It was released as a single as a result of fan demand.

The b-side of that 12" has two tracks; one is an instrumental called 'Oscillate Wildly'. I've always considered it to justify the purchase on its own.

Oscillate Wildly is indeed mega.The riff of 'How Soon is Now' was inspired by johnny Marr trying to play like Bo Diddley.

i love the video, its all cut up looped madness

Cantankerous · 07.24.2006, 01:17 PM

They play the video on this one VH1 channel we get pretty often.

porkmarras · 07.24.2006, 01:19 PM

The girl in it didn't have a clue what she was in for.I also love the ones that Derek Jarman directed and specifically the one for 'There is a light that never goes out' with that burning car loop.

I remember 'How Soon is Now' was used in an TV advert, for Pepe jeans I think. They were a desperately trendy brand at the time, I recall.

It was rather like suddenly hearing The Fall on that car advert not so long ago. One isn't entirely sure how to feel.

Hey Hip Priest did you read what Morrisey said when someone told him that Mark E. Smith did a gig on a wheelchair?Apparently he said that he should get one himself because it must be the thing to do these days when you go onstage.That cracked me up.Pepe jeans,oh dear...........

Hip Priest · 07.24.2006, 01:30 PM

No, I missed that. Was it recent?

In Probe Records they sell framed photographs taken at gigs (£30 or so each, mind) and one is of MES in that wheelchair.

The advert must have been about fifteen years ago or more. Probably more. It was on at cinemas and everything.

porkmarras · 07.24.2006, 01:34 PM

Yes that was just before 'Ringleader of the Tormentors'.I think that i might have read it on the NME.

porkmarras · 07.24.2006, 01:35 PM

Pepe jeans are still being produced as far as i know.

Hip Priest · 07.24.2006, 01:37 PM

I did a youtube search to see if the old advert was there. It isn't, but there is a modern one for Pepe Jeans featuring the well-known footballer and winker, Christiano Ronaldo.

Didn't bother watching it.

porkmarras · 07.24.2006, 01:39 PM

In fact i'm now sure that i have read it on the NME.It was either the first or second part of their most recent Morrisey feature.
