Crosstawk

It's time for another request episode here on DMP, and this one comes from a listener who thought we should play The Smiths. What a great idea! Jonny and co-host Andy Goergen discover this legendary British band together, as we're both slightly too young and far too American to have latched on the first time around. Lead singer Morrissey has one of those love-it-or-hate-it voices, but there's no denying his talent and dramatic delivery of these sad songs. While the subject matter is often angsty, you'll be carried right along by the upbeat rhythm section and Johnny Marr's fast, flashy guitar licks. Here's the playlist: 1. Big Mouth Strikes Again (The Queen is Dead) 2. Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before (Strangeways, Here We Come) 3. Cemetry Gates (The Queen is Dead) 4. Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now (Single) 5. This Charming Man (The Smiths) 6. How Soon is Now (Meat is Murder) 7. The Boy With the Thorn in His Side (The Queen is Dead) 8. There is a Light That Never Goes Out (The Queen is Dead) 9
