    southpaw grammar sleeve notes

    Re: southpaw grammar sleeve notes (part 2) That was a fascinating read, particularly the bits about the Lads. Good to see them get their due. Brian Eno as SG producer? Interesting prospect...

    This Charming Man - Butchered

    sorry... a little O/T, but I had to respond to your statement about Vini. Did you check out Stephen Street's website? It puts a dent in Vini's argument.

    Everything of worth on earth is there to share I used to dream and I used to vow I wouldn't dream of it now ...the closer I get, You're asking for it... What makes most people feel happy leads us headlong into harm This is the last song I will ever sing, no, I've changed...

    What was the year when you became a fan?

    1991. I came aboard just in time to catch the 1st ever US solo show. My timing also allowed me to witness the unfolding of my favorite Morrissey era ('92-'94).

    Years of Refusal is utterly mediocre

    Years of Refusal is utterly brilliant

    HA! Well played.

    Years of Refusal is utterly mediocre

    Re: Let's all calm down, and be honest..... Excellent point re: YOR's quality. Kill Uncle, a misfire of an album, came sandwiched between two great releases in Bona Drag and Your Arsenal. I'm willing to forgive occasional gaffs if there's some brilliance to balance them out. I find...

    Bernard Butler

    Re: Bernard Butler Adoration Thread "Cocoon". You've got taste! And, yes, "Theme From..." is mega. I'll avoid "Stop". Like anyone, Bernard sometimes misfires. But when he's on... damn!

    Bernard Butler

    HA! I was, uh -- lucky enough to meet Bernard when Suede played at the aptly named Backdoor (old venue at SDSU) in 1993. He signed my ticket stub with a withering look and returned to his beer and girlfriend. Nice guy or not, the incident never dented my admiration for his work. BTW...

    Bernard Butler

    Bernard Butler Adoration Thread Spent some time on YouTube looking up clips of ol'Bernie. I don't care what anyone says or thinks, in my heart of heart I know that muthafugga can PLAY! His performance of "Stay" on Jools? It's FIERCE!. Same with the acoustic "My Dark Star" on MTV. If I...

    '92 shirt

    I realize this is a long-shot, but can anyone lead me to a Your Arsenal tour shirt? Esp. interested in a skinhead girls or Charles Richardson shirt. If you've got one in decent condition, I'm willing to part with a bit of cash. Thanks.

    What was the last Morrissey/Smiths song you listened to?

    crush on boz? that's cute :p. a talented chap... and not 1/2 bad looking in his youth.

    What was the last Morrissey/Smiths song you listened to?

    From the "Does this count?"-file: I listened to Boz playing "Kitt". Based on that solo acoustic rendition, and Jonny Bridgwood's description of the recording as Scott Walker-like, I gather the studio version is pretty special.

    Years Of Refusal Review: The Scotsman

    Re: Years Of Refusal Review :The Scotsman Articles/interviews (can't remember exactly which, please don't make me dig for them!) from the last 2+ years state the lyrics now "pour out" -- basically, whatever lands on the page is considered good enough. My real objection is that...

    Years Of Refusal Review: The Scotsman

    Re: Years Of Refusal Review :The Scotsman Based on the write-ups -- and the form shown on the last two albums -- I have low expectations for Refusal. Before you call me Judas or say I just don't get it, let me point out that I attended Morrissey's first ever US show and I've bought every...

    I don't think Morrissey is gay.

    Re: Is Morrissey Asexual, Gay, Bisexual or what?? Answer: (d). none of the above.

    Favourite Morrissey songwriting partner

    BOZ -- to my mind the most underrated collaborator. I think he and Morrissey have an extraordinary chemistry, as is heard in their songs.
