Dear Morrissey . . .

xp yes and lol

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

You’d need a heart of stone not to laugh.

let me confirm that not even then

Moz obv hates europeans

He loves the americas except canada

Maurice E is bad and he shd feel bad

Oh no.

It will probably be loads better than the songs he writes himself nowadays.

will still have whatever inept hack musicians he usually has backing him i guess

c'mon, they're totally ept hack musicians

some animal part of me wants to hear his "Some Say I've Got Devil" cover

it's over is my favourite roy orbison song and mildly, grimly curious to hear the animal-loving, white nationalist crooner tackle it

Yes, and did poor old Phil Ochs suffer and die only to have his songs sung by a fascist cretin?

Well, I ain't marching anymore.

The Pretenders song was pretty much a karaoke performance, but a really good karaoke performance tbf

I think I'd actually quite like to hear him do "It's Over".

not sure he has those high notes in him tbh

he's been using autotune a shitload on his recent stuff

c'mon, they're totally ept hack musicians

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.

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."

his band is basically boz and a bunch of LA session dudes

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.

Kind of shat it from some of the harder notes

Is it as good as the Michael Caine version?

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.

what a piece of shit

Dear Morrissey.

Is there any particular reason why you don't sod off?

https://www.morrisseycentral.com/messagesfrommorrissey/234417-the-interview

Interviewed by his nephew, he uses the word 'vinyls'

damn he's definitely cancelled now

oh racist uncle steven, what are you like?

racism's quite a drug, steven

https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/morrissey-protesters-portland-oregon/

kind of relieved that the link doesn't work for me

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

#cancelledtrident

Morrissey is selling classic albums from other artists signed by him on his tour for £300 and it’s the funniest /lamest thing I’ve ever seen.

I’ll be selling signed copies of An Audience with Billy Connelly and Eddie Murphy Raw at Glasgow Comedy Fest . pic.twitter.com/9uPgtyRf0V

Wonder if he could do me a Fear of a Black Planet

https://frinkiac.com/img/S07E21/1091139.jpg

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

yeah it's pretty bizarre
