    roys keen

    You also need to know about the "Confessions" series of (awful) British films: Confessions of a Window Cleaner/ Pop Performer/ Driving Instructor/ from a Holiday Camp. etc. Not a patch on Carry On films, but you get the drift. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confessions_of_a_Window_Cleaner...

    This Charming Ban

    Re: Slow down, Johnny! It's Johnny's casual approach to road safety that robbed me, ROBBED me of my opportunity to see The Smiths, ROBBED I say!! I was at the Royal Albert Hall looking to buy a ticket and found the whole thing was OFF...

    What do you all reckon to a Morrissey 'Bond' theme? Wouldn't that be just fab?

    The Smiths album covers

    Design communicates to different people in different ways. It's impossible to second-guess them so it's usually best to ask around if you're doing an analysis. Now if the question was "How does the design of the Smiths album communicate to you", then you'd be better not asking anyone else what...

    The Smiths album covers

    The Smiths I found it a little confusing at the time when I was getting interested in The Smiths - I'd heard them on John Peel and David Kid Jensen and heard Morrissey interviewed and seen them on TV, but I didn't quickly identify their album in Woolworth's - which is where I would seek records...

    The Boy With the Thorn image - Cecil Beaton - on display NYC Museum

    BTW, Morrissey used Beaton's portrait of Edith Sitwell in the Kill Uncle era.

    Sponge?

    Exit Smiling - a good conclusion I think. Morrissey may have just been up for a challenge though - whether he challenged himself or someone else challenged him to use the word sponge. It is quite a comical word and I can't think of another song using the word sponge. What do we do when we...

    Statement on NME Case by Morrissey on TrueToYou

    So does Morrissey have a tape of the interview with Tim Jonzzzze? Surely he can't rely on the NME or Jonezzzze to provide a tape. Wonder if Morrissey regularly records interviews. I'd guess not.

    Johnny Marr: 'Fantastic Man'!

    I suppose he didn't go looking to have his name attributed to a plant, but it does seem strange that Johnny Marr, vegan, that his name is used for a carnivorous plant Seems the plants aren't available buy. http://www.hantsflytrap.com/sarracenia-hybrids-28-c.asp

    'Morrissey twins' in Coupland book 'Generation X'

    ...and there's also a character called Tobias. The main characters don't like him much :(

    'Morrissey twins' in Coupland book 'Generation X'

    On reflection it wasn't so much an interview as an account of a meeting - in much the same way that Generation X isn't so much a novel as a series of 'acts' or made-up stories.

    'Morrissey twins' in Coupland book 'Generation X'

    Ok, since he interviewed Morrissey in 2006 and titled his 1998 book "Girlfriend in a Coma", we've known that Douglas Coupland is a Morrissey fan. My book club recently elected to read his 'Generation X' novel from 1991. At p120 (chapter headed "Why am I poor?"), some characters are bizarrely...

    Describe The 1st Time You Got To Met Morrissey

    "I'd like to meet Morrissey"; that's what I think sometimes. Other days I think not. I never could get on with Ulysses. Hope this is helpful!: "The first time I met Morrissey was a couple years ago, (when he lived on Sweetzer off of Sunset), some friends and I used to go and camp...

    Re: ??? That's not quite true is it Raphael? The "Ringleader" photo wasn't that. Maybe if he'd had the violin in a case I would agree with you! And the photo for 'YoRR' doesn't really remind anyone of a gangster unless you know the reference. I never understood the dedciation of...

    Vauxhall and I is Overrated

    It's loved. Not sure it is over-rated. I think it's easy to confuse loving the first track "Now My Heart is Full" - which is one of my all-time favourites - with loving the album. I like the acoustic-ness of many of the songs, though of course it's by no means an 'acoustic' album. There's...

    Years of Refusal/ Charles Richardson

    Re: ??? In the thread listing there are 5 little stars against this one. How are they attributed? Does this mean that someone likes this thread or is it that the computer knows I'm interested in it so it highlights it? Thanks for any explanation.
