    Unconventional Moz lyrics

    I think America is a good song. The lyrics are blunt, but that's how the US of A made him feel at that point in time. There are still some effective lines in there such as "Steely blue eyes with no love in them/Scan the world" and a nice vocal melody. Still, a case of the music outshining...

    New Southpaw tracklisting here

    You're really good with session history -- we know Honey and Fantastic were demoed during the Vauxhall and Arsenal eras respectively. Is there evidence they were given their full fledged studio shot during the Southpaw sessions? I totally agree about not beginning with Teachers not being a...

    What do you think of the new Morrissey single, "I'm throwing my arms around Paris"?

    Re: What do you think of the new Morrissey single, "I'm throwing my arms around Paris Seconded. Paris is an excellent album track -- the studio version has been on repeat for the last few days. Wonderful stuff. Maybe it was chosen for its brevity? But listen to the XFM broadcast of Something...

    New Era for Morrissey

    While it's true that young people living in the UK at the same time as Morrissey was singing his life had a more direct understanding about his feelings, I think it's wrong to assume that fans in the 1980s knew any more about poetry, old films, old queens and old murders than fans would now. If...

    Songs That No One Ever Talks About

    Good idea for a thread, indeed. I think it'd be interesting to stick to songs that are really never mentioned (or played live) by even die-hard fans. "Underappreciated" songs tend to get shout outs quite often. I also nominate Christian Dior as a small gem that came and went without much...

    Yes, I Am Blind

    Nice job. I didn't hear any drums, though (j/k) I get the portable player on both Safari and Camino for Mac. I'd like to join this burgeoning cover activity on Moz-solo sparked off by Frannissey and Uncleskinny (who are both great) but can't play a guitar, or any other instrument. I think...

    Old Alain Whyte interview

    We're in the middle of a little Alain rennaissance, it seems: his contribution to the will.i.am track, his stage appearance with Tiger Army and a new (old) interview. And of course Years of Refusual...when in God's name will we have a track listing?? I didn't know Alain had to wear an...

    Moz mention/comparison to Kev Gray

    I was reading his bio and looking at some of the pictures as I listened to the songs and suddenly realized...(check your email) His singing reminds me of Paul McCartney and late 60s folk. As for Tokyo pub bands, I've heard much worse. Reviewer's "assessment" of Moz' voice is lazy and...

    Rework a Morrissey album

    Cool track listing. Curious -- did you leave This is Not Your Country as a b-side because it would stand out too much as the only politicized track on the album? Like the move of Trouble further down -- could also have been a closer. Morrissey sometimes goes with a "big" finale (Speedway...

    Interesting blog

    I thought someone was going to write up mock lyrics based on "Interesting Drug". Go on then.

    Morrissey & Montgomery Clift

    bhops -- interesting take on Bogarde, thanks. Morrissey once mentioned receiving a postcard (or letter?) from Bogarde, but I was never sure if he was serious or just connecting dots in strange ways (like saying Wilde would watch his video of The Leather Boys at the Cadogan Hotel).

    Does Morrissey have any mental disorder?

    Southpaw was arguably the post-broken heart album and wasn't depressing in the least...except sales wise. Bring on the new version!

    Non Singles Playlist

    Damn, that is a good career spanning non-singles list.

    morrissey pic

    That's great -- it looks very recent (any date on flickr?). It seems he's writing "Meat is Murder" on the person's arm.

    Southpaw release

    Other than the fact that the official cover has a never before seen photo (which is always a good thing), your cover (the top one) is first class. Swallow on his hand, not his neck!

    Best Singing On A Morrissey Song

    Another underrated song, with a very pleasant vocal melody.

    Best Singing On A Morrissey Song

    Choosing songs through the various eras, I'd go with: Late Night Maudlin Street Yes, I Am Blind (very underappreciated Morrissey song, great vocal melody) I've Changed My Plea To Guilty I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday Why Don't You Find Out For Yourself Nobody Love Us Trouble Loves Me Come...

    worst Smiths/Morrissey song?

    I honestly do find something to like in every Morrissey/Smiths song, but one track I find genuinely bad, in all respects, is The Slum Mums. All The Lazy Dykes is a fine song, with a Vauxhall feel to the music and some strong, unique imagery in the lyrics. Bottom 10 or 15%? Perhaps. Dead last...

    Southpaw release

    I liked the cuts and contusions look from the era, but have to admit when I first saw the cover I thought it was a Southpaw shot. He didn't start wearing the white button down shirt/jean jacket combo regularly until Vauxhall/Boxers days. The quiff was less bouffy by then, though and he was into...
