164. MICHAEL IMPERIOLI RATES THE SMITHS (PART 1) (Discograffiti, the music obsessives' podcast)

Discograffiti

One of the greatest actors of all time—The Sopranos’ Michael Imperioli—is also a confirmed, dyed-in-the-wool music nerd and songwriter in his own right. The Smiths came along and changed the game for him, and Discograffiti needed to find out exactly why.

Here’s just a few of the things Michael and I discuss about The Smiths:

• Why the group made such a huge impact on a young Michael Imperioli at that particular time of his life;
• The song that Johnny Marr describes as what Joni Mitchell would’ve done if she had been an MC5 fan;
• And in-depth dissections of The Smiths’ self-titled debut, Hatful Of Hollow, and Meat Is Murder!

I support a wife and a five-year-old son with Discograffiti as my sole source of income. If you love the episode, please Venmo me a tip @ David-Gebroe, or see below for other ways to support the show! Pretty please.
