Episode 52: The Smiths

This week, Mike and Alex are back in studio together after countless awful Skype episodes, and what better band to discuss than the insanely popular Smiths? This band needs no introduction, but we did our best to dissect their relatively short discography and talk about as much juicy Morrissey gossip as we could. Why the hell is he so popular in East LA? We try to get to the bottom of it. Also, The Smiths are a very good band, although one we probably don't love nearly as much as every other person in the world. Closing track: "Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me" from Strangeways, Here We Come (1987) Check out our episode playlists on Spotify! https://open.spotify.com/user/motherpuncherinc Mike's Picks: Strangeways, Here We Come (1987) — Best Album, Personal Favorite Meat is Murder (1985) — Worst Album Alex's Picks: Meat is Murder (1985) — Best Album The Smiths (1984) — Personal Favorite Strangeways, Here We Come (1987) — Worst Album The Queen is Dead (1986) — Least Favorite Albums we discussed this episode… The Smiths (1984) Hatful of Hollow (1984) Meat is Murder (1985) The Queen is Dead (1986) Strangeways, Here We Come (1987) Follow Mike on Instagram @popejesseventura for show updates and @pandermonkey for original music Follow Alex on Instagram @motherpuncher
