Spin Magazine interviewed Russell Brand for his upcoming movie "Get Him to the Greek" and not surprisingly, Mozzer's name came up:

Aside from Aldous Snow, has your comedy been influenced by any musicians?

Morrissey. The lingering touch of the frosty fingers of Steven Patrick are in every word that I utter. The Flight of the Conchords, too. The songs they write are such good songs that you almost realize later on that they're a little bit silly. Jack Black and Kyle Gass from Tenacious D were also important for me. But hold on a moment. What were we talking about? What am I supposed to be promoting?

  • Just listened to the podcast.Russell said the following.

    "Morrissey and the Smiths, for me they midwifed me from anxiety and isolation of childhood and into a feeling of self acceptance in adulthood".

    A genius of words.
