This is outside my focus here, but wow. The story is that The Smiths were offered $5mil to reunite for Cochella—and turned it down. “[B]ecause money doesn’t come into it,” Moz said.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for not ruining another cherished band from my childhood with some cynical money play to cash in on my nostalgia for the days when I didn’t pay taxes. Thank you for not being the Pixies. Thank you knowing when something is over. Thank you for not being Depeche Mode, the Cure, or U2. Thank you for leaving the hairdresser on fire where he belongs.

All i’m left with a giant wow.

Ok, enough with these cheap little off-topic posts. I promise to get back on track with something more meaty–right after I listen to Meat if Murder.
