Hard to be nostalgic about something I missed the first time.
For me it's like when 16 year olds say 'things used to be better' when they have nothing to base it on.
Tapes were on their way out, the first format I bought was CD.
I buy CDs for colleting's sake but have no problem with...
I know that 'My Dearest Love' and 'Drive In Saturday' weren't available.
Perhaps I should have made clear that i meant they SHOULD make them available online.
I personally don't have any problem listening to music on MP3 (and can't understand people who refuse to).
If they don't make it...
Doesn't bother me that much - as long as they make it available online too iTunes/Amazon etc).
It's about availability/accessibility to me, rather than which format.
I wasn't alive when The Smiths were about.
I started listening to Morrissey because of Russell Brand.
I illegally downloaded his greatest hits album, then bought the rest of his work.
Does that make me less of a fan? Because I wasn't there at the very start?
As for the cover: does anyone...
Re: mark ronson strikes again!.
I do hope this isn't a remix by Mark Ronson - it's just a clap-track.
Whatever you think of him, he's slightly more talented than this. This sounds fake to me; that or the first song he ever touched.
Would I be correct in saying that nothing official has come from Morrissey since the 'Hollywood Bowl' release?
Isn't it conceivable that Morrissey's "people", as well as Morrissey himself use the site as a mouthpiece?
I don't understand our current need to have celebrities lay everything out...
Its one of the most enjoyable Morrissey books I've read for a long time - let's be honest, we're very unlikely to ever get an expose of any new information without it being sanctioned by Morrissey himself so we may as well enjoy what we have.
Children In Pieces is dull as hell, and really doesn't seem to have anything to say - therefore I rarely (:never) listen to it.
My Dearest Love however is wonderful.
Love Drive-In Saturday too, but it's a pretty standard cover (even factoring in the brilliant David J mention lol)
I once had a really brilliant night with a very sexy young man and he played his Smiths compilation in the background.
I'm sure, had it been filmed, it was quite artistic.
Incidentally, he played me a-ha the next day and I was gone. So fickle.
Fair enough it has different connotations in different parts of the world. However, I have told you I find it offensive and only a real sociopath would continue to use it just because you are bizarrely against being-PC (which is a term, like 'Health and Safety' which idiots have taken too far...
Erm, it's pretty widely seen to be offensive actually.
Just because you've used a word for years doesn't mean you still should - especially when there are countless other words you could've used.
Wow, you were sounding incredibly patronising until you said you thought 'That's How People Grow Up' represents a "better taste in music" :p
Seriously, I have no problem waiting but there's always a reason to these things - and it is odd that both this AND the Southpaw Grammar re-issue AND...
Judging by some of the recent dramas I would think Moz is on pretty thin ice with the record label and he'd certainly be advised to do what they are asking.
If something is considered so bad that your own record label is reluctant to release it you need to be worried.
That's How People Grow...
