​

me over the years. Some of you have Ipods, I have Meltdown."

Vauxhall and I ?

nah - close but not quite there

Southpaw Grammar from 1995 was his solo peak
pity so many people hated it

children please! she has yet to even get near her pink and tender little creative peak.

the song 'southpaw' might have been his solo creative peak. to be honest i'd probably go with 'bona drag' as his best solo album.

it's amazing how someone so lyrically gifted can end up with nothing to say.

i'll definitely buy the new one. maybe the years in the wilderness have done him good. he's on a better label now too. some semi-indie company, i think. can't remember the name of it.

Bona Drag is a compilation of singles/b-sides so I wouldn't rank it ; yeah pretty good

but if you just concentrate on the six solo albums then no

i think a lot of it was recorded with the idea of it being an album proper. 'last of the famous', 'interesting drug', 'picadilly' etc had nothing to do with 'viva hate'. but it does have a fair bit of stuff from the 'viva hate' sessions too, so i guess it's a mix of the two. how nerdy is it to discuss this stuff? on the internet too!

to completely go with the studio album definiton, i'd probably pick either 'viva hate' or 'vauxhal et moi'. 'why don't you find out for yourself' is a cracker. and 'late night, maudlin street' is v. nice too.

i don't have 'southpaw', but i liked it when i heard it. i wasn't joking about the song 'southpaw'. it well rocks. the b-sides to 'dagenham dave' are really good too.

did you go and queue that time when he did the signing in virgin? how silly was that? the weirdest group of people i've ever stood in a queue with.

It's called Attack, it's an old reggae label belonging to Sanctuary that's been revived for Morissey to use.

He's just announced a Dublin gig, too! - June 5th at Dublin Castle...

yeah, I heard that too. a scrapped album which resulted in those singles
Ouija Board Ouija Board being particularly compelling

 

[nlgbbbblth]

ithe b-sides to 'dagenham dave' are really good too.

.

aye, Nobody Loves Us and You Must Please Remember; the latter still not made it onto a compilation

I didn't bother going to that

he came into Sinnotts in Waterford the day after the gig there and signed my copy of Hatful of Hollow LP which I just bought for £4.99

june 5th? sweet.

June 6th marks the 20th anniversary of my departure to Irish College

is that gig part of Green Energy festival or summat?

Bank Holiday weekend anyways

 

[nonlogic liam]

southpaw grammar? I consider that album a career low for morrissey although dagaham dave and the operation are quite good. Favourite morrissey solo project is Bona Drag. Favourite solo album whole be either viva hate or vauxhall and I (it varys from week to week). Your arsenal, kill uncle and malajusted are all good albums in there own way but have no where near the direction and good taste of viva and vauxhall.


june 5th ill be there.
