    Morrissey Central "STEVE WRIGHT, RIP" (February 13, 2024)

    The lunatic Steve Wright in the Afternoon was radio at its best – no matter what Morrissey thought The late DJ’s taboo-busting show was the radio equivalent of a whoopee cushion, and made millions laugh on a daily basis. But not The Smiths Not everyone was so enamoured – but then Wright never...

    Morrissey Central "YOU KNOW I COULDN’T LAST" (July 26, 2023)

    Sinéad O’Connor deserved better than the music industry - Julie Burchill 'Morrissey summed it up well, as he does all sad things from thwarted love to terrorist massacres: ...Morrissey being Morrissey, there’s a lot of purple puff in the missive (‘Who cared enough to save Judy Garland...

    "Don't argue amongst yourselves Because of the loss of me I'm sitting amongst yourselves Don't think you can't see me Don't argue amongst yourselves Because of the loss of me I haven't gone anywhere But out of my body Reach out and you'll touch me Make effort to speak to me Call out...

    Binyamina-Giv'at Ada - Zappa Amphi Shuni (July 2, 2023) post-show

    Before deciding to release 'Notre Dame', what possible reputational and legal consequences might a record company consider? What possible 'morbid sequelae' might result from radio stations and streaming platforms amplifying the conspiratorial mindset evidenced by these lyrics, allowing...

    NME: "Rick Astley tells us about his Glastonbury secret set of Smiths covers with Blossoms" (June 24, 2023)

    Rick Astley Is Out Here Purging the Evil Spirit of Morrisey It’s genuinely heartwarming to see, then, that the subject of one of the most significant memes of all time has managed to not only embrace it but to use it to turbocharge his career and to use that platform to cast powerful spells to...

    NME: "Rick Astley tells us about his Glastonbury secret set of Smiths covers with Blossoms" (June 24, 2023)

    'Rick Astley – is performing a set of songs by the Smiths accompanied by indie band Blossoms. The response is immediate euphoria, a mass singalong of such volume that it threatens to drown Astley out entirely, a sense that he’s not playing a gig so much as performing a public service in...

    NME: "Rick Astley tells us about his Glastonbury secret set of Smiths covers with Blossoms" (June 24, 2023)

    Fresh and exciting for whom? Himself and his hardcore fans? That's fine but then he can't expect to be given the press coverage he craves, because there's been negligible interest in his new music from the general public for the past two decades since 'You Are The Quarry'. It's also one of the...

    NME: "Rick Astley tells us about his Glastonbury secret set of Smiths covers with Blossoms" (June 24, 2023)

    The only reason? Is she saying that The Smiths would've been just as successful if the records only contained Morrissey's acapella vocals as poetry readings? Seriously? 😆 Or is she claiming Morrissey wrote the bass-lines, guitar parts and drum patterns? Or that the only reason people still...

    I didn't ask you to read it. I didn't ask you for advice on my writing style. And I'm not interested in your grading of my posts. You do realise it's possible to ignore stuff on the Internet without telling everyone you have ignored it? 😆 🤣 😂 Off topic.

    NME: "Rick Astley tells us about his Glastonbury secret set of Smiths covers with Blossoms" (June 24, 2023)

    The irony of this! Rick Astley suing this guy... because he got another singer to vocally impersonate Rick Astley... after Rick Astley refused him permission to sample the 'real' Rick Astley 🤣 This ties in with all I've been saying about AI-generated pseudo-vocals and visuals in this thread. I...

    NME: "Rick Astley tells us about his Glastonbury secret set of Smiths covers with Blossoms" (June 24, 2023)

    From 'The Daily Telegraph' 'Rick Astley dished up indie karaoke James Hall gives his full verdict on Rick Astley and Blossoms. “This set was essentially indie karaoke on a massive scale. I reckon that crowd was about 8,000 strong, maybe more. Astley was entertaining, and made a good fist of...
