Super Karate Monkey Fist Guest DJ Week

With Guess DJ Cathy Heard



Song #2

Jen K.




Meeting Jen K. in tenth grade was important for me musically. She was a little older, wrote poetry and was ultra-sensitive - all the ingredients for offbeat teen sophistication. She also loved The Smiths. I'd already been listening to late 80s alternative music by the time I met her, stuff like Depeche Mode. However, being introduced to Morrissey and Marr really ushered in the most angst-ridden and over-dramatic phase of my young life. I was never the same. This song best articulated my frustrations, sadness and my constant desire to never go home.



Song: There Is a Light That Never Goes Out



Band: The Smiths
