smother me mother

Inspired by the 'favourite songs' post I wrote for clever titles last week I thought I'd write about 'Rubber Ring'.

You can put people into two simple camps - those who liked The Smiths when they were in their teens ... and those who didn't. I'm in the former category and consequently I think that a song that prophecies it's own downfall into the realm of nostalgia is a work of genius! It also has a great bass line and some tremendous samples at the end. All in all it's something that will be lodged in my fakePod forever and will remind me that I was younger before I heard it.

I just wish I could remember when I first heard it!

the smiths - rubber ring

If you haven't got it you really should buy the world won't listen

.. and in a related post from last December Matt from Earm Farm has some great live smiths tracks here.
