Please: Fiction Inspired by The Smiths

Almost entirely shit. Ask, Shoplifters Of the World Unite, and Cemetry Gates are the stand-outs. Everything else is mediocre to terrible. Most notably, Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others by Jenn Ashworth which is inexcusable. Imaging hating fat people so much that you 1) purposely choose this song just so you can write about how much you hate them and 2) live out your fantasy of setting a fat woman on fire while she sleeps.

On the plus side, I've now found an artist more intolerable than Morrissey himself.
