the much maligned munich - it aint that bad

[raincoated lover]

Am i the only one really quite likes Munich air disaster? -seriously, i find the chorus really rousing and infectious "I wish I'd gone down...." was singing my heart out to that at Earls Court - and literally singing -not even just chanting along. Think I actually tried to harmonize with moz at one point-oh dear!

No, I think it is a lovely song and musically speaking exceptional. The band have done Morrissey proud, once again.

Strawberry.

I actually started to like this song a lot more after I saw him play it live in Miami. While it still doesn't rank much more than "good" in my book, I must say that it sounds a lot better on the Platinum version if only because I think some actual thought was placed into the tracklisting to make the b-sides flow well together. Once "don't make fun of daddy's voice" begins, it almost like listening to a like a new Morrissey album. Hopefully one day "slum mums" will grow on me in a similar fashion.
