    Johnny Marr plays Smiths songs with orchestra in Manchester (December 7-8, 2023)

    Saw this on Instagram, very touching.

    Johnny Marr plays Smiths songs with orchestra in Manchester (December 7-8, 2023)

    Exactly. Yet such is the general ludicrousness that Central - a site where posters in toilets, radio snippets in soaps, airplay on Strictly Come Dancing and random nobodies wearing merchandise are all considered to be hot 'relevant news' - now has to ignore this very relevant news because it's...

    Johnny Marr plays Smiths songs with orchestra in Manchester (December 7-8, 2023)

    I'm torn between thinking it's interesting and I'd probably have a great time if I was there, and thinking the whole set-up and situation is stupid. I welcome anything that celebrates The Smiths or brings them to a new audience but really, Morrissey and Marr should be looking back on their...

    Poll: Being a fan

    It's no more of a gimmick than the Classically Smiths project would have been, or Rick Astley doing Smiths karaoke, or licensing Smiths songs for films and adverts - and Johnny surely has more right than most to do what he wants with his own songs. Everything to do with 'legacy' artists is...

    Poll: Being a fan

    It's bizarre to romanticise reclusiveness and meanness as artistic virtues. He's ruined so many opportunities by antagonising practically every person he meets and to think he's somehow superior for doing that, or better off than people who are "glad-handing" ... it makes no sense. It's like you...

    Morrissey Central Updated chart history (December 3, 2023)

    This post that has a strange finality to it, like he's correcting the record for posterity. Listing only the UK and US chart positions gives the impression that he isn't much fussed about anywhere else and I'm not sure that's the message to send out in the middle of a tour, but hey.

    Bengali in Platforms without the fringe

    He has described his family background and upbringing as "absurdly" Catholic until a certain point in time where they experienced a tragedy / untimely death and turned away from the church. That kind of upbringing stays with a person even if they don't believe and shame, guilt, confession etc...

    Bengali in Platforms without the fringe

    This. He was trying to 'normalise' people being whatever they were, whether through embracing their LGBT identity or just being a straight boy who loved Motown and makeup. When he said labels were confusing and made people feel bad about themselves, he was including himself in that. And it makes...

    And when you want to live How do you start Where do you go? Who do you need to know?

    Sending love to Morrissey from us all here

    Even though he's frustrating, I will always feel for Moz to some degree because he seems so chronically and changelessly unhappy, especially in the past five years. Every new PR mess / embarrassment / 'incident' he gets embroiled in damages him and is just another reminder that fame and money...

    Boy George Autobiography: "Karma" - Morrissey mentions (November 9, 2023)

    That is some really, really bad writing.

    Morrissey Central "HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, DARLING" (November 7, 2023)

    Just shows how entitled and ridiculous he can be, really. As if anyone can demand five -star reviews, for God's sake. Embarrassing.

    Morrissey Central "HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, DARLING" (November 7, 2023)

    This stuff is fundamentally why Morrissey always sounds frustrated and basically incapable of happiness - nothing is ever, ever enough for him. He can have an album which sells over a million and is a phenomenal success, spawns hit singles and massive concerts, rave reviews etc and he's still...

    Having a swipe at a different record label, just for a change? Christ.

    Johnny Marr turns 60 in a few hours' time...

    Sounds like an unhinged loon, nothing interesting there.

    Ticketmaster.sg: Singapore cancelled 'due to technical issues and reasons beyond our control'

    It would take 10 seconds for M to write a quick personal message to the fans. It’s basic manners ... he does not help himself.

    The Standard: Rick Astley on Morrissey, getting Rick-Rolled, and his biggest hit (November 2, 2023)

    God, he did not choose his words well there.

    Ged Duffy (Stockholm Monsters) on meeting Morrissey in 1980

    I didn't say they were wrong. By M's own admission he was difficult, awkward, a social 'casualty' that only his mother had time for, etc. Paul Morley called him 'the village idiot'. Even so, his peers could acknowledge his eventual success with a bit of grace, instead of rehashing these stories...

    Ged Duffy (Stockholm Monsters) on meeting Morrissey in 1980

    It feels like every Factory also-ran has this kind of attitude towards Moz. Bitter that an awkward, introverted 'nobody' formed the Smiths and eclipsed them 🎸

    Fox5NY: Morrissey, Exclusive Performance & Interview (October 20, 2023)

    I feel weirdly flat after watching that. I just can't summon up any enthusiasm - the song isn't great, no particular interest in the new band, Moz has aged really visibly and talks like he's just treading water because he's done everything he wanted to do and met all his heroes. I used to feel...
