My Favorite Singers by Xiu Xiu's Jamie Stewart - Pitchfork
Excerpt:
A) Why beat around the bush? THE MOZZER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (aka Steven P. Morrissey)
It is hard to even know what to say other than DAMN!!!!!! DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!! It is so wonderful that he is able to be so plainly hurt and then at the same time so funny. His humor is the slightest defense to hide being under life's thumb. His most unflappable whining is somehow glamorous AND honest AND perceptive. I do not know if this is true, but one of the few things I have heard about his history is that until the first recording session, none of the other Smiths had heard his voice until the tape was rolling. They were, of course, overwhelmed. I think one of the reasons people do so many froggish, joke impersonations of him is because they wish they could figure out what he does to get so deeply inside of so many hearts.
