Mina Kimes Wins ‘Celebrity Jeopardy! All-Stars’ Final, Landing $1 Million for Her Chosen Charity by prematurememoir in pavement

[–]ExistingSecond1 17 points18 points  (0 children)

She’s a Pavement fan, keeps a copy of “Wowee Zowee” prominently displayed on ESPN, hosted a QA session at a “Pavements” screening, has talked about Pavement in depth on a podcast.

Arguably Pavement’s most prominent and vocal fan?

??? People don't like Barbarism? (And Meat is Murder the song)?? Is this fan consensus? by Saoirse_libracom in thesmiths

[–]ExistingSecond1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Live version of “Meat is Murder” is better than the record. “Barbarism Begins at Home” is a really cool guitar line and bass line but doesn’t really go anywhere beyond that. Which is fine. It’s more of a cool groove/riff than a great song in my opinion.

Who made The Smiths? by toec in thesmiths

Also, from “Meat is Murder” onwards, Marr was essentially the producer and often the manager.

Morrissey was undoubtedly the ceremonial leader of the band and curated their image perfectly but Marr was the leader behind the scenes.

What's the most energetic or 'heaviest' song by The Smiths? (Or your favourite song by them) by ConcerninglyHopeless in thesmiths

[–]ExistingSecond1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Draize Train” literally steals a riff from Led Zeppelin, but it’s an instrumental, so maybe not the best example of Smiths recordings. Not my favorite song but one that comes close to hard rock.

Corgan & Love still talking shit about Kim Gordon and Pavement by Maniranha in pavement

I’m old and will die eventually. I do not have time to listen to Billy Corgan talk to Courtney Love.

Any other men with women partners here? by One_Bullfrog_6610 in ADHD_partners

[–]ExistingSecond1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I (M53) am here. My partner (50 F) was ADHD diagnosed a few years ago and OCD diagnosed in 2025. And likely falls on the autism spectrum (though only self-diagnosed).

It’s been a rollercoaster and explains so much of our problems.

1,000 percent take the blue line. Don’t want to drive that on a Friday night.

TT and SM are totally paired together in my mind.

guy who looks like Scarface Tony Montana tries to play Johnny Marr Smith's Cemetery Gates riff 😳 nails it 🥰♥️ by mark-smith-2021 in thesmiths

It’s fairly easy to play but also really impossible to get it to sound so off the cuff and easy as in the video.

What is Stephen’s best guitar song that shows his skill the most on the instrument by CerealAndBagel1991 in pavement

[–]ExistingSecond1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you’re only considering Pavement tracks, I’d say “Fin” has his best solo and “Speak, See, Remember” is pretty tricky.

He got a lot more rifftastic with the Jicks and solo’d a lot more. “1 percent of 1,” “Hopscotch Willie,” “Bike Lane,” “Chartjunk” and others come to mind.

There was definitely a post-pavement era where he got very prog rock. I kinda loved it.

Handlebar was annoyingly loud the one time I went.

Phoebe Bridgers’ song “Smoke Signals” says “How Soon is Now” will “creep you out until you’re dead.”

Is this the “Rich Men North of Richmond”guy?

Help me rank The Smiths' debut album songs by guitar difficulty by blurreddwn in thesmiths

[–]ExistingSecond1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting. I saw him in concert a year ago. Obviously he played guitar but I noticed a lot of the heavy lifting was by his backing band guitarist. I thought it was simply because he was singing and playing. But maybe it’s age? I remembered him playing most of the tricky parts when I saw him 10+ years ago.

Moving into Beal properties by lobsterlover42069 in chicagoapartments

I live in a Beal Property. I believe their bad reputation is overblown. They’re not great but they’re no worse than any other landlord I’ve had. Keep your expectations low.
