Neil doesn’t do clubs.

Lyric is most likely venue if he does area at all…

Morrissey says he accepted a lucrative offer to reunite The Smiths and tour worldwide in 2025, but Johnny Marr turned it down.

Well that sucks

Wonder if he wanted a bigger split of the take?

Or maybe Marr didn't want to hang around with an awful racist

I really wouldn’t know anything about that….maybe we will hear Marr’s take..

Listening to Bengali in platforms or Alsatian cousin or National Front disco it’s pretty clear Morrissey has always held his polemic views and listening to many other Smiths songs…well he has always been controversial…am sure many would loathe the sentiments expressed in a relatively newer song like Israel. It’s the world that changed not Morrissey: “Has the world changed or have I changed” comes to mind.


I think it’s a very slippery slope when we try to limit what artists express because we object to it. I also think there are double standards at work on what artists are allowed to say.

To be perfectly blunt it's kind of crazy to hear people allied with those chanting “Palestine from the river to the sea” - broadcast on multiple television channels- having an issue with Morrissey’s controversial statements which are almost always taken out of context and regurgitated back in the most malicious way. If you defend protesters saying such abhorrent things on a live broadcast carried by multiple television channels then surely Morrissey can make his controversial quips in an interview without earning your opprobrium.

I tried it this weekend on 3 different flights. It 100% works.

Liftoff is exactly when the musical intro ends and the vocals begin, and the flight attendant's first announcement comes on exactly when the song fades out.

I’m guessing with the announcement that Linkin Park has added a female co-vocalist Emily Armstrong of Dead Sara to their lineup, that that the music licensing experts have become Linkin Park commentators.  I’m sure there will plenty of misogyny to go around, plus the use of woke lather rinse repeat

is this new

hmm, is that because it was called "Quem deixou os cães saírem"

Local band Bacchae call it day, which is bummer because was really enjoying their latest album.  Glad I got to catch them live the one time and the Go-Go/Punk event at MLK Library

Yeah I wish…

Morrissey claims Johnny Marr now owns “100 per cent trademark rights and Intellectual Property” of The Smiths name – and can tour as band without him

How can this be true? Marr left the Smiths in 1987 and they didn’t break up when he left.

Marr just clarified the Smith trademark issue among other things, seem like Morrissey need to some publicity…

In terms of the trademark issue, Marr said he only discovered that the Smiths did not own their name after a 2018 “attempt by a third party to use” it. Afterwards, he contacted Morrissey “via his representatives, to work together in protecting the Smiths’ name. A failure to respond led Marr to register the trademark himself. It was subsequently agreed with Morrissey’s lawyers that this trademark was held for the mutual benefit of Morrissey and Marr. As a gesture of goodwill, in January 2024, Marr signed an assignment of joint ownership to Morrissey. Execution of this document still requires Morrissey to sign.”
