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."

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

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.

it's over is my favourite roy orbison song and mildly, grimly curious to hear the animal-loving, white nationalist crooner tackle it― ( ͡☉ ͜ʖ ͡☉) (jim in vancouver), Wednesday, December 5, 2018 6:22 PM (two months ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

on his last few records, his voice is being electronically treated somehow in a way i find disconcerting.

Yeah this does sound autotuned or whatnot

it's one of those things that drives me crazy when other people don't notice it. they're like, "no, his voice sounds fine" when it's obviously (to me) being manipulated in little ways that play with the grain of it. same w/ some of those late merle haggard records -- almost nobody else (that i can find) seems to recognize how much his voice was being treated.

About as worthwhile as his recent version of I Never Promised You A Rose Garden.

Really can't stand his voice nowadays.

i kind of liked this. not enough to buy this album but it was better than I expected it to be. I still like to pretend he died right after Vauxhall and I.

The protesters had two signs, one which said: “Bigmouth Indeed” and the other which seemed to have some sort of ‘cancelled’ trident, both one would imagine meant for protesting against Moz’s recent spate of far-right rhetoric which has seen him divide his fans while supporting political party For Britain.
pity the article was written by absolute morons. one would imagine that, yes, since the trident is the symbol of For Britain you morons

I know his racism is obviously the biggest thing wrong with him, but that his taste calcified when he was 16 and he still runs around big-upping the same artists he loved when he was a kid is so irksome -- his conservative ideology pervades his aesthetics

the funniest thing about that is that it's $100 more albums by better artists signed by him (his own albums are only $200).
