Kevin Cummins and I have started a blog. Every Monday I'll be speaking to him (in English) about a photo he took. It can be an old photo, a new photo, a well-known photo, an unpublished photo etc. It started yesterday with a magnificent shot he took of Morrissey back in the days…

You'll find the blog at http://arca.spex.de/, hope you like it!

Robbie Williams wanted to be Morrissey
posted by davidt on Thursday October 22 2009, @11:00AM

Roky sends the link / excerpt:

"I'm either a genius, or a charlatan or a half-wit, and quite often all three" - Irish Times

ON TAKE THAT: “THEY’RE HAVING A LOT OF FUN AND I WANT TO BE PART OF THAT FUN”: Eclecticism, both lyrical and musical, is the key to this album. “I want to be Jay-Z. I mainly want to be Neil Tennant. I wanted to be Stephen Duffy for a little while. I wanted to be Morrissey for a little bit. So there’s all of these people I would like to be, and considering I didn’t really have a music philosophy coming into Take That or leaving Take That – other than ‘I want this to sound great’ – I kind of allow myself to go all over the musical map, and I have done with this album again.”

How do you feel about Morrissey dropping the F-bomb during his recent concert in Hamburg, Germany? (suggested by Ken Stavitzke)
I support Morrissey's response
Morrissey could have replied differently
I am undecided
I don't care
The audience provocateur should be examined, not Morrissey's reply
