    Morrissey A-Z: "The Boy Racer"

    Also notice that the bass is missing from the mix until about 53 seconds in. Moz himself looks very uncomfortable here too - it's always hard for bands to work up their usual stage presence when crammed into a small space in a brightly lit tv studio, and being surrounded by a random bunch of...

    IANADOAC - lyrics discussion thread (now with added lyrics!)

    Boz has got two studios, one in Portugal and one in the UK, where he is involved in making records with various bands and artists, he runs a record shop in London, and writes and and plays as a solo artists as well as with his wife's band. He's not far off 60 himself so perhaps he's not too...

    But isn't that what he actually sings? It sounds like it to me.

    IANADOAC - lyrics discussion thread (now with added lyrics!)

    Interesting to note that Boz doesn't actually play on a couple of tracks (Knockabout World and Love Is On...), while he's listed TWICE for "Acc. guitars" on My Hurling Days... and Jesse has a similar double credit for electic guitars on Darling...!

    IANADOAC - lyrics discussion thread (now with added lyrics!)

    I think it's just a coincidence really - it's quite a simple chord sequence, both songs played at a similar tempo in a jangly guitar style, and Moz and Billy probably have a similar vocal range*, so they ended up with melodies that aren't a million miles away from each other. *I mean the...

    IANADOAC - lyrics discussion thread (now with added lyrics!)

    Am I alone in thinking that "What Kind Of People..." sounds reminiscent of "Sexuality" by Billy Bragg? I was absent mindedly humming the former this afternoon and found myself segueing seemlessly into the latter, like this: What kind of people, Live in these houses? What kind of sad dad...

    IANADOAC - 320 internet leak

    Remember around the time of Kill Uncle when people were calling Mozzer an anachronism and saying he should embrace the (then-)fashinable sound of baggy? Well with Jim Jim Falls he's finally done it!

    SER YT: Morrissey live - Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium, Calgary, October 11 (entire show)

    I love the country-fied version of Why Don't You Find Out For Yourself, it really works nicely.

    Benjamminash/Charlie Rhoad: Trump's notes as if Morrissey sung them (Nov. 21, 2019)

    If the first video was a lost Meat Is Murder b-side then that one's an unfinished Viva Hate demo.

    Rio de Janeiro - video ad posted by liberationmcofficial / Facebook

    For some reason that shot used in the cover still is reversed - you've got a left-handed Boz, stood on Moz's left, Matt playing a left-hand setup kit, and Mando going right-handed on bass!

    Some genius combined AI Morrissey lyrics with Amazon P90X reviews - Noisey

    "The songs I write are repressed love letters to dismal teenage pretending. I hate them." Nailed it.

    Morrissey on Graham Norton tonight - Mando Instagram (Oct. 5, 2017)

    If I remember correctly Graham Norton was a stand-in host on the Jack Docherty Show on Channel 5 at the time. Norton did such a good job that he went on to a long and successful career as a host, while Docherty...well...
