Glam-Racket

The band's, uh, 1993 lineup, aside from Smith, was Craig Scanlon on guitar, uh, Steve Hanley on bass and v- backing vocals, Simon Wolstencroft, uh, drums and programs, and I don't know if you recognize that name, but he played with The Smiths early on and Stone Roses, and then, uh, Dave Bush on keyboards and programming and backing vocals.

Um, I'm gonna skip past the horrible Sister Sledge cover, and we're gonna hear a little bit of, uh, the opening of the third track, Glam Racket.

So in May of '93, reviewer Mark Jenkins of the Washington Post summed up The Infotainment Scan well by saying, quote, "The album continues the swaggeringly uncompromising, hopelessly unmarkable mix of Craig Scanlon's scratchy guitar, bassist Steven Hanley's and drummer Simon Wolstencroft's looping thump, and Smith's caustic and cryptic cut up and spit out poetry." End quote.

On that note, Nash, let's hear some more of Glam Racket.

Pop the bathroom and then put your hand in your pocket.

Glam rock.

But apparently that is, or Manc, is what they call the accent, uh, the dialect from Manchester area, and apparently Smith has a very Manc accent and delivery.
