I was in Manchester over the past few days, and my friend and I went on a magical musical adventure around the city, seeing some of the significant Mancunian music-related sites. This included a trip to Salford Lads Club (don't you love the fact that it's 'lads' rather than 'boys'?) to strike a heaven-knows-I'm-miserable-now, Smiths-esque pose, inspired by the famous shot in
The Queen is Dead album sleeve.

I think this is the first time I've appeared in my glasses on this blog, which feels somehow appropriate for the Smiths' aesthetic. I don't need them all the time - just for seeing details, like when I'm catching trains, and reading things from a distance, and when I fancy seeing everything in super-sharp focus, which is often the case when I'm going on devoted architectural wanderings...
