It looks like a good university, New York must be an amazing place to study....again this is probebly based on my 'cool-interlectual-artschool' image of how New York is

SynthethicalY · 03.29.2007, 03:54 PM

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. I am thinking of going there.

I had an idealised image of university which, mysteriously, seemed to be set in the 1980s: serious boys and girls with glasses, sat around discussing Morrissey's lyrics and Betty Blue, and Proust. A bunch of pseudo intellectual tossers, basically, but pseudo intellectuals are better than bellowing imbeciles.

However, Leeds (the city) is great, and full of great people. And lots of decent bands play there.

Haha I know I wish...

I feel like there is something explictly wrong when I have to describe the genius of The Smiths to people...

Toilet & Bowels · 03.29.2007, 08:28 PM

yeah, because the smiths were mediocre at best

The Smiths were a mediocre band? I'm as "cooler-than-thou" as the next kid but I certainly see the merits of their sound, from the unconventional, sardonic lyrics to the infectious melodies...

I think they were genuinely a force to be reckoned with.

Toilet & Bowels · 03.30.2007, 07:48 AM

they were too limp wristed to muster any kind of force (aside from when morrisey mustered a force of nazis by singing racist songs)

Come on I don't think he was ever racist. He just never felt the need to explain anything he did. If someone thought he was rasist he didnt give a damn. He didn't see it as his place to correct what other people thought of him. I think he probebly liked people thinking he was racist when actually he wasn't, like it was all one big joke that funny just to him (the best kind of jokes really). Lyrically I love the way he uses expressions you never hear in songs ('lets face soon I will be dead' - who says things like 'lets face it' in songs?), and how the words never quite fit the metre. Aside from Morrissey, Johnny Marr's playing is so beautiful. If you hate Morrissey you can at least appreciate Marr.

"Burn down the disco, Hang the blessed DJ, because the music they constantly play, it says nothing to me about my life"

Always loved that lyric - kinda sums up my feeling whenever go to clubs or discos.

Ius means law in latin; iuris is the genitive.
