Hi! This is my first thread. Well, when I was fifteen years old, I was looking for new music and I discovered an under dark page, propiety of some guys that were into indie- new wave genre, I remember that I just close my eyes and choose with my finger in the list. The next is history. Also, an important thing was that The Ghost of Canterville is my favorite book since the school (I was 7). Later i discover that Morrissey liked Oscar Wilde, that was a super extra.
what about you?
Maybe, I study literature. Shy, hopeless romantic, unique.Were you clumsy and shy as well?
Cliché as it might sound, it was in a goth club, standing on my own, watching the crowd of people when How Soon Is Now? started to play.
(No, really.)
My older sister was/is a screwed-up psycho who one summer decided she would only like non-threatening boys {ie ~ gay} ~ cue "Another Country" poster on bedroom wall, Brideshead teddy bears, Pet Shop Boys, Bronski Beat, James Dean {gay and dead ~ jackpot!} Etc.
As part of this campaign she bought one LP by The Smiths ~ "The World Won't Listen". í, however, did; on the other side of her daily ritually slammed shut bedroom door. Couldn't even hear the words. Just the endless golden blend of music & voice, reminding me of cold summer daze of childhood holidays in Lancashire. One afternoon í borrowed that LP and dubbed off a C-90 tape cassette...
And the rest is hysteria.

If only my life was a Hughes film. I'd have ended up with some darker, edgier Molly Ringwald at the end of the night, but unfortunately that only ever happened in my dreams...How very John Hughes of you...

That sounds like my sister. She still has epic tantrums. Mainly about boyfriends, her appearance & her lack of fame. Which I am somehow responsible for.
She once said to me she didn't understand the point of a conversation that wasn't about her. OUT LOUD. Like it's a normal thing to say.
First Smiths-Morrissey listen to was on 91X College Music Show on Saturday or Sunday afternoons, I think...it was a while ago..1983 ? Anyways, the hosts liked the lead singer, that's you Morrissey ! Listen to these guys, The Smiths, their going to be something great. Personally though, it was the guitar work that had never been heard the likes of before. Joy Division was unique and Simple Minds had some great songs and videos...And Spandau Ballets "True", is wonderful....but The Smiths..."No one can hold a candle to You." J.M.
