Guess: The chart position that the new Morrissey album "Low in High School" debuts at.

TS: Precious vegetarian fascist twats you can't fucking stand: Oswald Mosley vs Hitler vs Rustle fucking Brands vs Morrissey vs Stafford Cripps (token communist vegetarian, who liked to eat them raw - died in his 60's btw!)

Gonna have to start FP'ing the ILX baldists. NAGL shaming folk for a genetically inhairited part of their ageing process.

You missed Charles Manson from that list.

#5

ha

lol!

Get in!

A (Spanish) guy I know on Facebook is a Morrissey fan :( so I've been reading comments from Moz fans over the last few days concerning his Kevin Spacey comments: these people are completely insane, it's like they're in a cult or something.

Yeah, he seems to be quite good at inspiring that sort of thing in people.

,Five!

I mean, I understand Paloma Faith might show him a clean pair of heels, but.

Well, he's beat Taylor, Sheeran and Orbison.

Just that Sam, BallBoe and Tokey...

That is truly glorious. I'm pretty sure he expected it to go at least Top 2. Although not surprising given I imagine the midweeks were before people knew about the Spacey comments? It's his second lowest-peaking solo album as well.

Studio album, I should say.

Wow so people in the UK truly love him huh? Even 5 seems yo high for me and the fact that it’s his lowest scoring so far... had no idea he still had that many fans of his solo work.

As much as I want to join in celebrating the well deserved failure of this album, the sales were 25,728 which is an improvement over his last album which sold 18,762 in the first week. It's a depressing thought that he's gained any kind of popularity in the last three years. I'm sure he'll just see the chart position and release that angry statement before quitting the label before the end of the month.

The most amusing part is that he went in at number five, that's just three places higher than Shed Seven managed the previous week. Weird times.

Wow so people in the UK truly love him huh?

25,728 people do.

probably got a bunch of EDL lads buying it just on principle

Disappointing Iron Maiden performance amid all of that. If they'd beaten him I'd have pissed myself laughing.

I saw that the Shed Seven album dropped from 8 to 100

Shed Seven album's sold slightly more in two weeks than their last one sold in 16 years. The new one's only sold about 15,000, mind.

The fact that there was any demand whatsoever for a new Shed Seven album is a stain on this great nation.

i have at least a couple of friends who still love that band *shrug emoji*

I have a cousin who is in a wedding band who described them as "Yorkshire's finest: The brilliant Shed 7" recently. Fucking seriously man!

i saw the S7 album in the racks this week and did a double take.
expected it to be a self released/low budget thing, but no .. major label release.

Aw yeaaaaah:

really hoped that was going to be a Tweet about Shed 7

what's the verdict on morrissey according to ilx? is he racist or not?

http://www.nme.com/news/music/morrissey-kill-vermin-trump-2163033

come on ilx get yr act together

Yes, he's a racist.

I dunno man, is that "the ilx verdict"? We are an effete liberal monoculture after all

That's the DJP verdict, which is one I've held for close to 30 years now.

It's basically a no-brainer

As someone who has just had a large breakfast of sausages and bacon I don’t have any skin in this game but the myth that Hitler was a veggie was debunked years ago I think. Goebbels looked at charismatic firebrands such as Gandhi and Lenin and realized that he should present Adolf as an ascetic radical with so much dedication to the cause that he didn’t have time for wine and women and was too militant for tobacco and meat. Barely any of it was true, although he didn’t smoke. Interestingly, I think, you could argue that Morrissey has constructed a similar image for himself over the years. While I don’t doubt his dedication to vegetarianism, he’s always liked to cultivate this image of someone who shies away from life’s sensual pleasures. Anyone who has met him tends to paint the portrait of someone who is, ah, quite thirsty and perhaps the words ‘Ceylon tea’ could have been replaced by 13 pints of Stella in his most recent interview. See also his historical celibacy. I don’t care about this image making at all... just his dyspeptic bigotry. Just add him to the long list of retirement age musicians who are too stupid to realise that they have long since won their battles and no longer thrive in any useful way from their insistence on courting controversy. And at least John Lydon has the common sense to restrict himself to politics.

Apropos of nothing, I wouldn't describe Lenin as a charismatic firebrand, that sounds more like Trotsky, but I imagine Goebbels baulked at presenting Hitler as Jewish.

Totally fair point re: Trotsky. I guess the plan wasn't exactly presenting him as anything, just subtly sowing an idea of him in the public consciousness. Either way - the Hitler was a veggie thing, kind of boils my goat every time I hear it.

I agree that he's fundamentally thick as pigshit and the most generous view you can take is to allow for this fact - idk about how "committed" he is to the animal rights cause, I suppose as much as any other interminable PETA gobshite who can't even be arsed to go vegan

xxp
his latest biographer Volker Ullrich didn't debunk his vegetarianism in his gigantic first volume of Hitler: Ascent, maybe saving Baconrossa for vol2.

there were a lot of esoteric and ascetic ideas floating around Nazism, if Goebbels made up some of Hitler's quirks from whole cloth I've never seen later historians refute them

the Ullrich book is allegedly the most rigorous + painstakingly researched study yet, but he admits the limitations of going through an archive with gaping gaps where huge parts of it were reduced to dust, but at least Morrissey's risible vanity novel still exists!

a brief google tells me that the evidence on Hitler's diet is mixed but Morrissey is definitely a racist

idk about how "committed" he is to the animal rights cause, I suppose as much as any other interminable PETA gobshite who can't even be arsed to go vegan

4 real. re-title your album 'cheese is murder' or stfu imo

he has Irish cheddar on his rider. he is pre-vegan veggoe for life

Ullrich suggests that Hitler's vegetarian diet was linked to his "pathological mix of fear of mortality and messianic conviction". He was more shit-scared of getting cancer than getting assassinated and was convinced he wouldn't get to 50, to do his important work. But I am sure at the odd BBQ he said "fuck it".

Irish Cheddar, English Heart Disease

irish cheddar seems like something he'd be culturally (rather than politically) opposed to

he's a Galtee dude

an expect-a-wexford mystery xp

"Irish Cheddar on the Rider" should be the title of his next album

holy shit this album suuuuuuuuucks aaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

lol you listened to the album

i also listened to every eagles track in sequence for a few months i have problems
