New Kristeen Interview (Moz content)
posted by vicarinatutugal in the forums (original post): MIDWESTERN BEAT INTERVIEW!!!!!! - myspace.com Kristeen Young Q and A --- Morrissey's songs at Opening Ceremony Store Dog sends the link: Our House - style.com Excerpt: ...Late that night, Jefferson Hack and new couple Spike Jonze and Drew Barrymore joined the other revelers at the Echo Park nightclub the Echoplex, where designer-cum-DJ Benjamin Cho was manning the decks. The Smiths' This Charming Man drew the entire Opening Ceremony staff and a dozen of their friends to the stage, and when the police arrived at 2 a.m. to shut the club down, Barrymore and Jonze's former flame Karen O were still on the dance floor. Nobody was more disappointed to see the party end than Cho, who had a good 20 Morrissey tunes left in his repertoire. --- Defamer Sighting? posted by Jeff196 in the forums (original post): Hollywood PrivacyWatch - Defamer Hey Guys: I just saw Morrissey at the Belair (4-10) eating a late lunch with a lawyer type. I checked as I approached to see if he was eating meat...nope. I said hello and asked if he was still in the music business...he smiled and said: "Yes, I am starting the Vigina Monologues"!

The Ringleader of the Enraged (Score:1)
I am sure that that is why you can't find her albums anywhere - not even in amazon.com, where there is nothing but a couple of singles from her. I heard her via Rhapsody, and I was entranced with her strangeness and her bluntness. There was a track I heard - The Last Thing You Neede to Hear (sorry if I got the name wrong) which I almost couldn't bear, intentionally meant to unerve and to think of what pop world will be if we keep on with this process of producing insensitive music. Is this an exaggeration, what I am saying? MTV can't really do a good job to convince me it is...
After two minutes of The Last Thing You Need To Hear, I was mentally begging she would just resume her bird-like singing. She sings with a lot of strength and dispair - two very difficult things to combine. When she was speaking in this oddly spoken track I heard, she was even more sardonic than Morrissey, who is soft and comic, if compared with what she says and sings. But it's all a matter of style, I guess. You would believe that Morrissey is the one sparking the rebel in her, when he is actually soothing it.
That's why I believe this is a real interview, containing what she really said: she tends to be edgy, a huge and unforgiving bigmouth, and a truckload of harsh words against our sadly increasingly hightech, narrow-minded world. In one song, I have been a teacher, I can testify it... It's quite believable - and desirable! - that Morrissey has softened this talented and enraged misfit, though. Dickens could have not handled all alone this job. And answer that phone while you can, Jeff!

I'm still not a big fan of her music (nothing wrong with it, it's just not my cup of tea). She is obviously an interesting person, however, with a strong sense of humor and, as Mrs. Woolf points out, an angry edge, which can be a very good thing for a musician.
I can also relate to her when she says that Morrissey helped her love music again. Being in the music business nearly destroyed my ability to enjoy much of what is being produced these days. Morrissey really punched through that wall, bless him.
I will be standing/sitting through her set at least three more times this tour. Her music may not grow on me, but I certainly have more respect for her attitude.
