Welcome back everyone to day three in what I hope will be a week of constant updates just like oral sex and the weather channel. So I was driving around downtown this afternoon during my lunch break listening to NPR (I am an NPR junkie) and Terrie Gross on "Fresh Aire" was interviewing Joe Pernice about his new book "Meat is Murder". This book is part of a new series of books call the Thirty Three and a Third series. These books are semi autobiographical novels by musicians about how a great album affects the life of the protagonist. This has got to be the most brilliant idea I have ever heard of! To quote my favorite movie: "Call me shallow, Movies, Music, Books, these things matter". I am going to run to the book store right after work and pick the first one up. I Urge you all to do the same.
This, once again, segues into my next order of business, the band of the day. I thought that in honor of the great idea and book listed above, today's Band of the Day is The Smiths. Before Radiohead was crooning out songs about teen angst, alienation, depression, and self-loathing another band from across the pond has perfected it. Led by a self proclaimed gay celibate man (I wonder if he was Episcopalian?), The Smiths wrapped up an entire generation. Although I may be a little young to have seen it first hand, I think that if my parents had been a little cooler I would have been jamming to "Meat is Murder" with my little purple Mohawk on the way home from kindergarten....
