In an interview in the Quietus, Spoek Mathambo lists The Smiths as one of his favorite albums
"... I like Morrissey's sense of humour. I like the way he writes; he's so melodramatic, but very funny.
But also, as a young man, The Smiths and The Cure allow you to tap into another kind of masculinity, sometimes a real vulnerability that isn't hinged on "my baby left me." That's not really what he's talking about. It's really androgynous, very soft in a lot of ways. And it's also very cryptic, you know? It's taken me a long time to understand some of these songs. Even after these ten or so years, I have to read the lyrics, and it's like, "Oh, he wasn't saying that, he was saying that."

Well, yes, but I figured that out without having read those faxes.
Are you going to tease us? Please do.

I bet it was Urbanus hacking the sound system of the IKEA
LOL.And he must have a big storage with all the missing screws and other stuff that are missing around the globe.
Now if I would hear it I would be choking on my Swedish meatballs, even when there was no meat in it at all but sawdust.
Now Urbie, hack the IKEA in China or am I asking too much?
Surely not?

BBC 6 Music Radcliff & Maconie's music news reported about "I Wish You Lonely" and pop up shops, then played the song.
One of the listeners commented that Morrissey sounded like Tony Hadley
Which says more about the ageing/ailing demographic of BBC 6Music than the actual timbre of Moz.
{No offence K.
} .
Hahaha, one of the anti-Morrissey DJs Robert Elms (but he's a good friend of Boz) had to play Piccadilly Palare because his regular contributor Johnny Homer was talking about the area this week's slot.
I rang the show few years ago when he did Randy Newman 4Fa (four fantastic tracks) and appeared on live.
I requested Simon Smith and the Amazing Dancing Bear secret honour to Morrissey.

May have been one of mine. I wrote questions for the show. Really.
