Found in: Music, NewsThe 10 Best Smiths Songs
Morrissey’s new album, Years Of Refusal, comes out today. And as much as we love the Mozzer’s best solo moments, nothing compares to the work he did with the Smiths, the immortal mope-rock band whose songs epitomized lyrical literacy and musical jangle. They were such an astounding band that they turned even Noel Gallagher into a fanboy. Here, in my strongly biased opinion, are their 10 best tunes: ... read more

The Decemberists offered up "The Rake's Song," a track from their upcoming Hazards of Love LP, as a free download last week, which means that lots of people were probably struck with the same two thoughts that hit me upon my own first listen.

The tradition of the Coachella Festival in Indio, Calif. reuniting bands is now legendary. As the story goes, the festival organizers were having a hard time getting a headlining band in 2001, so they found a friend to convince Jane's Addiction to get back together and play. Since then, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Iggy Pop and the Stooges, Pixies, Bauhaus, Gang of Four, Rage Against the Machine, The Jesus and Mary Chain and My Bloody Valentine have all rejoined for the festival.... read more

Recently in the Paste office, we received a press release about an Oct. 6 event called Gimme Shelter, which will feature Debbie Harry, Moby and Earl Greyhound, and which was described as a “concert benefiting NYC’s at-risk animals.” Being dog-owners ourselves, we were moved by the whole idea—moved, that is, to commemorate Gimme Shelter with a list of other significant collaborations between musicians and animals.

It seems like all of Johnny Marr’s doubt regarding the new Smiths DVD has dissipated. As previously reported, Marr had been expressing concern with the project due to the way the record company had been handling the band’s music sales and distribution. But faithful '80s Brit-pop fans need not fear: the DVD is a go. Set for release on Jan. 22, Inside The Smiths will feature bandmates Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce recanting the historical milestones of The Smiths, along with commentary regarding their partnership with Marr and Morrissey. The DVD will also feature remarks and observations from Peter Hook,... read more
Found in: Music, NewsHeaven knows about a Smiths box set
Johnny Marr’s got a barb in his side about the Smiths record label. In an interview with Brit publication The Word, the guitarist says the label is releasing shoddy versions of Smiths albums treating their music like, well, excrement. But he’s slowly shedding doubt about releasing DVDs, saying, "I was approached by the record company a few years ago with the box set idea, and I was somewhat skeptical until I was sent some live concerts and monitor mixes…Then it started to sound like a really good prospect.” The Tripwire also reports since Marr now has Modest Mouse on his... read more
