I was listening recently to a NO playlist I put together, and what struck me was that while Ian was miles away the better lyricist (nothing Bernard Sumner has ever written comes close to the lyrics of "Ceremony"), I have a much stronger emotional connection to Sumner.

Though, almost certainly, quite a lot of Ceremony is Sumner's lyrics, or at least his adaptation of what he could make out from the recordings that existed.

"Then again, who is close to Morris?"
there is/was a bay area based JD cover band called Dead Souls and their last drummer killed it. she's now the drummer in my band, I'm happy to say.

i. it has terrific rhythmic poise, and.ii. is pitch-perfect in its invocation of mockable faux innocence, as a mask for actual genuinely (silly but knowingly silly) beliefi like mark s, but like a lot of his posts his reading is--how you say in UK?--too clever by half.
