Speaking of Morrissey, he's apparently bought the masters of his unreleased Bonfire of Teenagers LP from Capitol. He also has the unreleased Without Music the World Dies hanging out in limbo.

And a US release of Beethoven was Deaf coming soon too.

So I've been reading—or trying to read—Morrissey's memoir. Holy shit, it is terrible. It reminds me of what Truman Capote supposedly said about On the Road : This isn't writing, it's typing. It's like an excited kid telling you about their day, just a rush of sentences spoken without a breath. Yes,...

There just might be, if you keep the faith!

Thanks! And 24 minutes is about my attention span nowadays so it's perfect.

Vividly recall the night i saw Wham! doing Young Guns on TotP and wondering wtf is this shit? George Michael was such a good bloke though, so full of integrity, i can't ever get myself to hate on them. I know nothing about GM as a person, not slagging him personally. Yeah no worries, was just makin...

His quieter life will probably stand him in good stead there. Not sure what he's really done in the last 30 years but Morrissey talked about him destroying hotel rooms and Marr said the same in his book but thought it was his way of relieving the pressure of being on tour. It sounded like he was su...

I've been reading 'Among the Thugs' by Bill Buford which is equal parts horrifying, unsettling and funny, and one chapter stood out. It starts with an abbreviated quote from Justice Popplewell's 1986 final report on the deaths at Heysel Stadium when Liverpool played Juventus and 39 supporters died: ...

Who's read Morrissey's Autobiography ? Is it worth my time, even as a hate-read? I love it... every other page had something that made me laugh out loud - usually, it was the bitterness and venom with which he described people (judges, teachers, politicians, royalty etc.) I can see how some don't l...

I just went to CNN's page. It has "live updates." Um, he's dead, and unless Jesus really despises us he isn't coming back.

Wasn't David Irving meant to have died? It was never confirmed and there's nothing on wiki so I get to celebrate that all over again when it does happen.

ahh... Mr Weir from Freaks and Geeks. I always liked him in that.

Yeah - would have taken me forever to get there.

Without looking it up, can you tell who this is?

The title track is my favourite from that album. Just blows me away. The lyrics and style influenced John Rotten. Listen to Harley singing "Destroy" after so wasted line.

That's a great shout - I'd never noticed that before

Yeah, Mr Harley made some great records! Everyone remembers Come Up & See Me of course, but Mr Soft and Judy Teen were catchy and quirky enough to lodge firmly in my childhood memory bank, and sound great to this day. RIP Steve. When I first started getting into music I was going through my Dads al...

I have a friend who would like to register on the forum but it's not working? He seems to be typing in the initials of the group members correctly but it's not working? Is there a bug at the moment? Thanks for your help Could he forward along a screenshot of what he sees? Might be an anti-spam thin...

60/60 - if it was pictures and no name I'd be at about 50 I think.
