The entire album reeks of "that'll do." Aptly put. Reading and hearing interviews with the people involved though it sounds like that's how Morrissey wanted it. Langer and Winstanley and Nevin have all been very up front in stating that they felt like they were creating demos and were shocked...
I agree- Tony the Pony is a great song and still routinely makes it on my Morrissey mixes. On the flip side- Journalists Who Lie was the first real whiff that Moz was to become who he is now. The first real sign of trouble IMO.
The Life Pursuit was great... the only albums of theirs I don't absolutely love are Fold Your hands Child and Storytelling. There are a couple of great songs on Fold Your Hands though... Nice Day for a Sulk, Women's Realm, There's Too Much Love. I always liked Electronic Renaissance as well...
If more time was spent fleshing out the songs on Kill Uncle and they took a different production route I really think fans would rank it as one of his best albums. I like it. A lot. I reach for Kill Uncle more often than Maladjusted, Southpaw, and certainly more than World Peace... in fact...
Expectations off of Tigermilk is probably one of my all time favorite songs- first time since I heard the Smiths that a song stopped me in my tracks and gave me goosebumps. I can't disagree with you that it's a great album.
Hey Calamine... if you want to try out Belle and Sebastian I'd start off with the albums "The Boy With The Arab Strap" "If You're Feeling Sinister" and/or "Dear Catastrophe Waitress." Avoid "Storytelling" like it's a contagious disease. They care about sleeve art and their B sides are usually...
All proceeds less overhead, variable and fixed costs is called profit... so, yeah, he could just say all profits go to the charity. I agree with most people on here though- something's better than nothing and, really, who cares? I doubt either Moz or the charity is making tons of money off the...
Calamine... I live in the U.S. and Belle and Sebastian and The Divine Comedy are two of my favorite bands next to The Smiths. Neil Hannon (The Divine Comedy) is capable of writing lyrics every bit as good as Morrissey's. I agree Belle and Sebastian are annoyingly twee at times but when they're...
...oh and who cares if he hangs out with younger NYC hipsters? Morrissey's boyfriend, err, excuse me... "assistant" looks a lot younger than Moz and also looks like he's an extra from Zoolander. He surrounds himself with much younger musicians on stage as well (except Boz of course!)
Andy looks fine... you're wearing blinders if you think he's aged worse than Morrissey. They've all aged. Period. We should all look so good in our 50s and be lucky enough to make a living doing what we love.
