Hello you rock and rollers! This episode is all about how The Smiths maybe, possibly (but I say YES) transformed Glastonbury from the hippie festival it was known as into the juggernaut we know it as today, even talking about the recent appearance at the festival by one Mr. Astley backed by Blossoms. In order to tackle this huge subject, we've invited renowned Rick Astley super-fan

Am I personally biased to loving this record? Yes. Hence why my guest for this episode is... well, me. This was the album that got me into the Smiths and I have an EP that just came out ("John Hughes Thoughts"), so I figured I'd run my mouth a little bit on here. Unfortunately, this episode has some issues with audio problems that persisted form last episode, so I apologize greatly

We bring Caleb back onto the show to introduce him to the next batch of singles and their respective b-sides. I also apologize for some of the audio issues with this one; it was my finals week, so I guess my computer didn't have all the processing power needed.Socials: @SmithscyclopediaEmail: [email protected] us a five star review!

The Smiths first LP. Is it over-rated, under-rated, or perfectly in the middle? Frankly, Mr. Shankly, we can't decide either, so we brought some help.vvWe welcome Austin Curtis (@bloodyawfulpoetry) of the band Don't Get Lemon onto the show for our longest episode yet, the perfect setting for our first foray into a full Smiths album.Music video for Don't Get Lemon's "Blow-Up": https

It's time we tackled the "mystery wrapped in an enigma, wrapped in a cardigan," even Morrissey. He put the M in Manchester, but how did he get there? For this daunting task, we enlist the help of Alyssa Robertson (@alyssamiarobertson) of the band Bittersweethearts to feed us the facts, quips, and myths about our main subject today. You can also find her band here: https://bitterswe

We've reached double digits! As we progress in our journey through the Smiths career, we need to pay mention to one of the most influential figures in the progress of their journey, BBC 1's John Peel. For this episode, we have returning guest Ethan Seegmiller (@erseegmiller) on for an episode nearly three times as long as I'd told him he'd be on... Whoops...John Peel Sessions: http
