    favourite tour

    Oye Esteban - if simply for the excellent set lists during that tour. Hearing songs like "Now My Heart Is Full," "Hairdresser On Fire," and "Break Up The Family" was wonderful - and I had such a great gang to hang out with at those shows too: Xtine, Jo Solders, Mel. Great times, great shows...

    What Three Morrissey Songs Reveal the Most About Him And Why?

    Well, I'm not saying that every line makes sense in my context... but I also don't think every line makes sense in the context of sexuality either. Anyway, Morrissey himself said it was about ice cream, and we know how reliable his explanations are. ;)

    What Three Morrissey Songs Reveal the Most About Him And Why?

    Don't you have shops like that? Certainly, there's a collectibles shop in my neighborhood that I want to go into but every time I pass by it's never open. And sometimes I see someone in there tidying things up - "the one who never serves you". That's all it means to me - the shop has an...

    What Three Morrissey Songs Reveal the Most About Him And Why?

    "Swallow" is about a hickey ("you drew a swallow deep and blue"), not a tattoo. And it's about how the hickey revealed to everyone that he and his love were a romantic interest. ("And soon everyone knew...") And hickeys are quite childish, hence the last verse. IMHO, of course.

    What Three Morrissey Songs Reveal the Most About Him And Why?

    Am I the only person that doesn't think this song has anything at all to do with sexuality? (Although I do think that Morrissey deliberated phrased it so it would provoke that reaction.) I just think it's simply about general repression that's based more on economic hardships growing up than...

    The Moz/Smiths Top 100, Part 207: UNHAPPY BIRTHDAY

    No, No, No, No, NO!!!! Doing something like that will drive us Librans INSANE!!! I have trouble enough deciding what to give some songs with the 10 point system we currently have. It's done perfectly the way it is - anything more "scientific" is way too difficult. And I think you'll see, in...

    Morrissey - 2008 - Greatest Hits - By the Numbers

    At the very least, Morrissey should come up with a clever title like "My Early Burglary Years" to stick on the album rather than calling it "Greatest Hits". He used to put effort into every little thing he did - from designing the sleeves to the typography of the lyric sheets to the titles of...

    The Moz/Smiths Top 100, Part 207: UNHAPPY BIRTHDAY

    It's not a classic, but it's a wonderful little ditty. I probably quote this one more than any other Smiths song... which is probably a frightening confession. But I love it, even though the lyrics are "juvenile". I can certainly relate to them... so I suppose that makes me juvenile as...

    The Moz/Smiths Top 100, Part 204: TOMORROW

    Excellent pop song with one of Gary Day's best bass lines (murdered by cock rocker Solomon on the recent tour). I love the self-deprecating playfulness of the "Tell me that you love me... oh, I know you don't mean it!" verse. It doesn't quite reach the heights of "Seasick...," "We'll Let You...

    Info on new single (release date, b-sides etc)

    Greatest HITS???? That tracklisting looks more like Greatest MISSES to me. What a load of dross. Morrissey is so annoying - what a pointless re-release of tracks that were JUST released!! It's the same old pattern - just like the "World Of Morrissey" album, which was also completely...

    The Moz/Smiths Top 100, Part 203: TO ME YOU ARE A WORK OF ART

    I just miss the days when Morrissey was careful with language. Once upon a time, it would have been "I see the world - it makes me ill" - which has a poetic ring to it. Words like "puke" and "shit" do not belong in the Morrissey vocabulary. It's just wrong.

    The Moz/Smiths Top 100, Part 203: TO ME YOU ARE A WORK OF ART

    I would like this song a lot more if it didn't contain the line "I see the world - it makes me puke". It's another underachieving lyric for Mozzer. I do like the music and the melody though, so I'll give it a 7.

    The Moz/Smiths Top 100, Part 202: THIS NIGHT HAS OPENED MY EYES

    A beautiful creation - one of the many great early Smiths songs. An easy 10.

    The Moz/Smiths Top 100, Part 201: THIS IS NOT YOUR COUNTRY

    Extremely weak song with laughably unbelievable lyrics. Morrissey is always at his best when he sings about himself - when he tries to take on a different perspective like with this song he fails miserably. A 5.

    "That's How People Grow Up" is the new single

    Oh, I do! I think that's easily the best of the new songs, with "All You Need Is Me" and "I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris" coming in second and third, respectively. Then waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down at the bottom of the hill is "That's How People Grow Up". Ugh, I hate that song.

    The Moz/Smiths Top 100, Part 200: THIS CHARMING MAN

    I agree, Corrissey. "How Soon Is Now?" is overplayed, and I always skip it... but "This Charming Man" always demands a listen. And somehow I suspect it always will.

    The Moz/Smiths Top 100, Part 200: THIS CHARMING MAN

    Perfection. One of Johnny's greatest early compositions, Andy's driving Motown bassline, and one of Morrissey's most enigmatic lyrics join together to create THE perfect Smiths single. This is another example of the care that Morrissey used to take in crafting his lyrics. In particular, this...

    "That's How People Grow Up" is the new single

    Well, that would make sense, since it's the worst of the new songs by a country mile, continuing in a long-standing Morrissey tradition of picking the dross for the singles.
