You know what bothers me. This place is either a love fest or a hate fest. Trolls attacked and killed a lot of the joy.re: "World Peace..." Now, they don't have much to do and good riddance. Now, it's largely group think. 'Oh what a great opening act he's chosen.' I dislike this woman and she has not done anything to me; she sounds like a Nico knock off. Can't you hear it? I fully expect responses from CG, RB, and CP. I am allowed to love, to hate, to troll, but no middle ground will be tolerated. This is leading me to believe David is right to post what he wants, stir it up, and normally I disagree with his more controversial choices . Group think is dangerous.

FYI: Longstanding feuds between users who need to be put in the time out corner does not negate group think.

I never watched Kirsten Young and saw Moz many times when she supported him, this is a marked step up from her, total class, cant wait to see her.

I think this is a good add, based on just Morrissey having her around to f*** before a show if he feels down or bored. I think this is good for morale.

She`s lesbian

Yes, female artists exist solely to be f***ed.

He also said Moz lives with Nancy Sinatra in Malibu where they have sex, so I wouldn't take much stock in what this troll says.

She is great, never heard of her music, I love "Desire", song of my week!

Of course it will never happen, but it would be great if they were to duet this...



Anna's voice is just perfect for it.

I saw Calvi at the Isle Of Wight festival in June. She's an excellent guitarist and vocalist. I'm really looking forward to the O2 show now.....doubly so.

I think she will support for 10 or more gigs. I cannot think of anyone on this list that is better. Disclaimer: Not familiar with "Smoking Popes"

BG, there was one on twitter this morning I can't find where she was interviewed and said she was nervous about the Moz shows because she's never played a stadium before. And she reiterated how honored she was he selected her. Did you see that?

 

[Belligerent Ghoul]

I did not see it.

 

[CrystalGeezer]

I did not see it.

Nevermind, it's the original article from Sept 12 retweeted. It looked like current info.

I get tricked on twitter often. Total twittertard.

^^^^^
I posted that Johnny Marr was getting some "God-like Genius Award" a year after the fact. So, um, yeah, er, I totally get that.

Heard a rumour Ms Calvi and Moz may do a song together at the O2..... anyone else heard that?
