Re: The Smiths 50/1 to be Christmas #1
I see that John Lewis/ Waitrose are now selling a charity LP titled "Reworked" which includes PPPLMGWIW and a version of TCM by "The Pierces" (who?). £2 from each sale goes to Save the Children

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.

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...
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
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...
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...
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.
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.

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.
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...
"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...
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...
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.

I know I'm not the first to have brought this picture into the mix, but after seeing the album cover and going wow wow wow and salivating at how gorgeous Moz looks, I then sought out this picture in order to...
