Smiths in Onion AV Club

[Mmmmmm]

Not sure if this has been posted already but The Onion (satirical newspaper/web site) AV Club has just published a list of songs that should never be covered again.

# 1 on the list: How Soon Is Now

"few things are worse than someone trying to be Morrissey."
True dat... double true!
Thanks for posting this!

True dat... double true!

Seriously, a "Lazy Sunday" reference? Here? You just made my day.

Is this the same AVClub that involves/involved Bucky Fukumoto, who directed Moz videos?

It appears NOT.

AV Club is largely Bucky's film company. The Onion's AV Club is a website off-shoot of its satirical publication. I bet if you search The Onion's AV Club site, you won't find any articles written by Bucky Fukumoto.

Not that Fukumoto isn't good at his work, but I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Moz chose Bucky to shoot a lot of his projects simply because Moz enjoys butchering a name to make it sound obscene. To wit, note how Morrissey mispronounces the Japanese city "Fukuoka" during the interview for the 2002 Summersonic broadcast.
