Morrissey's futureshock (No Rock And Roll Fun)

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 15:42:00 GMT

Can we have heard that properly? In 6Music's report of Mozzer's interview with Hot Press, did they really say that Morrissey chided people who cling to the Smiths for getting too mired in "looking backwards"? If you're going to critcise the Johnny Marr haircut in someone's eye, you might want to check the Charles Hawtrey and Pat Phoenix sleeves in your own, mate.

Call me morbid, call me pale (to die by your side)

Tue, 17 Jun 2008 15:12:00 GMT

You read a lot about Morrissey 's lyrics. A lot about Johnny Marr 's musical ability. But you don't tend to read a lot about how good The Smiths were as a live band. Not to my knowledge anyway. And obviously, as one who spent the 1980s more concerned with the price of penny sweets than music, I personally never got to see them live. Unlike JC, a man who caused me to turn the very shade...

Some URLs Are Bigger Than Others (Londonist)

Tue, 03 Jun 2008 10:18:48 GMT

In the words of The Smiths (we loosely paraphrase here:) Some towns modems are bigger than other towns modems . We think that's what Morrissey was singing, his cadence is a little hard to follow at times. Anyway, it seems the biggest broadband speeds in Britain are to be found in our ever-humble city. Yes, not only is London the all-conquering wi-fi capital of the world , but a survey...

New Morrissey Video - "All You Need Is Me" (And New Album Title) (Stereogum)

He's been implying as much for a really long time, so this song has been a career in the making. "All You Need Is Me," which we first heard via Craig Ferguson , gets a video pitting Moz in a tropical clime with a tambourine, a sunny disposition, and a band full of boys in tight tees. It comes from the Greatest Hits album, one of two new tracks along with " That's How People Grow Up ." You're...
