... Charming Man is very simple and just has the group performing in a pretty flower strewn studio - Morrissey swinging gladioli around like a lasso. It's a great song and a nice film. This wasn't the first Smiths single but it was right at the start of their career and helped put them on the map with its catchy guitar riffs and distinctive Morrissey lyrics which are ambiguous and seeped in 1960s kitchen sink New Wave. "Punctured bicycle, on a hillside desolate, will nature make a man of me yet?" Derek Jarman's spec...more

The Smiths: The Complete Picture is a shortish (50 minutes or so) 2002 DVD collection of 1980s appearances by the short lived but iconic group on Top of the Pops with a smattering of music videos (mostly some very strange and willfully obscure Derek Jarman directed films). It's far from the "complete picture" of course and Smiths fans are rather sniffy about this DVD for its randomness and cobbled together feel but I've always found it quite good fun and interesting anyway.

I had, and more than that I was a bit irked at Morrissey, the lead singer of the Smiths, being described thus. This ... Read the complete review
