“It was dangerous sex (…)”: KrisTeen Young talks about her first meeting with Morrissey - Blog do Marcelo Fialho

One day before the first concert of Morrissey South America Tour ´13, we´ve interviewed his opening act, Kristeen Young, about her upcoming album with Dave Grohl, meeting Morrissey and a lot more…

Excerpt:

*How was your first contact with Morrissey music? And your first meeting ?
It was dangerous sex, the meaning of life, and the best chocolate cake I’ve ever had. (same answer for both questions)

*What can you tell about your participation in “That´s How People Grow Up” ? Was this song composed thinking about your voice, or did you choose in a demo which one would you like to put vocals in ?
Morrissey brought me in pretty much after everything had been recorded. I didn’t choose the song. He chose ME for the song. He asked me to sing something...

Morrissey realizaría un show secreto en Lima - El Comercio / Peru

Google translate excerpt:

"In Peru we have a surprise. I do not want to talk yet about a third date, but we will do something similar to what they did with the Rolling Stones (show a very low price for a very small audience), "said Perez to the newspaper management ".

In this interview, singer-songwriter Luke Haines, founder of British indie bands The Auteurs and Black Box Recorder, discusses the early days of Britpop and touring with Suede. He compares audience reactions at early gigs with what he witnessed himself as a young rock fan seeing The Smiths play live early in their career. The mention is brief but enthusiastic; he refers to The Smiths as a non-manufactured group who were "a really good band who were fantastic live; blowing the kids' minds..."

If you're a fan, the whole interview is interesting. The Smiths bit is at 13:50 - 14:45.

Good little read - thanks.

And still, after all these years, they spell his name incorrectly. Nice link. Thanks.

Five-minute memoir: When in Rome - The Independent
Douglas Coupland was all set to interview Morrissey. And then the sleeping pills kicked in...

Excerpt-

In 2006, I flew to Rome to interview Morrissey for the weekend supplement of a UK paper.
I flew from Vancouver and to buffer the time-zone change, I was taking the latest in sleeping tablets and then… and then it all went horribly sideways.
