    Yellow Magic Orchestra

    Was listening to some of Ryuichi Sakamoto's music on hearing of his death. Does anybody else think that the intro to Yellow Magic Orchestra's 'Behind The Mask' could have been inspiration for the opening of 'Ouija Board...'?

    Morrissey A-Z: "Glamorous Glue"

    Rockonteurs Podcast: Johnny Marr (Morrissey mentions - January 24, 2021)

    I've not listened, so maybe it comes up, but I wondered if Gary Kemp had seen this Johnny Marr quote: I can’t bear the thought of a Spandau Ballet-style comeback. What’s the point? Spandau are reforming, so they put on a big chicken-in-the-basket event, which is all they amounted to in the first...

    FOR HISTORIC RECORD, BEFORE I DIE. - Morrissey Central

    Probably not the best timing for him to claim that the 10 most important albums ever are all by white people.

    "Wedding Bell Blues" w/Billie Joe Armstrong digital release, BBC Radio 2 first play (Apr. 8, 2019)

    I'm now wondering if 'William, It Was Really Nothing' was an answer song to the original of this all along. In 'Wedding Bell Blues' the singer wants Bill (short for William) to marry her. In the Smiths song, the singer urges William not to stay with the girl asking him to marry her.
