From Cathy:

Found this in an interview that PureFiction did with Douglas Coupland. I think it was done in June/July of 98.

Q: Finally, what are your five all time greatest Smiths songs?
DC: That's a toughie. How about a Smiths/Morrissey combo: The Queen is Dead, Alsatian Cousin, Golden Lights, Suedehead and Bigmouth Strikes Again.

Golden lights? That's rediculous.

it is ridiculous, and so is alsatian cousin, coupland is a pretentious ass; he doesn't really say anything and offers nothing apart from soundbites - generation x etc, like the moz said "it says nothing to me about my life"!

I'm sorry? Golden Lights is bizarre, but what is so awful about Alsatian Cousin? It's one of the No.1 reasons to buy Viva Hate. And just ,cause Coupland says nothing to you, it dosen't mean he's meaningless to everyone else.

alsatian cousin is good but i wouldn't put it on an all time list, i've always thought it was a bit sub-queen is dead, from viva hate i'd say ..sunday, suedehead, maudlin street, angel.. and maybe even little man, what now? were better.
