And by the way, Hello Indie, Courteeners are FAR better than Doll and the Kicks, by a landslide. You have horrible taste in music, but that's why I like you.

Here's an original review of the Danceteria gig (swiped from The Smiths File Online):
"One might think that singer Morrissey belongs more in a synth-pop band, but that notion is laid to rest once they play live.
Backed by a solid, driving pop sound with ringing guitars, Morrissey's voice soars and carries the music like a glistening rainbow. His stage presence and remarkable vocal range makes one tend to forget the more restaintive style on vinyl. They definitely project a much looser feel, as I thought they might. "Charming Man", "Difference" and "Hand in Glove" were all performed more aggressively while still retaining enough polish to define the signature sound of the Smiths.
It will be interesting to see if Morrissey's lyrical potential and vocal style will develop even further.
The Danceteria show, I thought, was a promising start for these British new-comers."

I know a guy who went. He was a tough NYC punk, and he and his snotty little friends went to pick on Morrissey (they thought it was hilarious that he was celebate). They wanted to show The Smiths how rough a real New York crowd could be. Of course they were all blown away, and Morrissey won them over without any trouble at all.
Madonna did work at Danceteria - she could very well have opened for them.
Off to celebrate - Happy New Year, everyone.

still played on vinyl, and chairs, and a full

sore bones
