    The Telegraph: "Stephen Street on falling out with Morrissey, the Britpop wars and getting Pete Doherty to behave" (December 15, 2020)

    "But sometimes the darkness can descend and everything closes down, so you have to read the signals." Street sounds like he's blessed with a high level of emotional intelligence, I'm glad he's done so well for himself.

    Stephen Street on Morrissey (Mojo 327, February 2021)

    Great interview, thanks for sharing that. And further insight into the absolute mayhem and torment of Morrissey's mind. But that's where his art comes from - I wouldn't want it any other way.

    Morrissey goes to the dentist

    (a) nice anecdote (b) he probably told the dentist that he wants his teeth to be MORE WHITE, LIKE ENGLAND USED TO BE, etc. etc (c) I'll get my coat

    Tyler The Creator's fashion brand has a "Pen is mightier than the sword" t-shirt (Winter 2020)

    Oh, Peter.

    Book: "Save Us Morrissey" - due Christmas by Jared Morris & Brian Clymer (October 14, 2020)

    This is very helpful, thank you!

    NME: "Does Rock ‘N’ Roll Kill Braincells?! - Boy George" - Morrissey mentions (November 20, 2020)

    Never been overly bothered by his music but he's such a brilliant character. (His episode on Louis Theroux's lockdown podcast series was amazing. He's just so...blunt.)

    Morrissey Central "LOVE IS ON ITS WAY BACK" (November 18, 2020)

    Exactly. It would actually work perfectly for him given the size and dedication of the fanbase globally (even though it's smaller than it used to be) - but it would seem to be completely against everything he believes about how the industry should work / serve him and his art.

    Morrissey Central "LOVE IS ON ITS WAY BACK" (November 18, 2020)

    I dunno, I think Greg James is the best Breakfast Show DJ I've ever heard. (And I go all the way back to Noel Edmonds and DLT!)

    Morrissey Central "LOVE IS ON ITS WAY BACK" (November 18, 2020)

    You're right, we are living through unbelievably stupid times. The fact that some Radio 1 listeners (although nobody knows how many) lack the critical thinking skills to ascertain that the "offensive" language in F-Tale of NY is being used by *characters* and is not actually an endorsement of...

    Fiona Dodwell: "Morrissey reflects on 'the horror of 2020' after departure from BMG" (November 17, 2020)

    Well, let's agree to disagree on that front. I must have heard "Alma Matters" dozens of times and I'm not sure I've ever stayed awake to the end.

    Fiona Dodwell: "Morrissey reflects on 'the horror of 2020' after departure from BMG" (November 17, 2020)

    Surely the point is that those *could* have been top 20 singles, back in the day, before M had sabotaged his media profile with his views and before the industry had moved on in terms of how streaming impacts the singles chart. I mean, there are several songs on Dog that are much, much stronger...

    Book: "Save Us Morrissey" - due Christmas by Jared Morris & Brian Clymer (October 14, 2020)

    I love how when you look at this book on Amazon UK, one of the "related titles" is called Grandpa Mudcake and the Kitchen Calamity. I may always think of Morrissey as "Grandpa Mudcake" from now on.

    Jean Dawson: "I want it to feel like Manchester and Compton had a baby. I want it to be like if Morrissey was black" - DIY

    Listening to the album this afternoon, I quite like it! (Mainly "Triple Double" and "Bruiseboy")

    Bradford Interview with some Moz content

    You really are a charmer, aren't you?

    Book: "Save Us Morrissey" - due Christmas by Jared Morris & Brian Clymer (October 14, 2020)

    This feels like one of those projects that would be better suited to being a website of entries rather than an actual book... But hey, content is content, good luck to the guy.

    The Telegraph: "Nik Kershaw interview: ‘The Smiths hated me – we had stare-offs on Top of the Pops’" (October 15, 2020)

    Aww, bless him, glad he's doing OK. But yes, the Smiths were way, way cooler.

    The Guardian: "Matt Berninger webchat: your questions answered on Morrissey, Taylor Swift and infinite creativity" (October 13, 2020)

    This is all armchair psychology bollocks of course - much like what nearly all of us do on this site! - but this line from Berninger: "I feel like Morrissey became very frustrated because he wanted the world to be a very specific way" ...feels accurate, somehow. And (for me) that's a big part...

    New Smiths documentary on DirectTV?

    It's embarrassing how every single word from that South Bank Show is etched into my brain. God knows how many times I must have watched it!!

    Radio 2 Best Albums of the 1980's list (October 9, 2020)

    I kind of enjoy lists like this! What jumps out at me here is that most of these albums stayed in the Top 10 for weeks and weeks and weeks, while the Stone Roses (0 weeks) and the Smiths (2 weeks) didn't. And yet, 30-plus years later, they're being remembered the great British public.

    Tim's Twitter Listening Party - "Strangeways, Here We Come" with Stephen Street (Sep. 28, 2020)

    This feels like a terrible thing to say, but I've always felt this record has a handful of the very best (like, absolute gobsmacking genius) Smiths songs and also a few of the worst...
