    Best Album?

    Interesting that no one has said Ringleader, yet. Mine is Southpaw Grammar. I just love that record and never tire of it. Such amazing energy.

    In and Around London & Bath, England

    It had better be good at those prices ... 12.50 (almost US$25!!!) for a bowl of pasta and tomato sauce? Mein Gott!

    I Hate Myself and Want to Die: The 52 Most Depressing Songs You’ve Ever Heard

    Most songs by Portishead make me want to slit my wrists ... in a good way.

    Londoners Help!!!!!!!

    Slightly off-topic, but I met Boz Boorer coming out of one those stores once, back in about 1991! He stopped and talked for ages, and signed the Moz bootleg cassette I had just bought at Camden Market. Nice guy!

    Is there any Moz/Smiths song you wish was never recorded?

    I actually quite like Kill Uncle - listened to it yesterday in its entirety for the first time in a while - but Found Found Found is really weak.

    If Morrissey hadn't of fronted The Smiths......

    Oh wow, Bernard Manning ... he was on British TV constantly in the 70s. Amazing!

    In The Future ... cockup

    Apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere, but ... My CD2 of In The Future When All's Well lists track 2 as "I'll Never Be Anybody's Hero Now" on the back, and as "I'll Never Be Anyone's Hero Now" on the front pullout sleeve. Anybody's/Anyone's ... SLOPPY, Attack! My God, no wonder...

    Who sang that version of Panic - 1940s female vocal style Beverly Sisteresque???

    That's by the Puppini Sisters: http://www.myspace.com/puppinisisters

    Did anyone try to contact Ed Mendoza?

    I sent an email to Ed, for Morrissey. Short and sharp. I know I will never hear back, but it was cathartic.

    Hey people from London!!

    There is no 12" of The Youngest Was The Most Loved. The only existing formats are two CDs (mini and maxi) and a 7" vinyl single.

    Sweet and Tender Hooligans Tribute

    From the subject line, I thought this was going to be about a tribute band to Sweet and Tender Hooligans ... who are themselves a tribute band. That would be awesome.

    Favorite altered lyrics

    "Most people keep their brains between their legs ... I DO!"

    How many of us consider Morrissey a 'sex symbol'?

    Um, no. I'm a gay man, but Morrissey does absolutely nothing for me in the trouserage department. It's quite a relief really ... I'd hate to think I liked him for that reason, when really it's just the words and the music.

    Southpaw Grammar Appreciation Thread

    Hmmm, I think the production on this album is supposed to be very rough and raw sounding - almost as if there is no production at all. A lot of the songs sound like they were recorded in one take with little mixing ... and I love the fact that Moz sounds like he has a cold a lot of the time...

    How do I play this thing?

    I use iTunes to play music. I started iTunes, put the CD in, and the three audio tracks showed up there, no problem. It let me rip them to mp3 without a hitch. To watch the video, I inserted the CD when iTunes was not running - it started itself up just fine. It's great that in the video, when...

    Vinyl releases

    So today, of course, I went to buy "The Youngest Was The Most Loved", and bought each of the three formats in a separate transaction, on the off chance that doing so might count as more sales (for chart purposes) than buying them all at the same time. The woman at the cash register looked at me...

    Do you think that Morrissey would like you?

    Exactly. When I met him, even though he had to be somewhere else (a car was waiting for him), he stopped to talk for about ten minutes, and even asked me questions. (One of which, when he found out my name, was "Do you live at ...?" - he knew where I lived, presumably from letters I had sent him...

    Morrissey/Smiths Story Game

    That was brilliant, Worm!

    Swearing in Smiths & Morrissey songs

    Exactly. I always thought it was "soft touch" too ... I just went back and listened to it again, loud on headphones, and yes, it is. It does make perfect sense in the context - it's easy to get whatever you want out of Tony. It's interesting when people from other countries misinterpret...

    My Favorite Morrissey Line...

    Two from 1985: "And when I'm lying in my bed I think about life and I think about death And neither one particularly appeals to me" and "If you ever need self-validation Just meet me in the alley by the railway station" Such pathos and such humour, all mixed up together.
