London - O2 Academy Brixton (Aug. 7, 2011) post-show

I just have to share this right now.

Do you see this thing in the right corner? I thought somebody was joking earlier on when he twittered about a nude Morrissey cardboard. I have this funny feeling that Morrissey is doing a Charlie Sheen. It worked for him, because from what I read his comedy show or whatever he toured with sold pretty well. Britney Spears sold the most records ever when she went bonkers and Kate Moss was back in business amazingly quickly.

Well, my boyfriend sure isn't laughing right now ! He is the one in hospital since sunday night with a broken knee and I really can not see a funny side to this.

Oh, c'mon! I'm sure you must've had a bit of a titter behind your hand?
 
Art-Hounds sounds f***ing brilliant. Morrissey voice sounds wonderfully beautiful. I like how these new songs sound... 'youthful'. I am truly amazed. I want the new album. Now. Thank choo!
 
That cardboard cut out must have been to prevent the riots that were being rumoured to have occurred in Brixton. On twitter

There were riots. A load of Morrissey fans got caught up post-gig at the after show party in bar near the venue - the shutters came down at the front and we were told to wait it out until it was safe to leave. Someone was injured on the way home.

To make some lame joke about the riot being somehow imaginary "on twitter" is hurtful to the man who was injured and to the terrified fans trapped inside the bar who heard helicopters overhead and could smell burning shops outside.
 
When I was making my way to the train station about 10-45.
I saw a gang starting to form just by the arches.
I knew them that it was going to kick off.
I was just glad to get on the train and away out of it.
 
So where are the beautiful girls from Southampton that were in the fifth rank, near the center of the stage???;)
 
A magical evening.

Screamingly Fun.

'You don't have to say you love me,' sang Morrissey with a playful smile.

My life is a shambles but interesting changes are afoot. It's a time of reflection. It's a time for crying. It is a time for Morrissey. All I have done for days is listen to 'Years of Refusal,' and submerge my vacant head in its angry, tender melancholy. My parents failed. I have nobody. Thankfully I still have Morrissey's music and it still gives me a black eye like no other artist. The words hurt, they lead me somewhere I can't quite guess, they kick me in the foot, whimsical laughter follows as the pain gives way, they twist in the air and then they leave me lying on the floor wishing how different life could be.

The pain I feel is because of the realisation of how much time I have wasted on mundane things.

Morrissey was just terribly GOOD FUN this evening. One of the most enjoyable shows I've seen in my life. His voice was slowed down, utterly articulate and focused, dripping with irony and sense of occasion. Each syllable delivered like bricks through the shop windows all around Brixton. Each word chosen for strange reasons, unfathomable reasons. His face doesn't quite do what a normal person's face does these days. Like all famous people, he has long since given up catering. He is who he is. A puzzled grimace, a strangely alluring smile, a considered jut of the jaw.

'I take hormones every day... a word to the wise'

'Something Albert Finney said... but it remains good advice... Don't let the b******* grind you down.'

I Want The One I Can't Have swirls like a kiddies' toddling pool, round and round. Alma Matters was sweet and salty, beautifully rendered. Speedway was a boot to the head. The 15 second pause was pre-orgasmic. Meat is Murder groaned and sailed into the spirit, augmented by images of animals and cruelty, words to inspire. Paris was as bittersweet as any of his songs, cute and mournful, encouraging a few scratchy words of song from my larynx. Everyday is Like Sunday and There is a Light squeezed us just a little by the sides of the thorax. First of the Gang to Die brought the house down. 'You Have Never Been in Love Until You've Seen the Stars Refl;ect in the Reservoirs.'

Morrissey looked magnificient. The band were great. His charisma held my gze like no other.

'Art-Hounds' was dazzling. Weirdness reminiscient of 'Mama Lay Softly on the Riverbed,' a clashing verse-chorus transition, screaming falsetto and pounding drums. A touch of 'Mute Witness' on steroids and heavy, angry drums. 'My Life is Open' he implored. 'Art-Hounds, sitting at a restaurant, very funny, very witty...' There was a sexy dollop of punk thrown into the mix and a fistful of star dust.

'Action' sounded very good in this company.

I wonder, I wonder, I wonder what the future holds.

I don't love life very much but I still love morrissey. I love his music more than ever. And I wait for his next album with a look of distress at the maelstrom of misery I endure every single day of my life. It's pathetic at my age but I still need him as much as ever. Who are we trying to kid? We all do. Who else is there? Nobody.

Sing your life any fool can think of words that rhyme...:D :guitar:
 
I´ve came from Portugal especially for those 2 nights ! It was amazing to be at a Morrissey´s gig in England with all those great fans! :thumb:
 
This was the third time we had tried to see Morrissey play live... It meant a very early start...... Flying from Malta, getting there, meeting great people from all over. But the best part was beining up close and enjoyeing every sec.. It was a shame to hear that someone got hurt at the after party, we had hoped to go but was totally shattered. The only bad part was not being able to get anything as no luggage to leave.... Talking about travelling lightly !!! :)
Anyone know if the tour merchandise will be on sale online at some point of time?
 
Well, my boyfriend sure isn't laughing right now ! He is the one in hospital since sunday night with a broken knee and I really can not see a funny side to this.

..... I truely hope he gets well soon...
