For me, Bowie's vocal performances on Young Americans and Diamond Dogs are outstanding; not to mention his version of 'Wild is the Wind'. Alas, we will have to agree to disagree; after all, what isn't subjective.

At the the beginning, particularly, it seems as if Bowie isn't 'trying' all that hard. To say that Bowie has an awful voice, however, is a fallacy.

Has anyone, apart from me, ever wondered whether these two songs are connected in a way? In the last part of 'Southpaw', Morrissey sings "And now, there is something that you should know; There is something that you should know; The girl of your dreams is; Here all alone; Girl of your dreams...

Presumably, those in Japan, Australia, New Zealand etc. can listen to it already. Indeed, if anyone wanted to listen to it that bad, they could use a VPN. Or, alternatively, they could just listen to the YouTube video that had been around for a few months.

Personally, I've always liked Ringleader; perhaps because of my love of Rome. Whilst I would agree that the album doesn't feature many stand-out tracks, as an album itself, for me, it works rather well. Like Vauxhall, the songs flow into one another; in turn, it feels complete. With Morricone's...

However much I love his music, he’s certainly a hypocrite at the very least. He’s criticised immigration levels in England; however, he’ll happily live in Los Angeles, Rome and Lausanne. It’s one rule for Moz, another for the rest of us.

I knew Morrissey had played Gainsbourg-Bardot's 'Bonnie and Clyde' during the intermission of a couple of his tours - a truly fantastic song, which stands the test of time. So, I guess it's a possibility. I should have asked Nevin when he was discussing Kill Uncle on twitter. Ah, some things...

Thank you! Yes, it is strikingly similar to the album-version. I'd be interested to know if there was any influence. However, the Gainsbourg song is rather obscure and unknown.

Has anyone listened to 'No, no thanks, no' by Serge Gainsbourg? It really reminds me of a Morrissey song; however, I can't for the life of me put my finger on what song it is. Any help, please.

There's definitely a twangy element to the live version of Hated for Loving, such as here:

It’s so easy to laugh, it’s so easy to hate. It takes strength to be gentle and kind. It takes guts to be gentle and kind.
