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)
