    It’s not about politics

    Well then, with all due respect, and as you're someone who works with words, perhaps you could have made your tweet a little clearer? You know, something like "I would have quite like to have met Worms from Morrissey Solo. He fought against the tsunami of bullshit directed at M by the press...

    It’s not about politics

    Record Collector: Jim Reid (The Jesus And Mary Chain) on The Smiths debut album

    If nobody has mentioned The Shop Assistants on this thread yet, I'm doing that now. The Shop Assistants.

    The Times: "Johnny Marr: How could Meryl Streep agree to be in Mamma Mia?" (March 19, 2024)

    It's screamingly obvious that Johnny's increase in popularity coincides very neatly with Morrissey's fall from grace. If Morrissey was still in his acceptable "British cultural icon" phase and was touring new and classic solo material with a smattering of Smiths hits, there would be almost no...

    They are two separate jokes, both involving wordplay based around types of sexual identity and desire. In the first, the comedy stems from the similarity between the acronym for a type of sandwich (BLT - bacon, lettuce, tomato) and another acronym LGBTQ, which stands for lesbian, gay and some...

    The Times: "Johnny Marr: How could Meryl Streep agree to be in Mamma Mia?" (March 19, 2024)

    I'll always love Johnny for The Smiths but I have no idea how anyone can make it through to the end of that without falling asleep.

    Record Collector: Jim Reid (The Jesus And Mary Chain) on The Smiths debut album

    Looking on the bright side, at least Jim didn't also add "And look what Morrissey's turned into". Small victories!

    Record Collector: Jim Reid (The Jesus And Mary Chain) on The Smiths debut album

    I always thought William was the cool one of the two, so this is nice to see. (Also: I love "Some Candy Talking" as much as any Smiths single.)

    Off-topic discussion thread / moved as clogging other threads

    We've all been royally entertained by Karen since she first joined "a Morrissey fan site" as Nerak, and then as Vex, and then as Malarkey, with her sweet fandom origin story of falling in love with M's voice as a toddler whose big sister was spinning the records at home, and her desire to...

    What song are you listening to right now?

    "Levi Stubbs' Tears" is truly extraordinary, isn't it? Just a great, great song.

    Glastonbury 2024

    Given that the target audience for Glasto these days is middle-class white creative industries professionals in their 20s and 30s who just "like music" it's a pretty solid line-up. I'm looking forward to seeing (on the TV!) Flowerovlove, Fontaines, and The Streets.
