Excerpt:

BMG Records have dropped Morrissey. Following the March 2020 release of I AM NOT A DOG ON A CHAIN
(#1 Scotland, #1 Poland, #3 Britain, #3 France, #10 Spain, #13 Germany, #2, #9, #17, #18 U.S.A. - depending
on which official chart you follow), BMG have appointed a new Executive who does not want another Morrissey
album. Instead, the new BMG Executive has announced new plans for 'diversity' within BMG's artist roster, and
all projected BMG Morrissey releases/reissues have been scrapped.

"This news is perfectly in keeping with the relentless galvanic horror of 2020," said Morrissey, "we would be critically insane to expect anything positive."

Morrissey is once again in search of a new label willing to release his music.

"My three albums with BMG have been the best of my career, and I stand by them till death. Recording them has been a pivotal period in my life, and I thank the previous BMG team and everyone involved for that. It's still important to me to do music my own way, and I wouldn't want to be on a label that dictates so specifically how their artists should behave - especially when the word 'talent' is notably never mentioned."

Morrissey's duet with David Bowie is now available on Parlophone via Warner.

"There are too many cases of successful artists languishing at labels who are no longer interested in them." Alistair Norbury, BMG.

Morrissey's Las Vegas residency remains in place for 2021.

I think Morrissey is pointing out that the term is being thrown about in the context of people effectively being sacked; if anyone is being inflammatory and irresponsible it’s BMG.
Except for the fact that no one is being sacked in the interests of diversity, people are being hired in the interests of diversity. Morrissey has been dropped from what, 8 labels at this point? What was the rationale all those other times?
 
This is a weak argument. Many people have always disliked Morrissey and the Smiths. Back in the day they said he was ‘miserable’ and depressing etc. Now it is something else. The point is that a Morrissey album has a guaranteed market and number 3 is a high chart placing. To drop him makes no sense.
Imagine shouting “VICTORY!”, for coming in 3rd - in a race where all of your competitors have been dead for 30 years. Lol!
 
Not in the world @Radis Noir & his cronies live in mate, trust me. If a black man stabbed you, stomped on your head, raped your wife & burnt you alive, for you to even say so would be ‘racist’. It’d be your fault for suppressing him with your White privilege.

And no, before the haters pile in, I’m not saying that’s what I think an average Black man would do.
Why mention it then ?

No, there are businesses being simultaneously asked to down size and produce ‘a more diverse workforce’ simultaneously. I happen to work for one.
 
Not with you Radis no. But again that was my point.

Yet again, cheers Radis, I love how you just re-I force what I say👍👍👍
But once again, you've got it wrong. I didn't reinforce what you said, I simply used your stupid comment against you. Perhaps all that brain trauma is affecting your cognitive abilities?

I’m sure you’ll be challenged on that Hovis; as we saw yesterday, when does actually knowing what you’re talking about make any difference??

Not really Radis, you just don’t like being spoken back to by a non University graduate, do you? And one who seems to get the better of you quite often. Although I know you won’t see it that way.

I await your sarcastic reply.
 
I wasn’t talking about BMG, because - again - you missed my point. You said people could produce ‘evidence’ he is a racist. I questioned that ‘evidence’.

And since when do you set the parameters of what’s relevant around here?
Someone has to educate the tiny, xenophobic, colonizing island people about the ways of the civilized world.

When did you get the better of me, please? You will of course be able to link to the precise comment.
 
Isn't it just a plain & simple fact that his contract with BMG came to its natural end?
Also that there was never any suggestion that it would be extended?
It's the end of a business arrangement. The contract has ended with each party delivering against the contract requirements. That three album deal has now come to an end.
End of.

I don’t think that’s the case.
 
You’re not a University lecturer are you? Because I pity your students if you are.

And again, who made you the decider of what is relevant or not? I know you’d like to think you boss this forum, but you don’t.
One need not be a university lecturer to attain a basic grasp on their native language. ...and one who’s unable to gain access to a university need not spew nonsense, out of neediness and desperation, against those who’ve chosen breadth and depth in their personal education.

Fak Arf.
 
Racists say racist shit. People who are not racist do not say racist shit. There’s nothing “edgy” about it.

Please remind me again... How long until your tiny island f***s off? Kindly surrender your passport and step back one meter from the border. You’ve made your choice clear. Please enjoy your Cornish pasties, bread-pudding and turnip soufflé. Relish in the summers at Brighton beach. ...and fly your flag!!!! Don’t forget to fly your flag because that’s the only thing you’re gonna be flying.
Strange post. Regarding the charge that Morrissey is ‘Nazi’ or ‘racist’, both of which I’ve read on this thread, I’d ask people to apply some logic. Firstly, if Morrissey or his fans were ‘Nazi’ then why is he so fond of Israel? National Socialist Germany was not supportive of Jewish people to say the least. Furthermore if Morrissey is racist then why did he include a duet with a BAME singer on his most recent album?
 
Which is the bigge “hit”?...

a) Morrissey’s new album, with a total of 5000 sales and one day on the Charts?

b) Tiny Tim’s “Tiptoe through the Tulips, re-entering the charts after 40 years and 75,000,000 in total sales?

c) The sound of a Steve fan’s head bouncing off the floor after tripping over their own clown shoes?
I have limited knowledge of Tiny Tim, other than that he was an eccentric hippie who sang novelty songs in a falsetto voice. I think we can all agree that Morrissey is in a higher league artistically.

And there it is. 'Some of my best friends are black'

Now cock off
 
Anti-semitism is ok on the hard left, that doesn’t count as racism. Didn’t you know?
Now critizicing the Israel government and the damage they have caused on Palestine is Anti-semitism. I don't think so.
