what an odd man morrisey is. sounds great though, fine nico track.

― matthew james (matthew james), Monday, 14 April 2003 13:58 (twenty-two years ago)

I love the thought of Morrisey, pissed up, in a club, going 'Wahey! All back to mine!' And everyone mumbling, and making excuses into their pints, because they know he lives in a bedsit full of Nico records.

― jason j, Monday, 14 April 2003 14:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Is this for reals?

― david day (winslow), Monday, 14 April 2003 14:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Ah, yes. "Under The Influence" it is...

I've been a longtime fan of most of the Back to Mine compilations (New Order, Faithless and Nick Warren are the best IMO).... but it's hard to see who would want to buy this compilation.

Diana Dors? Oh God, grow up, Morrissey. It may be desperately camp and ironic.... but NOBODY CARES ANY MORE.

― russ t, Monday, 14 April 2003 14:45 (twenty-two years ago)

this is the only 'all back to mine' compilation that i've seen so far that i would even consider buying

― gareth (gareth), Monday, 14 April 2003 14:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Good luck trying to get the licensing rights for Patti Smith's "Hey Joe" - Smith herself has tried for years.

I know I would.

I have to agree with Russ T re: the Diana Dors track. It does sound horribly contrived doesn't it? Mind you, he's never been scared of playing up to his image has he?

Also, it might be an excellent track. Work Is A Four-Letter Word was contrived but it's one of my favourite Smiths tracks. Marr detests it.

― Johnny Jarvis, Monday, 14 April 2003 15:36 (twenty-two years ago)

I want to hear it for the Sparks track. That was recorded as a demo back in their Halfnelson days and has never been officially released. The Sparks list has been chatting away madly about this comp all day!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 14 April 2003 16:13 (twenty-two years ago)

I always hated Morrissey before, but now I actually want to kill him - partly for his own good. Before seeing this, I wouldn't have been able to imagine anything worse than going back to Mozzer's gaff. Now I have to think of being made to listen to Patti fucking Smith and Diana Dors while I was there...

― Dave Stelfox, Monday, 14 April 2003 20:43 (twenty-two years ago)

...which would be pretty excellent!

― Nicole (Nicole), Monday, 14 April 2003 20:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Seconded! Besides, he lives in LA, he'll have Ron and Russell come visit or something, and it would be even more perfect.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 14 April 2003 21:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Would Americans understand Diana Dors and T-Rex...

― Dave Stelfox, Monday, 14 April 2003 21:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Better than you could possibly understand Jayne Mansfield and Kiss.

― miffed septic (suzy), Monday, 14 April 2003 21:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Americans fuckin' love T Rex.

― Adam A. (Keiko), Monday, 14 April 2003 21:18 (twenty-two years ago)

ha! touche! jayne mansfield is the female kenneth anger... s. has bought a bunch of old british magazines with jayne mansfield on the cover. yup. the british didnt get her.

― Sonny Tremaine (Sonny), Monday, 14 April 2003 21:20 (twenty-two years ago)

and the english don't get the black dahlia ...

― Sonny Tremaine (Sonny), Monday, 14 April 2003 21:23 (twenty-two years ago)

'reggae is vile'

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 14 April 2003 21:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Would Americans understand Diana Dors and T-Rex...

Sean to thread! You want an American T Rex fanatic who understands, he'll erase your doubts. (I like to think I'm up there somewhere too. ;-))

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 14 April 2003 21:29 (twenty-two years ago)

merely a question as i wasn't sure how popular t-rex were in the US, i always understood that marc bolan and t-rex weren't especially popular in the US, although i know bangs wrote about them in creem or somesuch... if i'm mistaken, thank you for clarifying this point. as it so happens, jayne mansfield and to a slightly lesser extent kiss are very well within my fame of reference...

― Dave Stelfox, Monday, 14 April 2003 21:31 (twenty-two years ago)

t-rex, who? wasnt he in the pet shop boys?

― Sonny Tremaine (Sonny), Monday, 14 April 2003 21:33 (twenty-two years ago)

no that's neil tennant! ;-)

― Dave Stelfox, Monday, 14 April 2003 21:34 (twenty-two years ago)

I heard he was moving back to rainy England:(

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 14 April 2003 21:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Hello! btw, do I know this track "Great Horse"?

― Sean (Sean), Monday, 14 April 2003 21:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, it's off A Beard of Stars.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 14 April 2003 21:41 (twenty-two years ago)

so i can take that as a yes? perhaps "understand" wasn't the right word, was just wondering if they were more of a british thing, bearing in mind i was about 3 when they were around...

― Dave Stelfox, Monday, 14 April 2003 21:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Serious answer, Dave -- they only ever had one real smash hit over here with "Get It On." But Bolan tried to break America a few times -- never really made it, unlike Bowie. Last time he toured here was 1974 with Three Dog Night, if I remember right. The Edsel series did get issued over here a while back, including the whole Unchained series, much to my surprise, so there is some sort of wider demand beyond the fanbase.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 14 April 2003 21:46 (twenty-two years ago)

"Get it On" gets bludgeoned into every American skull that listens to classic rock radio - along with "Jeepster" - which used to be a good portion of the country. Yeah, I'd say even my "heavy metal parking lot" knucklehead stoner type friends from high school are hip to at least those two songs.

Anyway, T. Rex is brilliant stuff, as is Mott, Slade, Sweet, Alex Harvey, the lot of it.

However, I can't say I've ever heard Mud or Showaddywaddy.

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Tuesday, 15 April 2003 05:08 (twenty-two years ago)

I am thrilled by the prospect of the Diana Dors track.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Tuesday, 15 April 2003 08:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Mary -
rainy old England? Err... it's Britain, actually.....
....but since he's been in that plastic hellhole you call LA.... how his creativeness has all but evaporated.... Moz and palm trees, pools, silicone and no smoking everywhere simply doesn't mix.... bring him back while he's almost young enough to make one last album.
Without that dog-eared rockabilly 'combo' he's done to death.

― russ t, Tuesday, 15 April 2003 08:21 (twenty-two years ago)

surely morrissey is evocative of 'england' rather than 'britain' though?

― gareth (gareth), Tuesday, 15 April 2003 08:42 (twenty-two years ago)

well hardly - he's Irish descent.

― russ t, Tuesday, 15 April 2003 10:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Irish blood, English Heart - this he's made of.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Tuesday, 15 April 2003 10:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Scratch a talented 'Englishman' and you always find a Celt.

― Momus (Momus), Tuesday, 15 April 2003 10:25 (twenty-two years ago)

(I think this is a partial explanation of the perversity of the Moz persona - vacillating between being Puritan Avenger and Martyred Apostle of Love [or between Catholicism and Protestantism - see Hughes' 'Shakespeare & the Goddess of Complete Being' on Hamlet].)

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Tuesday, 15 April 2003 10:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Momus - well said....and too true.

― russ t, Tuesday, 15 April 2003 10:51 (twenty-two years ago)

...or a Jew.

― Momus (Momus), Tuesday, 15 April 2003 11:50 (twenty-two years ago)

.. or a paedophile.

― Lynskey (Lynskey), Tuesday, 15 April 2003 11:54 (twenty-two years ago)

...or even someone who's dull enough to support President Bush......

― russ t, Tuesday, 15 April 2003 12:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Goodness me - Ted Hughes, Morrissey, Protestantism and Catholicism- whatever next?

― the pinefox, Tuesday, 15 April 2003 13:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Lloyd Cole?

― Nicole (Nicole), Tuesday, 15 April 2003 13:17 (twenty-two years ago)

(Maggie Thatcher.)

― the pinefox, Tuesday, 15 April 2003 13:18 (twenty-two years ago)

oh no, ANYTHING but Thatcher.
As Morrissey himself so eloquently said "The kind people have a wonderful dream.... Margaret on the Guillotine".
One of his most inspired and on the mark lyrics, I thought.

― russ t, Tuesday, 15 April 2003 13:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Fuck all I meant was that he was slated to move back to London, so sue me. Later haters.

― Mary (Mary), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 05:11 (twenty-two years ago)

ooooh.... check her! Personally, the greatest thing Moz could do would be to move back to England. LA obviously doesn't inspire him (unsurprisingly) - and it's a waste of his talent - he's not getting any younger, is he? And he's released NOTHING since he's been in the US.

― russ t, Wednesday, 16 April 2003 09:09 (twenty-two years ago)

does he still have a house in Dublin? I pass his old place almost daily.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 09:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Scratch a talented 'Englishman' and you always find a Celt.

Like Elvis Costello and the Gallagher brothers?
