Indiepop Chronicles #53 40 years ago 1/3/86 Sounds The "Magnificent" Therese by The Bodines reviewed "Half breathless, half bewildered vocals chase after an urgently recurring guitar pattern and a long lost sense of something or other" @mamtoruk.bsky.social what did you make of that?

One of my favourite things I've done is create a 44-page fanzine about nothing but Heavenly @heavenlyamelia.bsky.social @skepwax.bsky.social - full of interviews, fact files, problem pages, recipes and all sorts of silliness from the band, including Mathew. Fortunately, the band love it, too - phew!

This is the setlist I swiped the night before at Dundee University.

🔊THE SMITHS - ON THIS DAY🔊 3rd of a 4 run of gigs in Scotland. Promoting 1st album. Support on all 4, Red Guitars @loudhailer.bsky.social @smiths-history.bsky.social @davidc86.bsky.social @dtate0007.bsky.social @shirleystrange.bsky.social @gerrard44.bsky.social @mmr3cords.bsky.social
