Jason DidnerJason Didner and the GSPs covered 'A Girl Like You' by The Smithereens ahead of our show at Crossroads in Garwood, NJ — a venue Pat DiNizio called home. The band took a moment to acknowledge it. Grateful. 🙏

Miss Kitty 🌈🌈🌈But a troll a day keeps #MissKitty OK! Fucking LOL. But here's the 411 on a fucking higher powered #troll. It takes a toll on their fucking ass when you fight them down. They don't come back because they don't get the mileage they need. So #don't just #block them beat them into fucking #smithereens.
Jake in the desertJust registered for this, it's tonight, Jim and Dennis of The Smithereens will be talking about their debut record Especially for You at the 'Tuesday Night Record Club' that the Springsteen Archives does via Monmouth University in New Jersey. It's free and there's an in person and Zoom option (I obviously grabbed a Zoom ticket). I've talked here before about how much I love this record - this'll be cool to hear.

Today (October 31) in 1980, The Smithereens released their debut 4 song EP 'Girls About Town'. The four songs were also included on 'Attack of the Smithereens', one of their compilations. Great bunch of songs here. It didn't have them in a playlist on YouTube, so I made one.

bhoutlookThe #Smithereens just can't miss an opportunity to kick people when they're already down - through no fault of their own:
The Smithereens anthology 'From Jersey it Came' was released in September 2004. In 2004 I was 24. The Smithereens had been my favorite band for a while at that point, so this was a treat for a megafan like me. If you ignore the roughness of their super early stuff here, this is a really good primer for some of the Smithereens' best songs. It starts off with ones from their early days like their first single "Girls About Town" and it also includes basically all their later hits, a Springsteen cover, and an INCREDIBLE instrumental version of their tune 'If You Want the Sun to Shine'. The version of the song with vocals is killer, but without them is SO wild. Powerful orchestration and arrangement: https://youtu.be/e9-2KtmHpwc

Remember, this is the example-setting dufus who chugged a beer in the #ABLeg - indicative of the #Kakisocracy that is the UCP. Read the full article for more examples of the damage caused by the #Smithereens.
The #Smithereens caved to the #BitcoinOpPresident.
Over booze.
It's supposed to be #ElbowsUp - NOT #BottomsUp !!
ZERO example of leadership.
Just #GetOutOfOurWay.
Danielle Smith (and the entire UCP) is a clear and present danger to my province and my country.
Everything this hot mess of a government touches results in needless cost & chaos.
"FUMPHER" AROUND.
FIND OUT.
Alberta lifts ban on American liquor imports — but local demand for U.S. booze isn't the same | CBC News
AGLC is now permitted to import American liquor, but the prevailing buy-Canadian sentiment coupled with 25 per cent tariffs means there may not be much demand for U.S. booze among importers and consumers anytime soon.
