    Default Smiths in Onion AV Club

    Not sure if this has been posted already but The Onion (satirical newspaper/web site) AV Club has just published a list of songs that should never be covered again.

    # 1 on the list: How Soon Is Now
    If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.

    Seriously, a "Lazy Sunday" reference? Here? You just made my day.


    Love Morrissey, but hate most Morrissey fans? Then this is the FB group for you.

    More true words have never been spoken
    Interviewer: Did you hear Tatu's version of 'How Soon Is Now'?
    Morrissey: Yes, it was magnificent. Absolutely. Again, I don't know much about them.
    Interviewer: They're the teenage Russian lesbians.
    Morrissey: Well, aren't we all?

    Is this the same AVClub that involves/involved Bucky Fukumoto, who directed Moz videos?

    It appears NOT.

    AV Club is largely Bucky's film company. The Onion's AV Club is a website off-shoot of its satirical publication. I bet if you search The Onion's AV Club site, you won't find any articles written by Bucky Fukumoto.

    Not that Fukumoto isn't good at his work, but I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Moz chose Bucky to shoot a lot of his projects simply because Moz enjoys butchering a name to make it sound obscene. To wit, note how Morrissey mispronounces the Japanese city "Fukuoka" during the interview for the 2002 Summersonic broadcast.
