Dear Morrissey . . .

enbb - thanks for clarifying; i was never a smiths completist, limiting myself to studio lps, etc., so i'd never heard that one before.
&
'i just wanted to make brown rice and peppers, but you can't do that in the house of rules!' was pretty good, i thought.

cad - i actually prefer the house of blues to the avalon, insofar as they have moved the soundboard from near the back entrance, which was a major obstruction for walking and watching the show.

but shows still end early there, i was outside by 10:30. i always thought that the avalon used to do this so that they could reopen for dancing; i don't know why hob does this. though i can't complain too much, it being a sunday night and all ...

stop being so offensively vegetarian awready, you fucking tool.

At least he came back on. I'm surprised Macca has never done this given his riders.

Along with a selection of solo hits, the crowd were treated to blasts from the past

subs please check

"meat fumes"

"blast from the pasts?" shurely not!

What a toolkit. And I say this as somebody who still considers herself a Morrissey stan.

xpost: unlike his solo hits, which are from the current year of 1988

im sayin

At least he showed up for this, unlike the following night's tour-closer in Oakland, cancelled due to illness.

oh right but he's had solo hits (in the uk at least) well into the 00s.

Having thought about this for a while I have to say that the smell of burnt fat is pretty muich what keeps me out of most fast food establishments. It can be pretty gross.

But also "You've been paid you big jessie now get out there and play."...

Bringing home the bacon, aiw.

Dear Morrissey,

I still love you but please stop being a twat.

Love,

Erica

i was there and i wasn't offended at all -- it's morrissey for chrissake, what do you expect?

anyway he was only offstage for like two minutes, it was hardly inconveniencing the crowd or anything.

oh right but he's had solo hits (in the uk at least) well into the 00s.

in at #17, dropping to #43 week 2 and disappearing after that isn't a "hit" tho

QUEEN

(NOT A COMPLIMENT IN MY BOOK)

During Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others? So the ending when the band just play and there's no singing? I doubt I would have even noticed.

This might also explain why some reviews haven't even mentioned it.

Morrissey has collapsed on stage during a performance in Swindon.

The 50-year-old former Smith's singer was taken to hospital after suffering breathing difficulties while performing at the Oasis Leisure Centre.

A spokeswoman for the Great Western Ambulance Service said: "Just after 9pm we got a call to a 50-year-old who was reported to be... unconscious."

A spokesman for Swindon's Great Western Hospital said: "Morrissey was brought in to the Accident and Emergency department this evening.

"He has been seen by the medical team.

"At this stage his condition is stable."

Eyewitnesses reported seeing the singer fall to the floor during a performance of his song This Charming Man.

Two band members rushed to his side and dragged him off stage.

Chronic ennui... lets try and find a cure!

This is why no-one should ever EVER go to Swindon.

Dear Morrissey,

I hope you don't die but if you do I'm glad we've shared the moments that we have.

Yours,

Erica

I concur with this but am somewhat conflicted due to the emotions evoked by the effect that the clocks going back has on the ilx timestamp.

Dear Morrissey,

I am too angry with you for playing in the crap town I used to live in *after I left it* to feel any sympathy.

Yours cordially

i hope he is OK.

He's been discharged - "feeling much better".

RIP Morrissey! :(

From the album cover I think it must have been constipation.

I love the long pause in there...

Am wondering whether Anne Gina will do the cover art for the next LP.

Is that seriously the new Morrisey album cover? Looks like it was done with Photoshop in 15 minutes.

Just about every album cover these days does.

Looks like he has one of the swords stuck up his bum.

"He has been seen by the medical team.

Why do I keep picturing all the people coming to gawk at him and then cackle 'n' point?

You know that thread where people pick a photo off flickr, a random page title off Wiki, etc?

Those.

That was an xpost.

He has been seen by the medical team

.. is a third line from a missing verse of....

Yeah, but it looks like just some random, badly framed snapshot of the guy with simple text on it. IIRC the previous albums at least put some effort to the set-up of the photo and the typography.

You know that thread where people pick a photo off flickr, a random page title off Wiki, etc?

haha Like that Facebook game? Yeah. Reminded me of that game as well. Still, I do like the style. Just not the facial expression.

(xx-post)

Yeah, didn't we have some thread where we took random photos and random wiki quotes and made them into album covers? That cover looks like it came from that thread.

It's only some b-sides compilation. Not reknowned for their huge budgets, those.

What the hell is wrong with people?

November pwned a Mozzer

Seems like it was a plastic cup, not a bottle -- otherwise he wouldn't have kept singing for a moment after it hit him. But can you blame him for realizing what just happened and walking right the fuck off stage? I'd have done the same thing.
