This happened last year, but I only just found out about it. And there doesn't seem to be any mention of it here on Solo...

Ah yes. Remember the letter where Moz railed against Keane and their success?
I thought this was an excellent version.
I liked the cover too. But I like Keane, so I may be biased.Ah yes. Remember the letter where Moz railed against Keane and their success?

I don't remember Morrissey railing against Keane in a letter specifically, but I remember that he went off on a bit of a rant about them once. Something about their debut album knocking 'Quarry' off the top spot or something? At the time, I thought it was tongue-in-cheek, but I have no idea anymore...

Utter f***ing nonsense. It was nothing at all to to do with pluggers or Sanctuary, idiotic racist clown. Top tip - try checking your facts before making an utter dick of yourself time and time again.Yes, it was more a go at the 'rubbish' pluggers and management at Sanctuary who he claimed had robbed him of a prized number one album, whilst 'Keane storm on'
Sophie Heawood (The Guardian, 11th Nov., 2013):
"...How I thought of that when I read Morrissey's memoirs and found Keane making a surprise appearance on page 376, when the man says how "astonishing" it was when their debut album, Hopes and Fears, kept his Quarry off the number one spot, and they wrote to him to apologise. (What he doesn't mention is that he replied saying he forgave them.)"

He also covered 'why don't you find out for yourself' a while back, too. Love the first Keane album but the rest were strangely mediocre.
I liked the first two myself. Crystal ball is such a sad song. Think they just didn’t know how to grow beyond that sound and kinda floundered
I think he had a drug abuse problem after the 2nd album but got himself sorted out

That’s cool and it happens. I liked some songs off of the third album but it sorta had the feeling of oh what do we do next, bring in the electronics etc. I know Tom gets a lot of attention but for me it’s oxley that’s the draw
I had only seen them once which was back in 2005 when they supported U2. Apart from Joy Division its the only time I've seen a relatively unknown band wow and audience and it was all down to the energy they put into the performance, they were brilliant and what a f***ing voice. Saw them again 4 or 5 years later at V festival and they were excellent again.
