Fantastic Bird / Honey You Know Where To Find Me Just got SG...enterprising souls can, you know...HATE the "Honey" guitar solo! oh so mawkish-rawkish, much prefer the lovely demo....fantastic bird is pretty cool for a one-take one-off...you should have been nice to me is quite pleasing to the...

Thanks for the info. I'm terribly interested in the output from 1994, and appreciate the clarification. I was reading the Select interview done just before the release of V&I, and it's conducted at the recording studio as they were "working on two b-sides for the next ("hold on to your friends")...

Hi, a quick question regarding the chronology between the release of "The More You Ignore Me" single and the "Sunny" single. Does anybody know the dates that "Sunny", "Black-Eyed Susan" and "Swallow on my Neck" were recorded? I'm figuring that "Sunny" was part of the "Boxers" sessions, but...

"Sorry Doesn't Help" is on now...

Not too much, but y'all seem starved for info... My friend who was in the neighborhood is out front, apparently lots of craziness...fans who were thrown out not leaving, threats to call the police, a few semi-fights..."Ask" was being played 5 mins ago.

Are any of the tracks from this show that appeared as b-sides to "That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore" available online at all? I've been searching around the forums and can't seem to find.... Richard

I saw him on Oye Esteban Y2K, Pre-Quarry, Quarry, and Greatest Hits...and, surprise, they're tied as favorite. Best shows: Red Bank, NJ in Feb 2000. My first Moz show at the tender age of 17, got on-stage, handshakes, the setlist was brilliant. When he sang "...every jammy Jersey poet" in "Now...

from this sunday's ny times book review of Sheldon Novick's Henry James biography -- everywhere "James" is mentioned, mentally replace it with "Morrissey". "'Henry James: The Mature Master' strives to supplant the common view of James as "a passive, fearful man, a detached observer of the...

It's the opening of Dmitri Shostakovich's Symphony No. 5 in D minor. Funny that The Smiths intro music was often Prokofiev's "Romeo and Juliet" Suite No. 1 (as heard on "Rank")...unsurprising that M goes for heavy Russian classical.

It May All End Tomorrow has it as: Original: ...Drüber Nachdenken ob nicht von jungen Leuten vielleicht mehr Impulse kommen als von Alten, denen nichts mehr passieren kann... ...Wenn es gut geht, wird das ???forum im nächsten März... ...Für Heiner Müller bedeutet es die...

The piano bit at the end of "Tomorrow" - does anyone know what that was sampled from? It IS a sample, right? It's quite nice, I wish it went on longer. I like to hear it on loop. Richard

THANKS SO MUCH!!! I've been a Nico/Antony fiend as of late and saw him do this at his Carnegie Hall show in late 05, haven't heard it since. Do you need any Nico stuff, Smelly French Girl? Her tracks from the "Le Bataclan '72" live disc w/ her, Lou Reed, & John Cale are fabo. Also, just got...

Hi all, I am desperately seeking Antony's live-only cover version of Nico's "Afraid". Can't find it on the Antony forum, and since people here seem to have such fine taste I thought I'd give it a whirl. I would be ENORMOUSLY grateful. Fanks Richard

"Your mild best wishes/They make me suspicious..." in "I Don't Mind If You Forget Me"....'best wishes/suspicious' is like a perfect crib for much of M's writing! Richard

A substantial number of people, quite rightly, view "Viva Hate" as a top Moz album. I (along with "Vauxhall" "YArsenal" & the "Bona Drag" & "Burglary Years" collections) agree to its near-perfection. But, compared to The Smiths? Here's what Moz had to say himself on Viva Hate in 1990: "I've...
