Christopher GreyHOST
Yeah, I heard Morrissey in there for sure.
Christopher GreyHOST
The Queen is Dead is already in my Forever collection for sure.
Christopher GreyHOST
They have a song called Cemetery Gates that is on my Bounce Morning dance mix and has been in my head for the last couple weeks.
Christopher GreyHOST
I've been singing it constantly.
SimonHOST
It's just six months.
SimonHOST
The Queen is Dead tour was probably six months too early for me.
SimonHOST
Like I said, there's always been an admin problem with me.
SimonHOST
And how do we organise that? And I don't think there was anyone else who particularly wanted to go.
SimonHOST
If I had my friends now, then somebody, probably Richard Hand, would have gone, oh, I'll sort it out and then you pay me back, you know, and we would have gone.
SimonHOST
He did see the Smiths on the Queen is Dead tour.
SimonHOST
Anyway, Morrissey at the Reading Hexagon.
SimonHOST
Now, this must have been, and again, you and I have seen Morrissey.
Will DunnHOST
But it is the place where he is doing his kind of Norma Landy act most intensely.
Will DunnHOST
You know, it's where he's doing... trying out some pub snacks or there's a lot of, you know, normal Andy having a pint or saying which album he likes best between The Queen is Dead and The Stone Roses or whatever.
Will DunnHOST
And so there's a lot of that, but he's still, I think, doing a fairly normal politician job of being on TikTok.
Will DunnHOST
And Ed Davey, you see being a Davey on TikTok, you know, Zach Polanski is fairly sort of earnest and, you know, a bit sort of fairly kind of preachy, I would say.
RoryHOST
But I do see a mid-1980s teenager here.
RoryHOST
You know, all that very 1980s sullen scowl and Walkman on with "The Queen Is Dead" constantly playing until subfuzz takes over the tape, and it skips in a middle of "Cemetery Gates." Uh, that's the kind of person I think we're talking about here, who any money he isn't spending on C90s to copy, to copy his mate's vinyl of "The Queen Is Dead," is spending them on books and let's say other reading material.
RoryHOST
Knows that at some point, they're gonna have to go back on the top shelf, and you're gonna need to pull your socks up.
RoryHOST
Fight the sorrow like there's no tomorrow, that's the thing, as we get a lovely chime of the guitar on the chorus here as well.
JordanHOST
So I thought maybe I was biased because of that.
JordanHOST
But after, you know, we started this project, we listened to The Queen is Dead and Meat is Murder, and those are kinda two of their really highly regarded albums, and I think that Strangeways, Here We Come blows them out of the water.
JordanHOST
For me, it's still my favorite, so I don't think it was just a familiarity.
JordanHOST
I think it actually is a better album.
PaulHOST
Uh, you said it's not the last one, so Queen is Dead?
JoshHOST

JoshHOST

JoshHOST
Where, where are you at on, on The Queen is Dead?
PaulHOST
I like it.
Marlon JamesGUEST
I was that person.
Marlon JamesGUEST
The Queen is Dead both sort of comforted me and exposed me.
Marlon JamesGUEST
So I couldn't, I loved it in my bedroom.
Marlon JamesGUEST
There's no way I'd let somebody know I'm listening to The Queen is Dead.
Marlon JamesGUEST
Because then they go, oh, so you're gay.
Marlon JamesGUEST
It's a weird contrast that it really, really exposed the world to us, but gave us a reason to lock ourselves off in our bedrooms.

And over at the Corn Exchange in Dorchester, it's Blackwater County, pop, punk and folk from eight.

JenGUEST

Alex ArsenaultHOST
Alright, we started with your album, so let's go ahead and start with that.
Alex ArsenaultHOST
Lead us into that album.
23 MINS LATER
Alex ArsenaultHOST
Yeah.
JenGUEST
um and um vocally ariana grounded states away from her signature high octane belts and whistle notes to embrace a softer wispier pop delivery and intricate vocal stacking so she does a lot of vocal stacking um and so it's different she does a lot of vocal stacking looping and lower registers
Alex ArsenaultHOST
yeah and then we were moving on To the 1986 Morrisian Mark classic, The Queen is Dead by The Smiths.
Alex ArsenaultHOST
So, we moved on to that one.
