New York dolls – there’s going to be a showdown
Marianne Faithful – come stay with me
Ramones – ?
The velvet underground – black angel’s death song
Klaus Naomi - Der Nussbaum
Nico – I’m not saying
The stooges- your pretty face is going to hell

It's already available as a podcast though at the start it says that the songs are shorter for rights issues.

 

[MyDoppelganger]

The only song I remotely enjoyed was Sea Diver.

 

[All Over Battersea]

I'm uploading the entire programme very soon.

35 minutes and counting

I've got it recorded on good old-fashioned cassette.

I reject modern technology.

[Girl-with-the-Thorn]

That was a great interview- he gave some very enlightening answers and made a few nice quips. The "parcel" joke about Johnny Marr was a highlight for me.

[Raised on prisoner's aid]

Wonderful programme! The idea of him being "separate" was the big recurring theme and was mentioned throughout. Kirsty Young really sounded like a fan from the sounds of things!

Thanks for the Transcript.

Were you honour bound (or contractually bound) not to release it until after the broadcast?

[prisoner77]

I liked "Thank you young"..

 

[Dave2006]

I liked "Thank you young"..

Kirsty: “Morrissey, thank you very much for letting us hear your Desert Island Discs.”

Morrissey: “Young, thank you very much.”

 

[SweetFA]

That Klaus Nomi track is on "Hulmerist".

[thesqualorofthemind]

Really quite charming interview. Reminds you why you like the guy in the first place..

This from Stephen Fry's twitter:

@stephenfry hope we’re all sitting at the feet of the divinity that is Morrissey on Desert Island Discs...

@stephenfry Oh, when Morrissey is teasy and funny and silly and sweet I just want to DIE of pleasure...

 

[musicalcat]

I enjoyed that. But I didn't know the music. I'm too young
He's funny. But it's sad too.
There are ways to live with someone without doing it like everyone else. I know many people who do.
Keep the sleeping pills away from him

 

[CrystalGeezer]

Nothing comforts him? I can't even read this bullshit anymore, Morrissey must've been high as a kite during this. Tricked.

 

[SweetFA]

He talks a lot of nonsense, enjoyable to listen to but i don't believe a word of it.

 

[Dave2006]

Kirsty: “Do you want the Bible?”

Morrissey: “For what?”

Kirsty: “You can use it for any purpose.”

Morrissey: “Well, it’s a best-seller…”

I think I may have found a new signature
