There were also studio rehearsals of their first album.

Do you mean that mimed version of Sudden Impact from Mick's basement or something else?

My biggest gripe is with washing machines. They've packed them with so many sensors, interlocks etc that they take too damn long, they malfunction too easily.

Yep... last washing machine I bought cost $600. Needs a new control board which comes in at $200 :/

Is this not AI?

Not saying you're wrong, but what gives you that impression?

So they have matching outfits?

Yeah, it's something Morrissey did for a while. All the band members wore matching outfits or at least matching t-shirts with a message. I don't think he does it anymore since Carmen Vandenberg and Camila Grey joined the band.

Sure, but he's fine with assholes like Farage who are sympathetic to Trump. So what makes him a scourge can't be ideological.

Possibly.
Farage is a one-issue fecker though (isn't he?) while Trump ticks every possible box on the pendejo bingo card.

Are those his bodyguards?

The one on the right is Jesse Tobias, the guitarist for about 20 years now... the other, I think is bassist Mando Lopez.

I suspect Morrissey's opposition to Trump is more aesthetic than anything else, that Trump is vulgar and unfeeling. The full quote is: Interviewer: If there was a button here and if you pressed on it, Trump would die dead – would you push it or not? Morrissey: I would, for the safety of the human r...

Smiths frontman Morrissey has not commented on Trump's use of the song. I guess this is a journalist implying that Morrissey is not against it when in an interview he said that if there was a button to kill Trump he would press it. https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/static/uploads/1/2017/11/Morrissey-22I...

Absolutely love their reggae version of Beyond the Pale. Really suits the song.

I'm loving this

I get that he wants attention, but I think his love of the adoration he only gets on stage is stronger. If it was just attention-seeking he could play the show, say something 'controversial' and get the same number of column inches. Since he's self-financing all the tours, cancelling must cost him a...

edit: Also, more of Morrissey doing Morrissey things: https://qthemusic.com/p/stop-me-if-you-think-youve-heard-this-one-before-morrissey-canceling-shows-again-california/ His management, who have rushed to cak-handed responses before, said the reason was 'exhaustion' which makes no sense. Nothing a...

"Brand New Key" was a song I nominated for "Worst Song Ever" on an old chatsite I was on in the early 2000's and it won me the contest. While I didn't "dislike" Melanie that song just sucked so bad to my ears and sense of music. May she rest in peace, and may her song be buried/cremated with her. N...

Neil Kulkarni - writer at Melody Maker when it was good. Only 51.

I think that article is conflating two encounters at RT but it's very confusing. JM wrote about just showing up with Andy Rourke and waiting for Geoff Travis at a warehouse after being given the brush off my the RT staff. Morrissey seems to be referring to the first scheduled meeting after Travis h...
