    Morrissey Central "We Have All The Time In The World" (June 6, 2024)

    ...the show is...lots of things...but...I like her songwriter skills and couldn't understand or cope with the 'mass consciousness event' stuff...it really isn't like The Beatles footage at Shea Stadium because it lacks that innocence. The 'parasocial psychosis' she's engineering could get out of...

    Morrissey Central "We Have All The Time In The World" (June 6, 2024)

    Superb comment and reference. I agree with you about all of this. What's fascinating is the dichotomy whereby Morrissey cleary seems to grasp transience in his Art yet his comments on Commerce reveal an entirely banal preoccupation with the minutiae of meaningless petty business squabbles. I...

    ...they'd offer 'silent disco-noise cancellation ear- headphones' ticket option at gigs. I will be doing that at my future planned shows...*wink emoji* On the 25 bus back to Hermiston park'n'ride I jotted notes: Taylor Swift. The Eras Tour? Don't believe the hype. It's 50% shite, 25%...

    Take the kids and grandkids with you...we're all getting ready for the manifestations of The Goddess Taylor Swift...me, the missus, the kids + partners. No grandkids yet but fingers crossed 😀 You think Morrissey us expensive? Try having a swarm of Taylor Swift devotees expecting you to bankroll...

    Morrissey Central "GILLESPIE MANIA" and "DANA GILLESPIE" (May 17, 2024)

    So why are Peter Hook and Nicky Wire on that list? Both brilliant, both 'inspired by punk' but their triumphs transcend that glorious lo-fi, primitivist, basic-bitch genre. As does Andy Rourke’s glorious bass lines. My arthritis is a bit of a pain but I can still do these amazing bass riffs...

    Morrissey Central "GILLESPIE MANIA" and "DANA GILLESPIE" (May 17, 2024)

    Eric has matured into a complete sex machine. I kept wondering if his bass has given him erectile dysfunction issues 🤔... ...if you're gunna be a late-in-life rock god returned, get in the fcukin gym like Eric and bicep-swing that low-hung bass from your hips like a funky little bitch... Music...

    Morrissey Central "GILLESPIE MANIA" and "DANA GILLESPIE" (May 17, 2024)

    I got a real feeling they're on the cusp of another triumph with a new iteration: not just a pension-nostalgia tour. At the risk of inflaming the usual suspects here, Eric Avery's status in the canon of compositions does make me wonder what might have been with The Smiths if Marr and Morrissey...

    Morrissey Central "GILLESPIE MANIA" and "DANA GILLESPIE" (May 17, 2024)

    Last night Perry Farrell was vibing between songs and giving kudos to Mancunian bands, performers. Heard him mention Oasis and others who got a rousing cheer. Sound was crap on his 🎤 so might be wrong but pretty sure he didn't mention Morrissey and The Smiths. He was giving California liberal...

    Morrissey Central "GILLESPIE MANIA" and "DANA GILLESPIE" (May 17, 2024)

    Miley's phoning it in on this one. I just got back from a St Vincent gig in Bristol and she is drenched in David Byrne's musical pheromones. She collaborated on a whole album with him. Miley's 'collaboration' with Steven amounted to backing vocals on one song, that unreleased one about Veronica...

    Morrissey Central "STEVE WRIGHT, RIP" (February 13, 2024)

    The lunatic Steve Wright in the Afternoon was radio at its best – no matter what Morrissey thought The late DJ’s taboo-busting show was the radio equivalent of a whoopee cushion, and made millions laugh on a daily basis. But not The Smiths Not everyone was so enamoured – but then Wright never...

    Morrissey Central "YOU KNOW I COULDN’T LAST" (July 26, 2023)

    Sinéad O’Connor deserved better than the music industry - Julie Burchill 'Morrissey summed it up well, as he does all sad things from thwarted love to terrorist massacres: ...Morrissey being Morrissey, there’s a lot of purple puff in the missive (‘Who cared enough to save Judy Garland...

    Binyamina-Giv'at Ada - Zappa Amphi Shuni (July 2, 2023) post-show

    Before deciding to release 'Notre Dame', what possible reputational and legal consequences might a record company consider? What possible 'morbid sequelae' might result from radio stations and streaming platforms amplifying the conspiratorial mindset evidenced by these lyrics, allowing...

    NME: "Rick Astley tells us about his Glastonbury secret set of Smiths covers with Blossoms" (June 24, 2023)

    Rick Astley Is Out Here Purging the Evil Spirit of Morrisey It’s genuinely heartwarming to see, then, that the subject of one of the most significant memes of all time has managed to not only embrace it but to use it to turbocharge his career and to use that platform to cast powerful spells to...

    Morrissey Central "DAVID VANCE" (June 17, 2023)

    To all the mourning friends and relatives: I'm sorry 'going home' felt the need to do this but...they're in a better place now...all the signs were there...if only you'd managed to stage an intervention...just throw all the Morrissey memorabilia into the crematorium flames as well... RIP 🙏 BB

    NME: "Rick Astley tells us about his Glastonbury secret set of Smiths covers with Blossoms" (June 24, 2023)

    'Rick Astley – is performing a set of songs by the Smiths accompanied by indie band Blossoms. The response is immediate euphoria, a mass singalong of such volume that it threatens to drown Astley out entirely, a sense that he’s not playing a gig so much as performing a public service in...

    NME: "Rick Astley tells us about his Glastonbury secret set of Smiths covers with Blossoms" (June 24, 2023)

    Fresh and exciting for whom? Himself and his hardcore fans? That's fine but then he can't expect to be given the press coverage he craves, because there's been negligible interest in his new music from the general public for the past two decades since 'You Are The Quarry'. It's also one of the...
