    Both Quarry anniversary events cancelled (January 25, 2024)

    Another low for Moz - it's been a total shitshow the last few years. I'm disappointed these gigs got cancelled because I was intrigued to see what he'd actually do. He's never done an "album tribute" gig before, so the idea he was going to play all of Quarry seemed fanciful. We'll never know...

    Good idea: The Queen is Dead Suedehead Paint a Vulgar Picture Sing Your Life National Front Disco Well I Wonder Southpaw Trouble Loves Me I Will See You in Far Off Places Squeezing My Skull Forgive Someone Back to the Old House Home is a Question Mark Rebels Without Applause It's Over...

    London - Troxy (July 22, 2023) post-show

    I mean if you hadn't seen Morrissey in the past few years it would probably be perfectly acceptable, but frankly most of these songs (even the good ones) are feeling very tiresome when you consider the alternatives he could be playing. It's all very stale despite his and band's fine form

    Liverpool - Empire Theatre (July 18, 2023) post-show

    Just on the train back to Manchester - I'd say Morrissey and the band were on very good form. It felt a much better gig than the last time I saw him in 2022 at the Apollo in Manchester - whole gig fell a bit flat for one reason or another another. The Empire is a lovely theatre and these sort...

    Leeds - Millennium Square (July 12, 2023) post-show

    Paris is dross that's been played to death, Telephone is awful, Notre Dame is conspiracy nonsense. Honestly, we should expect better - I'm not asking for all the "old" favourites even, but how much better would even this run of songs be: Once I Saw the River Clean, Forgive Someone, Rebels...

    Leeds - Millennium Square (July 12, 2023) post-show

    This run in the middle is a tough old slog and I like I Wish You Lonely! Paris Notre Dame I Wish You Lonely Sure Enough; The Telephone Rings The Night Pop Dropped

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

    Hard to believe that when Low in High School came out Morrissey was releasing a selection of cohesive 7" singles, pop shops in Camden, a special show on 6 Music at Maida Vale and an appearance on Jools Holland. It maybe not have been his finest album, but christ how far he has fallen since then!

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

    Think that's what's so depressing, surely somebody around Moz has enough balls and sense to call this dreck out? Maybe that's why Alain got out quick...

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

    My thoughts exactly - I think Morrissey has copped a lot of undue flack in the media over the past few years, but this indulgence in cranky conspiracy nonsense is the absolute low point in his career. I thought the tedious lyrical obsession with free speech and being silenced was bad enough...

    Stephen Street Twitter post about Viva Hate era cassette (July 13, 2022)

    Agreed - it's a really catchy little tune! It's not hugely profound, but I enjoy it in the same way I like Ask.

    Morrissey Central "Presale UK Tickets." (June 20, 2022)

    Managed to get some in the Top Circle after losing some in the Stalls and the Royal Circle. A bit of a poor clunky website, but at least I'm in!

    Johnny Marr responds to Morrissey's open letter via Twitter (January 26, 2022)

    The fact Haslam regularly draws on Moz stories and anecdotes for his own career would suggest there's no great secret to be revealed. He'd look just as bad by association. Beyond the obvious worst case scenario news, I'm not sure anything about Moz would be surprising or news. He's often petty...

    Johnny Marr responds to Morrissey's open letter via Twitter (January 26, 2022)

    My thoughts exactly - but if its that awful, particularly in this climate, then you'd surely want it out in the open to 'cancel' Moz for good. If Haslam/Marr know something then why would they ignore it? Marr even threated a reunion with that 2008 pub meet-up - seems highly unlikely he'd want to...

    Johnny Marr responds to Morrissey's open letter via Twitter (January 26, 2022)

    I'm not sure Marr is that arsed about Morrissey, clearly he's bored as anyone at being asked about him and The Smiths. I don't think its any great revelation that Moz is an awkward sod who bears grudges and falls out with people, clearly him and Marr have nothing in common these days. If Marr...
