Re: Josie Jones of Big Hard Excellent Fish/"Imperfect List" has died
I always liked the musical atmosphere of the track; surprised to learn it was "recorded" by Robin Guthrie. Brings Moz closer to the Cocteau Twins than anything would, I suppose...
A clever one I think:
You were one, you knew you were one
and you slid right through my fingers
no not literally
but metaphorically
and now you're all I see
as the light fades
ON hearing I thought "not literally but metaphorically" was so knotted and just shy of clunky, so there must be a...
What I don't get about the advance critique offered here is describing it as "slow". Even the four released tracks refute that. Throw away Istanbul if you like, but it ain't slow. Nearly enough to make me wonder if it's a hoax review; but I take his word nonetheless. The world music aspect...
One a week for three weeks -- what does that odd strategy suggest in terms of the label's confidence? (we already know the man's confidence isn't always reliable...)
High confidence (3 amazing songs landing like tidal waves to say 'awesome Moz is back')
-or-
Lo confidence (Take the hit of...

At the Bethesda MD show, there was a long delay after the shirt-toss bit. He walked off stage and the band played out... whatever it was.... and there was a long lag. He came back on mentioning something of the effect of 'sorry for the delay -- I...

We know he enjoys invasions, though.... When he came out for the encore his comment "Thanks for being Gentle" I took to be a sarcastic crack at how few attempts there had been....

Two invasions, by my count. One midway; one late. The second guy did drag Morrissey further from his mike than seemed right, but of course Moz played it to fun effect. What bothered me was when the stagehand rolled him off the stage, the people standing up front just stepped away and let him...

Was great -- first time I got up close. Hand shake/grab at the very end -- tweaked his very soft fingers and I think he rolled his eyes. In ecstasy of course ;~}... Great night!!
Came across this. They claim it's a one-off & don't disclose which Smiths song they cover. I can't find any indication that someone has shared any details. Would love to hear what they do with a Smiths song, but might even be happy to know which song they chose...
Any new word on the autobiography anyway??
I'm getting skeptical -- it would be just a couple months away now; pre-order options on amazon should have cropped up and some publicity gears should have started to turn......
You see a contradiction and/or dishonesty; I do not. I think Morrissey voices a profound conflict in human nature and he believes he sees the truth in it. I think the natural human instinct toward the romantic ideal lives within him and a misty-eyed bit of himself longs for it to be true (and...
