Morrissey on The Janice Long show - reports / download / Years Of Refusal sleeve?
posted by davidt on Wednesday October 22 2008, @09:00AM

Kewpie summarized the interview from Oct. 21 (in the comments of the previous story, playlist correction by LoafingOaf):
Songs requested by Morrissey:

Dear God, Please Help Me - Marianne Faithfull
If You Don't Care - Smoking Popes
Mighty Joe - Shocking Blue
Roll Up the Red Carpet - Doll and the Kicks
Mother - Siouxsie and the Banshees
Initials B. B. - Serge Gainsbourg
Rachel - Al Martino
One Thing Never Changed - The Pretenders
Goodbye Cruel World - James Darren
Morning Star Ship - Jobriath
Jar Song - Damien Dempsey

Unfortunately Morrissey started asking questions to Janice, she only managed to ask about the album sleeve of Years of Refusal. Morrissey only admitted he's holding a baby.

He was offered to be in a Kit Kat TV commercial, to appear in his favourite soap Emmerdale, but both he turned down.

Interview was broadcasted in two parts(around 0:15 and 1:10), can't remember all the conversations, but after Playing James Darren's song Morrissey's quips are hilarious.

Years of Refusal... cover?
Am currently listening to the Janice Long interview and Janice alluded to Moz holding a baby on the cover of Years of Refusal...

Well, on photobucket I found this.

I fully expect to be shot down in a blaze of wild speculation.

    I have been listening to that new Smoking Popes album all week and it is quite good. Not as good as Destination Failure, but a pretty good sequel. He should have picked a different track to play, though - The Corner.

    Thanks to Janice and Morrissey for a most agreeable interlude. Perhaps not Moz' selection, but I also appreciated the Achtung Baby number at the beginning, and the Neil Diamond anthem between the conversational sections.

    Damien Dempsey has done well, a solid stayer. A small venue in the middle of the country quite near where I live has pinned him down to perform there over the next couple of months. Btw, Sack is back too, in The Button Factory (Dublin) on Nov 14th.

    However we're none the wiser after the interview where the action will be next for Morrissey. Still, life is full of surprises... : )

            I think this is a really interesting and stylish picture and would make a terrific album cover. I like his use of props: the 'on the offensive' Tommy gun of 'Quarry'; the harmonious violin of 'Ringleader' and now the curious baby!!! Intriguing!

            An interesting and engaging chat with Janice. He seems more and more at ease and more confident with each interview that he does, he is developing a penchant for counter-questioning his interviewer! He's always opinionated and terrifically humorous with it.

            It's good to have a fix of Moz, really looking forward to the album and the singles.

                  It's strange - two of the most gifted singers I can think of have been good friends for so many years, and yet there hasn't been a single duet (unless I'm missing something).

                    Morrissey just wanted to go on Janice Long in order to continue to try and force the world into falling in love with Jobriath's "Morning Starship".

                    The reason he ended up mostly asking Janice Long questions is because he is shy and wanted to run out the clock before she asked any real questions of him.

                    Not that he has to answer any questions. But why grant a radio interview if you're not gonna say anything of note?

                      SoLowers are busy trying to figure out the cover photo of "Years of Refusal", but none of them notice the obvious starting point: The inside cover sleeve of "Your Arsenal" has gangster Charlie Richardson holding a baby in his right arm.

                      It's still wide open to interpretation as to what it all means, but that is definitely the starting point. There's a page on Charlie Richardson in Jo Slee's book Peepholism - page 159.

                      I'd like to hear some interpretations about that thingie Morrissey has on his right arm, and the thingie on the baby's forehead.

                      I have some theories about all of this, but I'm waiting till my unjustified ban is lifted in the forum.

                        I see idiotis discussing me in the SoLow forum during my banning.

                        UncleSkinny and Bored are patting each other on their backs, claiming that the banning of Theo shows how things ought to be done on SoLow.

                        Bored is the moderator who issued me an infraction for "racism" for merely quoting African-American actor Samuel L. Jackson from the movie Jackie Brown. Meanwhile, "Bored" gives his approval to an entire SoLow thread about "white trash" people. Is that not racism, Bored? Is quoting Samual L. Jackson a "racist" offense, while created a thread to laugh at "white trash" is not racist?

                        There is no due process on SoLow. Idiots discussing me think they have justifiably banned me for "racism" when I don't have a racist bone in my body. Then they turn around and defend a thread which has a title and purpose of mocking "white trash" -- attacking people simply because they have white skin and low incomes. These moderators have a lot of explaining to do!

                        And, no, it was no surprise that I was banned just days after appearing on the enemies list of moderator "Kewpie".

                                          Interesting that of all the Serge Gainsbourg songs that Morrissey could have chosen he decides to pick SG's homage to one of the world's most famous co-travellers of what in Europe is erroneously termed the "Far-Right". Obviously, (although I would imagine that this reference has gone over their heads), I wouldn't like to see the likes of LoafingOaf and the rest of the "anti-racist" contingent getting so hysterical that they end up fouling themselves whilst reflexively attempting to break the record for fitting the R-Word (r*cism) the most times into a post. However, would definitely be interested in hearing more thoughtful opinions on this..........is it just (another) coincidence?

                                                For some reason this recent photo was taken...I think that would be a great cd cover but i also do like that one with the guy near the classic car. Vintage!

                                                Hope that there are no postponed fucking issues Moz!
