In case you were wondering what all the cryptic ‘get Marcus’ stuff was about, here’s the explanation. Marcus said The Smiths were rubbish. Now I happen to love the Smiths and told him so, wondering if Marcus had lost his musical taste in the land that loves Hasslehof.

Smiths_8

Marcus got all shirty, claiming that Boney M are:

1. German (correct)

2. Good, ergo being in Germany cannot affect musical taste, and better than the Smiths anyway (dead wrong).

To settle the argument, we turn to you, the discerning blog reader to decide through voting.

There will be three rounds.

Here’s the schedule:

  • Round 1: Best Album artwork: (Sunday 9th – Thursday 13th)
  • Round 2: Best Music: (Sunday 16th – Thursday 20th)
  • Round 3: Culture influence beyond the band: (Sunday 23rd – Thursday 27th)

The loser has to Ipod sing the winning band’s music online. It was flying to other’s home city to buy them a beer, but Marcus let me off since I have no holiday time and no money. Also he knows that the shame of singing Boney M is enough.

But it won’t come to that of course, because common sense will prevail.

And Marcus, or Kaiser or whatever you wish to call yourself, you may be cleverer and more likable than me, but in the end you have no chance. The darkness from the North is ready.

Here’s his lame launch if you can be bothered.

    We will see more of this pathetic name calling, since there is no sensible argument he can turn to.
    It’s sad to see a once great man resort to the tactics of the playground.
    He’ll lose the votes, I just hope he retains a modicum of respect

    Thinking long and hard. Handsome Devil is a strong candidate.

    There’s dark rumours going round that Boney M are going to win the votes just to hear you sing Boney M.

    Not name calling NP, just an observation. You’re going to have to try a little harder that this to win the three battles ahead.
    And I would like to point out that The Smiths’ camp is way more aggressive.
    And I was never great.

    Strange way to structure a contest – losing the first week right off. Boney M will trump four posers with leather vests and dirty jeans.
