Dear Mr. DeCurtis:

I can' t tell you how excited I was to discover that you had written the retrospective essay in the new 10,000 Maniacs collection, "Campfire Songs." I am a fan of your writing and look forward to seeing your reports on television as well. However, you should know that you made an egregious error in your "Campfire" essay when you referred to "Everyday Is Like Sunday" as a Smiths song. It most certainly is not Smiths song. The song appears on Morrissey's "Viva Hate," which I am sure you are familiar with. I hope that you will alert Rhino to this blunder and have them correct the mistake in future pressings.

Regards,
Gina Acosta

Dear Gina: Thanks for your kind words. I have dutifully informed Rhino about the misatrribution. I appreciate your pointing it out. All best, Anthony

Did you know 10,000 Maniacs have released a best of retro called "Campfire Songs, The Popular, Obscure and Unknown Recording (Remastered) and it includes Natalie Merchant's cover of Morrissey's Everyday is like Sunday? Amazon link.

Anyhow, this CD was released in January 27 in the US and will released on February 9 in the UK.

  • I remember 10,000 Maniacs version of "Everyday is Like Sunday" being on a CD4 for their 1993 single "Few and Far Between." I was working at Musicland at the time and happened upon a copy. I excitedly purchased the CD when I saw "Everyday ..." was on it. Interestingly, a week or so ago, while bowling, the 10,000 Maniacs version of "Everyday ..." came over the bowling alley soundsystem. What a surprise that was!!

  • It's an expectable error to originate from people with only casual familiarity with Morrissey's solo work. Still...Mr. DeCurtis shoulda' had better fact-checking done before submitting it.
