No, not a thread about whether or not hes a knob, its just having previously dismissed him (as a knob :p ) I laid hands on "Singles" by the Smiths for eight quid in HMV, a bargain which has only been matched by The Stone Roses Greatest Hits for a tenner.
Just wondering if anyone can recommend some good solo stuff :confused:
Well, he also has a singles collection out, called Suedehead, so you could start there.
Otherwise I would say Your Arsenal and Vauxhall & I, both of which you should pick up at a reasonable price too.

my personal standout tracks on Bona Drag would be 'Ouiija Board Ouiija Board', 'Interesting Drug' and 'Yes I am Blind'
From 'Vauxhall & I' ....'Now My Heart Is Full', 'The More You Ignore Me (The Closer I Get') and 'The Lazy Sunbathers'
With the exception of the two singles 'Irish Blood English Heart' and 'First of the Gang To Die' 2004s 'You Are The Quarry' is a bit thin I think. It just doesn't sound like he stretched himself much on a lot of it.
Full UK tour here
Wonder will he play Ireland ?
heard from "an industry source" who heard from ...um ...another industry source that he's going to do three Irish dates the week before the UK. two in the olympia in Dublin and one in Killarney INEC.
Remember who told you first :cool:
Killarney?
And no Belfast? :eek: Why a date in a hole like Killarney and not here?! It makes no sense...:confused:
Just remember Gerrit -you heard it here first.Quote:

Don't know why he asked for an Athlone gig. Family connection maybe? Thought his folks were from Galway.
Surely Belfast would have been mentioned as part of the UK tour, No ??Quote:

Anyway, Moz's tourdates don't mention Belfast. Maybe he doesn't like us :( It makes no sense though to include Killarney in a tour and skip the second biggest city on the isle.
Supermac wanted to build a big circa 8,000 seater concert hall in Athlone but local objections finished off that project. Jaysus, I'd have loved to have seen Morrissey live there.Quote:

I got it as well but I didn't like the version of This Is Not A Love SOng that was on it. The original 7" edit was the best one. But it's overall quite good.Quote:

Anyway, am curious for the setlist, hopefully some Smiths songs just like last time.
In NME there's an interview with Moz, and a round-up/introduction to all tracks on the new album.
