    Name Morrissey's ideal band

    Finally worked out who Bailiff is - it's Broken. A) he knows vast amounts of Moz trivia and B) he's always banging on about Bernard effing Butler! If Butler is such a genius, why was his solo album (s?) so dire? And, more recently, why was the Tears album so duff? He's a vaguely respected...

    Moz / Smiths on Stylophone?

    I bought one for my niece this Christmas. pretty much turned out to be the most popular present of the family Christmas - hours of entertainment! managed to work out the intro to Last Night I Dreamt - splendid stuff!

    Download campaign to give Moz a #1 song -- Can it work like it worked for Rage?

    Re: For your interest These are just first-week sales. Having said that, most of Morrissey's singles sales (around 80% at a guess) would come in first week as his singles normally go flying out the chart within a fortnight. The only exception in recent years is First of the Gang which...

    Download campaign to give Moz a #1 song -- Can it work like it worked for Rage?

    Modern day Morrissey singles don't sell anywhere near 70,000. First of the Gang might have got close to 40,000 (with IBEH and YHKM a little less) but recent singles won't have even sold 20,000 - many less than 10,000. Moz has really suffered from the download era (his singles do ok in the...

    Best Cover version 2009 by non-professional

    Peter Skinny's cover is great - may even prefer to the original (although in all honesty, that's not saying much!). a splendid bit of strumming. Have you done other Moz covers, Peter?

    Download campaign to give Moz a #1 song -- Can it work like it worked for Rage?

    absolutely no chance. his last single didn't even reach the top 40 - sold around 5,000. if many of us here wouldn't even be interested in such a campaign, what chance does it have in the real world? don't get me wrong - I'd love Moz to have a number one single but he'll need a very good (i.e...

    Best Morrissey-single of the decade

    Singles remain hugely important, I'm afraid. They are how most of the listening population gets to hear about new music, and determine whether people buy the album. Moz needs to release brilliant singles to get people to buy his albums. Although we moan that radio stations won't play his songs...

    Morrissey & Robert Smith

    I think you're wrong there. there was huge amounts of acrimony between them. Smith once said that he deliberately ate more meat because of Meat is Murder. Moz said tons of unflattering stuff about the Cure. one thing that sticks in my mind is "the Cure bring a new dimension to the word crap" -...

    Morrissey & Robert Smith

    Re: Morrissey & Robert Smith? this has been discussed about 8.3 zillion times before! however, the long and the short is that they publicly hated each other back in the 80's, never missing an opportunity to slag each other off. two or three years ago, Moz said something quite positive...

    2010 - set to be the worst year to be a Moz fan since 2001?

    it's a nice message. it kind of confirms what I'm saying, though, if anything. Morrissey's stock is at a low ebb. there's no record company interest. his sales have plummeted. the tour was fraught with problems. it's pretty depressing, though, that he thinks Quarry, ROTT and YOR contain his...

    2010 - set to be the worst year to be a Moz fan since 2001?

    if you bothered to read my posts, you`d see that I strenuously disagree with Vauxhall 95 about the quality of Morrissey`s recent songs. plenty of wonderful songs in the 2009 batch and YOR is easily his best post-comeback album. but 2010 is still likely to be (and probably needs to be) a very...

    2010 - set to be the worst year to be a Moz fan since 2001?

    I don´t see it as pessimism. that would be to say that Morrissey is unlikely to ever tour or record/release new songs again. it´s realism. he seriously needs to recharge his batteries - the same old same old won`t be good enough. he needs a year off (from touring and releasing new stuff) at...

    2010 - set to be the worst year to be a Moz fan since 2001?

    Re: give him a break I'm not talking about my own situation (a big fat redundancy cheque will do very nicely, thank you very much!) but the the situation with regard to what Morrissey's doing. his tumbling record sales and (arguably) disastrous Swords tour suggests to me that he'll be...

    2010 - set to be the worst year to be a Moz fan since 2001?

    it's been a pretty disastrous year, commercially, for Morrissey, and the Swords tour has arguably been his most problematic to date. he needs to take time off - of that there can be no doubt. whether it's one year, three years or five (or more) is the question...

    2010 - set to be the worst year to be a Moz fan since 2001?

    2001 was a grim old time, wasn't it? No sign of a tour or a record label, let alone a new album. The longest period (in the history of Mozdom) without a new record (id est, four years). All we had to keep us amused were a few rumours on this very site. Can anyone offer up any evidence to...

    The Moz/Smiths Top 100, Part 249: I'M OK BY MYSELF

    Ah, it's Jamie's favourite Morrissey song! Probably an 8 from me - a powerful bit of music, some nice turns of phrase, not too keen on the outro though. Looks like it could dislodge You Have Killed Me as Jesse's best co-write...

    The Moz/Smiths Top 100, Part 247: YOU WERE GOOD IN YOUR TIME

    oh dear. looks like poor old Goov is destined for a place in the 10 worst Morrissey songs of all time. amazing how so many reviewers picked it out as a highlight. the melody's kind of ok but the lyrics are pretty dire, and the use of the first person plural is grating. kinda proves my theory...

    it's one person's individual opinion. he's not even a music journalist. he's put 'That's How People Grow Up' in his top ten, FFS! must we keep discussing?
