i'd love to see Moz host a televised round table on today's music biz, or pop culture in general. so many hold his views yet we're all being subjected to such crap. who the hell's running things??
 
Would you like toast? "TOASTERS THESE DAY ARE NOT LIKE THEY USED TO BE. YOU USED TO BE ABLE TO HAVE YOUR TOAST EVENLY TOASTED AND THE CRUSTS WOULD BE PERFECT AND THE CRUMB CATCHER USED TO CATCH THE CRUMBS WITH PERFECTION BUT NOT ANY MORE."
 
"I'm not talking in terms of local transport." ahahahahahahahaha that Morrissey issooooooo funny.
 
The radio really is fairly dire in its menu of music, for the most part. Overall a chirpy interview, a lot of loving going on. He's far from alone in despairing of how events such as the riots are covered e.g.
...Q: What of the reactionary response - by both right and left - to pinpoint this on the 'marginalized'?It's always been an instant response to riots to say that they are the marginal in society, they are people who are already violent in society. Those studies that have been done - and the biggest study was the Kerner Commission after the American riots of the 60s - which showed that the average ghetto rioter was not marginal. The average ghetto rioter was on the whole more educated than the norm, at least in the communities that participated. They were more likely to be members of more community organizations and they were less likely to have a criminal background. So again, the presupposition that this is a gang phenomenon is untested-we simply don't know. Or again, that somehow there is a loss of parental respect. What our own research and contemporary research has shown that young people involved in violence don't want their parents to know. They do it in such a way that their parents don't hear about it. But then when their mums do hear about this they don't like it, in fact they're upset if their parents are upset. The notion that these are people who come from broken homes and don't give a damn what their parents think and we've got this young feral generation-again, this is an entirely untested set of assumptions based, on the whole, on political presuppositions. The explanations that are coming out are very much bounded up with that politics of blame...

There seems to be a formatting error on the last question. Is Morrissey saying the new album is completely recorded and due out in January?

Morrissey's asking Young the Giant about their album. THe interviewer is the lead singer. I think he's the lead, he's in the band anyway. Morrissey turned the table on the interview.
 
why people were rioting, that question was raised many times through media; i would actually like to ask morrissey what he would see was an acceptable reason for certain rioters to be vitimizing, burning down buildings, injurying people they don't even know?
If one of them say burnt down his house, didn't know he lived there, didn't even know who he was, how would he feel?
Did they have the intelligence to stop and think; who am i victimizing, and what exactly would this achieve... make them better than what ever it is there angry about?​

Moz should think about trying out Pandora Radio.

You type in the artist/band you enjoy and a whole series of other artists show up on the playlist that you might never have heard of before.

I feel it's the best way to find new music while avoiding the barren wasteland of regular radio. There's some really good stuff to be discovered from Pandora radio (and it's a free app too!)

I love Pandora but sometimes it doesn't work. For instance, if you type in Morrissey it lumps him in with 80s bands when I feel his "sound" is more along the lines of crooners and velvet-voiced singers. They miss the mark on him, it's a bummer to hear the beauty of his cover of Moon River fade into Bizarre Love Triangle, but otherwise it is a great way to discover new bands.

That sounds like heaven for my sister. (She loves Morrissey and New Order.) I think Pandora is supposed to do bands that other people who like that band like, not similar sounding bands. My mom was complaining about the same thing earlier. She was listening to a White Stripes station and Modest Mouse came on and she was like, "How does this sound like The White Stripes?" Indeed it didn't. Moon River would sound great next to a crooner song. :love:

Oops, ignore me, I'm wrong. I just remembered, when you turn it on a band's station it points out an aspect of the music and then plays another band that has that in their music. (It's been a while since I have been logged onto Pandora.) Yeah they can be a little off sometimes. Something from Bona Drag would probably go well before New Order. I am not sure how Modest Mouse and The White Stripes could go.

Even though the Stripes sometimes do that throwback bo-jangly thing, I think they both fit into the category of non-synth modern rage rock.

morrissey interviews are so repetitive sometimes. it's always the same questions being asked.
 
OH! now I get it. this dude is the young giant or whatever and so that's why it's all this pile of wank.
