f*** that noise.A few posters (99%???) are sticking with the old version of Morrissey's story - that's going to happen, I'm not that fussed.
Just curious. Why do we who still post here still post here?
As for me I still love Morrissey as much as I did when I discovered him 30 years ago. I still enjoy engaging in lighthearted and/or serious discussion about his career -past and present- with likeminded folk. And I still enjoy sharing compilations and downloading cool shit that is shared by the actual fans among us.
I don't get much out of trolling or being trolled anymore...nowhere near as much fun as it used to be plus almost everyone else here sucks at it now. When the best character is Brummie Boy, and then you scroll through the archives at the ones who went before, you realize this is like Joe DeRita-era 3 Stooges...
Sad.
Anyway what about the rest of you...why do you come here and why do you hang around?
I'm new here... talk about being late to the party and lamely hanging out in the corner. lol But, to answer the question, I was a casual fan of Morrissey since the 90s, got more into The Smiths a few years ago, but honestly avoided getting too close to any of it because of the "stigma" hanging around M as a human being. But, with Covid restrictions and fears, I was desperate AF to find some sort of new passion or outlet or ANYTHING to distract my brain from reality. So, I started really listening to The Smiths and REALLY listening to M's solo work and I fell completely in obsessive-to-an-unhealthy-level love with all of it.
Also, I want to clarify that I'm 100% a"woke," "loony left" American. My liberal friends all espouse the usual "The Smiths are great! Johnny Marr is a saint! Morrissey is a total c***!" bullshit. When I post about M, most of them completely ignore me, because they don't want to start a fight (although I secretly wish they would so I could take them all down).
So, I'm here because it's interesting for me to see these types of discussions happening. I have no one else in my life who listens to Morrissey; no one wants to hear my thoughts about him; no one gives a crap that I've listened to Trouble Loves Me ~250 times since August 31 of this year. I've also not participated in any sort of message board in more than a decade! There's a strange nostalgia in it that feels comforting in troubling times. So, all this to say, hiiii everyone.
shut up you bald clown
Ok Rifkie

Here’s some slightly less famous but brilliant solo songs to listen to if you haven’t yet already:I love Morrissey and the Smiths!! I'm a new fan (as of August) his music and their music has engulfed my life since then. Fully!! The music is great. I'm not into the trolling or anything like that. I love Morrissey and I love learning new things about him. Still working on his discography.
Only a few from this list I haven't heard yet. I love all of Viva Hate, Bona Drag, Kill Uncle. (Bona Drag has a special place in my heart.)Here’s some slightly less famous but brilliant solo songs to listen to if you haven’t yet already:
- Sunny
- Jack The Ripper
- Sister I’m A Poet
- Have A Go Merchant
- Life Is A Pigsty
- Lifeguard On Duty
- Istanbul
- I Am Hated For Loving
- My Love Life
- I Thought You Were Dead
- That’s Entertainment
- Southpaw
In this order:
1. News and info about all things Morrissey.
2. Entertainment value - sharing experiences, views, comments, debate, discussion, humour, taking the piss etc.
3. Winding up Malarkey.
2 and 3 are of course related.
This is in the real universe. In the alternative reality of Malarkey I am here as part of the homophobic far right conspiracy, involving SER and The Evil Tour Manager. We meet regulary on Zoom. Anyone who wants to join the conspiracy should email: [email protected]
