Re: Does your knowledge of an artists politics affect your appreciation of thier musi
It depends on what an artist stands for, I suppose. If Morrissey was to condone hard drug use, child abuse, wife-beating, and bashing up black people and social minorities then that would definitely cause me...
f*** Morrissey-solo.com t-shirts
Hi all,
My apologies if this has already been discussed as a forum thread. I know that this article is a few months old, but with the whole controversy over the "f*** Morrissey-solo.com" t-shirts and Morrissey having David Tseng chucked out of a recent gig...
I'll bet Morrissey will quip in an interview "I wish that Kate & Wills had been shot instead". But I'm glad that Osama Bin Laden is gone now, but his end is only going to be the beginning of something worse unless Al Qaeda are like the Zarbi. (Fans of Dr. Who will know what I am talking about).
Apparently Morrissey liked some of Stock/Aitken/Waterman's music, and he was once seen backstage chatting with Rick Astley after a show back in 1989. Also, Pete Waterman championed Morrissey in Number One magazine in 1990 saying that it was good the charts had him and the likes of the Stone...
Sparks are an awesome band, they should be right up there with The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd in the popularity and influential stakes. Unfortunately in the real world they are considered a band's band who are mostly known for "This Town Ain't Big Enough For Both...
As most Morrissey fans know, he is famous for digging up classic record labels from the past and making them cool to like again. The latest is with Major Minor records when EMI re-released "Bona Drag". I don't know if he is re-signing with them, but here are some other old labels I'd like to...
Hi all,
Seeing as several famous musicians have done covers albums dedicated to their fave artists like Bowie with "Pin-Ups", Duran Duran with "Thank You", and Neil Diamond having just released one, which songs do you think would be great for Morrissey to cover for an all-covers album? Here...
So many, but here are a few stonkers:
"Hide on the promenade, etch a postcard 'How I dearly wish I was NOT here' "
"Yes there are worse things in life than never being someone's sweetie"
"Give us a drink and make it quick or else I'm gonna be sick all over your frankly vulgar red pullover...
Is she the Next Big Thing for music? Or is she going to be a one-off flash-in-the-pan who is past her time and can't handle the pressures of fame?
I think Susan is fabulous, it goes to show that beauty does come from within and you don't have to be a pouting floozie or supermodel in order to...
It's because each successive generation is more watered down than the previous one, plus changes in technology and production techniques are partly to blame.
The music industry as well as most other industries have become sterile, too politically correct and lost the 'edge' that made the...
Anybody like these twin sisters from my town? They've garnered a very dedicated following in America over the last couple of years and this year finally broke it in the UK and Europe with their very 80's styled New Romantic thrash song "Untouched".
They are also the most successful band that...
I downloaded this album last year from the Sparks forum. It's fantastic, very much in vogue with the music that was popular at the time - bits of psyche, garage, British music hall, and even twinges of bubblegum and industrial music (listen to "The Firm").
My favourite songs on it are "Chile...
I think they are quite good and certainly sound different to everything else in the charts at the moment. "Bulletproof" has just entered the Australian Top 40. I can just see Vince Clarke's ears burning with envy, and hope he will do a "Hello Spaceboy" trick that David Bowie did with the Pet...
Hi all,
If anyone is interested in discussing Morrissey's recent material on Decca, I've started a new group on Yahoo! for it at:

It's not like the full monty where you can see his wang or his butt (though I'll admit he's got a really cute arse as well after seeing it in the inside cover of his latest Greatest Hits album).
What do you guys reckon to Sparks and Morrissey either collaborating on a single or in concert? If I get to hear Morrissey duetting with them then I can die a happy man!
