Was/Is Morrissey Racist?

Don’t know whether to laugh or cry at all that, so I’ll just laugh at his misfortune.

My three albums with BMG have been the best of my career

laugh at this. it's genuinely hilarious.

Oh yeah those three albums, what are they called again? Just For Having an Opinion, SilencedandAn Exile in My Own Land, right?

I'm not sure if the most appropriate reaction to this is "lol" or "fucking lol"

Just for being English, these days

massive fucking lol

if every label you sign to is an asshole, then maybe you are the asshole.

I think stirmonster may be onto something

#1 Scotland, #3 Britain

LOL, what a fucking idiot.

‘You have given me no choice but to tattoo this giant swastika across my face.’ – Morrissey in a few weeks, probably.

#1 Scotland

Scotland's shame!

lol of course it's gonna be cancel culture that caused it

moz strikes me as the type of guy who absolutely spends a shitload of money wasting time in the studio like it was still 95

Any time Morrissey spends in a studio is waste - of time, money, resources, good will, oxygen etc.

superfluous "in a studio" there

haha yeah i just meant budget-wise he strikes me as a guy that doesn't curtain his plans to reflect sales that are not what they once were so i'm sure BMG is just sick of dumping money into it, but he'll play the "woke culture" joan of arc now

He's bitched before, when between labels, about prospective deals not offering salaries for his band members, and therefore he must spurn their offers until Someone Serious About Music finally Does What's Right.

Years and years ago my sister threatened to get a Morrissey tattoo, and I remember suggesting to her that it would probably be a really, really bad idea.

I'd love to know which American chart he was number 2 in.

piscesx otm, I'm curious too. wiki says it only hit #44 on the independent album chart.

XP Barnes & Noble Heatseekers

Was it this one:

(I know it’s not an American chart, please let me have this)

talk about a heatseeker debut

Seriously Hot Shit

He's also somehow managed to invent an album chart for Scotland, separate from the rest of the UK, to be No. 1 in.

loooool djp

xp. it's possible that they collect that data somewhere though?

No. 1 in the Bristol stool chart and I believe also No. 1 in the Stormfront hot 20.

Scotland does have it's own album chart but i am sceptical he got to No. 1.

Sydney Devine and Fran & Anna kept him off the top spot.

couldn't find the historical data for the scottish chart, but this is the full uk chart history for his last album:

https://i.ibb.co/gSzKVbq/dog.jpg

i.e. 1 week in the top 100

"But officer, you don't understand! 'Morrissey I Am Not A Dog On A Chain Peaking At Number 3 For One Week Only' is the name of my dog!"

xp. if you believe the fake news media, nick

It would seem he was correct and has actually had multiple no. 1s in Scotland.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_Singles_and_Albums_Charts

BRUTAL!

release actually coincides with the uk going into full lockdown, the governement didn't actually want you to hear this new record xp

why doesn’t this piece of shit just release his garbage himself, is it because he’s so in love with the 50s or some shit

that would require work

also would oblige him to pay his musicians the salary he insists that they deserve, and would leave him with many fewer scapegoats to write aggrieved posts about having betrayed him and let him down, when the records fail to sell 1,000,000 copies, and nobody to flounce away from.

he would totally be financially better off selling his ill-thought mini-essays (and demos) on Patreon, Am4nda P4lmer style, than trying to get newspaper and radio attention twice a year. (and could probably get a pliant label deal by demonstrating the fervour of that subscription audience, though again would do better selling directly to them. release one live albums on bandcamp each quarter (from different eras), a best-of EP of new & old demos once a year (having already had them to patreons), get a distro deal for studio albums but sell a deluxe version direct; let the label handle the fulfilment on this out of laziness as a gesture of goodwill.

does anyone have Morrissey's manager's phone number

310-962-6700

^ looked up this Beverly Hills number, reached a mansion owned by Ricky Martin 2004-2006, and by Michael & Shakira Caine 1976-87, who installed a pool that extended from the living room to outdoors, but the next owners removed the indoor part, before a later buyer razed the entire house.

phone numbers vaguely related to people who have not figured out how to live

in not-entirely-startling news: armond white is on twitter arguing that the most recent three morrissey LPs are the best of his career

I'm sad to report that…

He's still among us.

Hmph

Saw this thread and immediately thought the worst/best.

considering what this last year has done to loads of previously-seemingly-ok musicians, I dread to think what Morrissey's next pronouncement will be when he emerges again.

Being parodied by latter day Simpsons, I mean why would you even bother drawing attention to it? Like being savaged by a dead sheep.
