The Smiths II

Artist Song
The Smiths  Barbarism begins at home 
  Shoplifters of the world unite 
  Shakespear's sister 
  Paint a vulgar picture 
  Bigmouth strikes again 
  Accept yourself 
  This charming man 
  Meat is murder 
  The queen is dead 
  Rubber ring 
  Sheila take a bow 
  Hand in glove 
  This night has opened my eyes 
  I started something i couldn't finish 
  Death of a disco dancer 
  The headmaster ritual 
  The boy with the thorn in his side 
  Sweet and tender hooligan 
  I know i'ts over (Interview with Morrissey) 
  Miserable lie 

Comment:

Another smiths mix for the same person, i was nearly asking to make it, since she's such a lovely person, and she seemed to enjoy The Smiths
(se my other smiths mix).
This mix is a little more ambitious. Starting off with 'Barbarism' as an not to usual and maybe not such good opener, but she's a bass-player so i thought...and closing with first and interview bit where moz says that he doesn't know if the smiths have split up, and that there comes a time when you (in a band) just must "try something different, with somebody different" and into miserable lie, where morrissey realises what's happened.

I like the idea to put that interview excerpt at the end. Ace.

All great songs obviously, but I have to compliment you on your fine cover! Great use of negative space for the song listings and a nice font. Looks like an official Rough Trade release!

I actually think that starting off with "Barbarism..." ain't a bad idea at all - yes, it's long, but it does pack a punch...and it's absolutely perfect for a bass player. I like the momentum of the first half especially and the idea of the interview at the end is great - and Miserable Lie at the end? Goodness, never thought of that. But it works!
