"Morrissey will become a talent scout for the Attack label"
How did this work out?
Trojan records were great and all, but they did represent the era and the strategy of trying their damndest to appeal to international/white audiences, and my suspicions it's the conscious reggae that came after that Morrissey wrinkles his nose at.

The piece is also reprinted in Freaky Trigger, with more comments including someone finding the pop questionnaire with 'reggae is vile' - there's a link down the bottom of the Patreon link.

When you're in a hole, stop digging. Or if you're Morrissey, you give another bigoted interview supporting Anne Marie Waters.
I mean, look at the shocking treatment of Tommy Robinson...

My previous album World Peace Is None of Your Business was dropped after ten days of release because it was thought too political.

I can't eat anything that has any flavour. I've never had a curry, or coffee, or garlic.
This explains so much.

I've always found food to be very difficult because I only eat bread, potatoes, pasta and nuts... all stodge. I can't eat anything that has any flavour. I've never had a curry, or coffee, or garlic.
i feel like this explains a lot somehow

Yes! I love to travel now, and I feel very excited to be in Turkey, Poland, Finland, Israel, and so on. Whether they actually want me there is entirely another matter.
yeah, it must feel awful to be in another country and know that people don't want you there, right
― aloha darkness my old friend (katherine), Wednesday, 6 June 2018 11:56 (five years ago) link
What the fuck is wrong with him? That curry/garlic/coffee claim is so weird and not even accurate.
At the outset, Morrissey is drinking a cup of coffee, and during our discussion he occasionally elides his way out of anything remotely resembling an impasse by alluding to these eatables: 'This is such great coffee,' he pronounces at one point, and when I ask him what's on his mind he replies: 'This KitKat.'
He clearly doesn’t have anyone in his life who cares about him.

Morrissey has cancelled all of his UK & European shows in July - including two homecoming gigs at Manchester's Castlefield Bowl. Promoter says its due to "logistical circumstances beyond our control". Low ticket sales are thought to have played a part in this decision. pic.twitter.com/Gxc74HsmY9— Dave Haslam (@Mr_Dave_Haslam) June 29, 2018

OTM. Worst thing I've heard in years was Morrisey's horrible live cover of the NY Dolls "Human Being". Morrisey casts himself as the outcast when he's naturally the bully, and it seemed like the band had no idea how the song goes.
― everything, Thursday, 6 December 2018 19:11 (five years ago) link
his band is basically boz and a bunch of LA session dudes

oh I'm totally forgetting he changed his band ten years ago. thinking of the alain white, you are the quarry era band and how leaden they were

like really prosaic pop-punk played slowly with a crooner on top
Last time I saw anyone directly Moz-associated (other than Mr. Marr earlier this year, natch) was Alain Whyte's band in the mid-2000s -- nice performance and did a very good version of what was probably Morrissey's last great B-side, "The Edges Are No Longer Parallel."
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 6 December 2018 19:19 (five years ago) link
Boz got demoted from bandleader to session dude shortlyish after Jesse Tobias came on board aiui
just looked up the current band and the bassist was previously in the long-running '00s Breeders lineup
― sans lep (sic), Thursday, 6 December 2018 20:23 (five years ago) link
The band's got better, but Moz is worse (apart from being a fascist I mean - he's got better at that). His singing is strong but unbearably hammy nowadays. You see this list of songs and you can hear them coming out of that mouth already. Not appealing to me.
