounce it with the S, so both are "correct" if you regard Oxford as the arbiter. I would normally add the S in both cases. However, it would sound ugly and ruin a beautiful song if Billy Bragg sang "Stubbses", so I'm happy for him to go against the citoyen style guide on this one. Especially as it really is a sublime song.

We've got the new Toy album on the office stereo today. Right up my alley. Like a mash-up of Stereolab, Spacemen 3 and New Order. In a good way.

Enigma , "The screen behind the mirror" , it samples "Carmina Burana" a lot, so that may be on next!

And Placebo's album. Loud Like Love. I love it.

Had a really good conversation with the guy in the record shop about Brian Molko.

Sara Cox's 80s show on R2. I did not enjoy the 12" of Sussudio (who would?) but I am very much enjoying Zoom by Fat Larry's Band.

Zoom - that's such a nice song.

Just seen your reply, citoyen. I haven't actually heard the song (though I did see BB do a good solo version of Tracks Of My Tears at a sound-check, once!). However, I don't think for me that singing "Stubbs's tears" would detract from any sublimity that might be involved. If I came to the recording without a knowledge of Tamla, I'd just think the bloke was called Stubb and think no more about it. Anyway, OT, how are we going to cope without Araucaria's Christmas double - or do you think he left one for us as a farewell gift?
