i honestly dont know how the 2 even meet. morrisey's ego-filled "dont touch me" mysterious sexual frustration filled pop songs and frank's brash self-devultion rock n roll songs are night and day. you can pick out a few similar songs, but geez, frank's let loose on the public over 100...i can find a few that would link him to just about any good songwriter not named Prince.

I would love to see this combo. I have not followed morrisey in years but he was a favorite when i was younger. It seems that FB has done all he can to repair that one.

Is Morrisey still releasing new recordings or just like the old days re-releasing the same songs on different records?

Well the fact that they're different isn't necessarily an obstacle, is it? The fact that Frank was enthusiastic about that cooperation proves that they have things in common. Once again, I'm not talking about Morissey's and Frank's music, not their personalities.



Have some wine, please, don't run away.

Well, the Smiths DID sing Meaven knows I'm miserable now, but not all their songs are depressive...Some of Morissey's lyrics are very funny (like "Handsome Devil", I already posted it in the favourite lyrics thread, "Let me get my hands on you mammary glands" or "You ask me the time but I sense something more" are really funny.


Even in "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" (maybe "Meaven" needs to be worked into the Culf of Buttoms somehow), I'd say the line "Why do I give valuable time to people who I'd much rather kick in the eye?" is pretty humorous.



Join the Culf of Buttoms / Correctly spelled cults are so passé.

For all of you who aren't very familiar with the Smiths, check out the compilation albums Louder Than Bombs or Singles. At least listen to There is a Light that Never Goes Out. I guarantee you'll at least like it. In the world of rock gods, I'd put Morrissey just below Frank Black. (But a collaboration would be f'd up)
Adrian: what's your favorite Smiths song? I like Frankly Mr. Shankly (the lyrics always make me laugh)

Winnie, I like Frankly Mr. Shankly pretty much, but I really don't know which one is my favorite. Probably "This charming man" or "What difference does it make?".

One of the funniest is "Vicar in a tutu", as well as "Cemetery Gates". "Queen is dead" is funny as well (you should hear me play piano), and so many others.

I loooove CEMETERY GATES. What about solo Morrissey? I really love THE MORE YOU IGNORE ME, THE CLOSER I GET and EVERYDAY IS LIKE SUNDAY. Also how can you resist HAIRDRESSER ON FIRE? I think I am going to put VIVA HATE on right now.

I don't like that line. Most people DON'T keep their brains between their legs. I like the song, though.

Frank/Morissey : wouldn't it be nice ?

Nope.

Don't like his voice, it seems to be the same on every song I've heard but I haven't heard that many because I don't like his voice.
So I'll shut up. Zip.

To the person who said Morissey is a singer, and not jesus - thats exactly how i feel about him. He's way too 'up himself' for my liking

He appears to have forgiven Jesus though, apparently. Which is magnanimous of the man.

What did Jesus ever do to him?

The video is good, though.

Heh, I was just going to say that Frank would have to write the lyrics. Although I lurve Morissey some of his solo work lyrics are pretty silly.

German festival in the mountains in the spring on the shores of the most beautiful dead river I've ever seen. Someone in the audience throws an iron bar on stage. Later we're told it could be a German sign of affection. Hope it affects someone else next time. Lots of good bands like those Sugarcubes. The other half of the PA gets turned on when The Cure hit the stage, but what the heck. They sold the tickets and it sounds great. Afterwards, the promoter gives all the bands a rock encased in plastic that has "The Cure'" printed on it. Someone also gives me one of those reversible Morrissey tour jackets. I look rained on and trodden, yet sharp. I would duet with that guy in a second. No lie.


That's from 1989. Does anyone have the orginal article Charles mentions where he talks shit about Morrissey? I haven't been able to track it down.

I saw Morrissey live on Monday night! and it was great, his bands great, he's still sharp and he played a fair few Smiths songs, i mean he opened with "How Soon is Now"! how cool is that!. But although i like Morrissey's solo and his work with the Smiths i would be interested to hear what him and Frank could do but i really dont know how they would do it or if it would be any use.

I think a collaboration could be interesting. One of those alchemistic experiments ... will it explode? Will it yield gold?

The pair actually have some things in common musically, if not personally. Listen to "Honeycomb" and "You Are The Quarry" back-to-back. Little similarities in the accents, in the song structures. I have no idea who would write the lyrics. Maybe they could re-cover "Hermaphroditos" or "I Have Forgiven Jesus?" A stoic and a drama queen? Opposites attracting?

Anyway, never say never ..

Beat him in a poker game, years ago.

They both beat Buddha, but that wasn't hard, since he had given up all his worldly possessions, leaving him with very little to bet.
