Your thoughts ?

I find it frankly quite bizarre 0

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 3 May 2004 13:52 (twenty-one years ago)

music made by the gays? C/D?

― cutty (mcutt), Monday, 3 May 2004 13:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Just for the record, I don't believe Morrissey has ever officially confirmed his sexual preferrence r

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 3 May 2004 13:56 (twenty-one years ago)

is that the same fake tommy gun that Cam'ron had at the Source Awards?

― Al (sitcom), Monday, 3 May 2004 13:57 (twenty-one years ago)

I quite like his tie, I'll say that

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 3 May 2004 13:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Just for the record, I don't believe Morrissey has ever officially confirmed his sexual preferrence

oh please, morrissey is as gay as the day is long. and didn't he get married last year? to a man?

― cutty (mcutt), Monday, 3 May 2004 14:01 (twenty-one years ago)

It's sorta Serge Gainsbourg'ish

― Martinez, Monday, 3 May 2004 14:03 (twenty-one years ago)

my girlfriend saw him on the street in Soho yesterday.

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 3 May 2004 14:03 (twenty-one years ago)

simply by existing Morrissey has confirmed his sexual preference.

Asian, Big Tits.

The Font/Layout suck.
Pink=Puke
Pinstripe Suit=CLASSIC

my girlfriend saw him on the street in Soho yesterday.

i honestly do NOT know what i would do in that situation

― cutty (mcutt), Monday, 3 May 2004 14:04 (twenty-one years ago)

oh please that cover is instant classic

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Monday, 3 May 2004 14:05 (twenty-one years ago)

she said his eyebrows were "amazing."

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 3 May 2004 14:05 (twenty-one years ago)

what an awkward photo shoot. i'd like to see the other shots they took. morrissey licking the gun, etc.

― cutty (mcutt), Monday, 3 May 2004 14:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Darnielle, you're drunk with power (again!).

It's pretty awful.

― ddb, Monday, 3 May 2004 14:06 (twenty-one years ago)

no one has yet to mention the phrasing:

Morrissey, you are the quarry

as if someone is addressing him as such

― cutty (mcutt), Monday, 3 May 2004 14:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Is that a comma? Â´

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 3 May 2004 14:09 (twenty-one years ago)

hmmm...looks to be

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 3 May 2004 14:09 (twenty-one years ago)

yes. a

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 3 May 2004 14:10 (twenty-one years ago)

the suit, the hair, the gun...it's all gangsta, Mozz is O.G. #1 reclaimin' the 'hood that forgot him, and when the heat wave high e'eybody gotta die, etc

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Monday, 3 May 2004 14:11 (twenty-one years ago)

and as to the comma, it's questionable evidence of a slapped-together cover: the idea is that you the viewer will say "omg wtf!!! it looks like they only took five minnits to design shoot & print the bitch!" which is EXACTLY the idea, I bet there were like 20+ meetings ironing out the particulars of this magnificent piece of cover-art

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Monday, 3 May 2004 14:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Morrissey's covers are not much to write home about anyway.

― ddb, Monday, 3 May 2004 14:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Maladjusted/Look at my Taint.

― ddb, Monday, 3 May 2004 14:19 (twenty-one years ago)

I read in SPIN recently that he's since disowned the Maladjusted cover m

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 3 May 2004 14:25 (twenty-one years ago)

When Morrissey starts waving around guns, it's a sign that he's spent too much time living in LA.

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Monday, 3 May 2004 14:25 (twenty-one years ago)

barry, that's only to appease his vatos latino fanbase/boys

― cutty (mcutt), Monday, 3 May 2004 14:27 (twenty-one years ago)

the selective capitalization of the text is kind of mystifying.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 3 May 2004 14:29 (twenty-one years ago)

cover = sooo classic

― M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Monday, 3 May 2004 14:30 (twenty-one years ago)

I could do without the Attack logo in the bottom corner, but the rest is great.

― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Monday, 3 May 2004 14:32 (twenty-one years ago)

no logo!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 3 May 2004 14:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Morrissey, you are the open excavation or pit from which stone is obtained by digging, cutting, or blasting.

Morrissey, you are the rich or productive source.

Morrissey, you are the object of the chase; the animal hunted for; game; especially, the game hunted with hawks.

Morrissey, you are the square or diamond shape.

Morrissey, you are the part of the entrails of the beast taken, given to the hounds.

― cutty (mcutt), Monday, 3 May 2004 14:34 (twenty-one years ago)

It's...the image. Meaning the same one for circulating about two months now! You people need to catch up on our other Moz threads. ;-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 3 May 2004 14:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Looks a bit like he's standing in front of the back cover of Ritual De Lo Habitual

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 3 May 2004 14:45 (twenty-one years ago)

He is!

― martinez, Monday, 3 May 2004 18:24 (twenty-one years ago)

I haven't cared about Moz since Viva Hate, really. But danged if that ain't his greatest cover ever.

― noodle vague (noodle vague), Monday, 3 May 2004 18:27 (twenty-one years ago)

It's a great cover! It will probably be much better than the album, despite my hopes.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Monday, 3 May 2004 18:29 (twenty-one years ago)

that's the funniest misspelling of 'Queer' I've ever seen.
damn Brits

(It's about time he finally came out too...!
Good for him to finally muster up the courage to do so.)

― rentboy (rentboy), Monday, 3 May 2004 18:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Q Magazine didn't think much of it .....for whatever that's worth

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 3 May 2004 18:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Is Q still going?

Blimey.

― noodle vague (noodle vague), Monday, 3 May 2004 18:47 (twenty-one years ago)

There's a layout of Morrissey in GQ that makes him look EXACTLY like Jim Rockford.

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 3 May 2004 18:48 (twenty-one years ago)

That's what made it great.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Monday, 3 May 2004 18:49 (twenty-one years ago)

I like the symbolism.
Pink velvet curtain.
Huge phallic weapon (so big it goes out of shot)
Furry eyebrows of doom.
It's killer.
He should have called it 'Morrissey, Lick my Love Pump'

― Patrick Kinghorn, Monday, 3 May 2004 18:56 (twenty-one years ago)

WHY HAS THIS MOTHER FUCKING ALBUM NOT LEAKED YET WHY WHY WHY... also I really like the Maladjusted cover, I went out and bought shoes like that (nb I was really lame in 1997).

― adam (adam), Monday, 3 May 2004 19:28 (twenty-one years ago)

the promo is out there. people are selling them on ebay.

― cutty (mcutt), Monday, 3 May 2004 19:30 (twenty-one years ago)

WHY HAS THIS MOTHER FUCKING ALBUM NOT LEAKED YET WHY WHY WHY...

Because like any good fan you are to BUY it, young man. I will!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 3 May 2004 19:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Where in Soho, Stence? What was he doing?

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 3 May 2004 19:53 (twenty-one years ago)

i like it. the pose and angle are really good, and the typography is ok..

― chris andrews (fraew), Monday, 3 May 2004 20:01 (twenty-one years ago)

not really loving the sloppily draped mauve background.

― maria tessa sciarrino (theoreticalgirl), Monday, 3 May 2004 20:26 (twenty-one years ago)

walking, and I think it was maybe on Broome Street? Not entirely sure.

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 3 May 2004 20:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Most of the album has leaked I think.

― Hippocratic Oaf (DavidM), Monday, 7 March 2011 12:42 (fourteen years ago)

guess i'm just glad it isn't National Front Disco.

― piscesx, Monday, 7 March 2011 13:43 (fourteen years ago)

The week before the album's release, a limited edition 7" in a picture sleeve, a limited edition 7" picture disc, and an ECD single of 'Glamorous Glue' will be released, both b/w two never-heard-before Morrissey songs – 'Safe, Warm Lancashire Home' (7 inches) and 'Treat Me Like A Human Being' (ECD) – taken from the Viva Hate album sessions.

― Mark G, Monday, 7 March 2011 15:35 (fourteen years ago)

ecd?

― reallysmoothmusic (Jamie_ATP), Monday, 7 March 2011 22:49 (fourteen years ago)

enhanced compact disc (ie prob has a quicktime of the video on it, for 90s nostalgia)

― blud money (sic), Tuesday, 8 March 2011 00:22 (fourteen years ago)

uh woah that t-shirt

― gr8080 sings the blues (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 8 March 2011 00:38 (fourteen years ago)

I wouldn't mind checking out those two Viva Hate era songs, tbh.

― Hippocratic Oaf (DavidM), Tuesday, 8 March 2011 17:21 (fourteen years ago)

I had to revisit Glamorous Glue to remember what it sounded like. Pretty damn good, actually. I remember really loving Your Arsenal but I haven't played it since 96 or so.

― brotherlovesdub, Tuesday, 8 March 2011 17:28 (fourteen years ago)

one year passes...

I wear cat on the outside because cat is how I feel on the inside

well done, morrissey

Nowadays you can't even buy a Morrissey album without getting Rick-Rolled.

― These goons are from Galactor and who gives a s*** (snoball), Thursday, 7 March 2013 09:36 (twelve years ago)

The Last of the Famous International Playboys, and on the right (of the picture and possibly politically as well), Morrissey.

― These goons are from Galactor and who gives a s*** (snoball), Thursday, 7 March 2013 09:39 (twelve years ago)

I mean, what's his next album going to have as a cover? Nyan Cat with Morrissey's face 'shopped onto it?

― These goons are from Galactor and who gives a s*** (snoball), Thursday, 7 March 2013 09:40 (twelve years ago)

Did you see the new kill uncle cover?

― OutdoorFish, Thursday, 7 March 2013 12:18 (twelve years ago)

I can't GIS the real one for all the piss-take parodies.

― Half of these sound like rappers. (snoball), Thursday, 7 March 2013 12:25 (twelve years ago)

It looks a bit like this one:
http://ring.cdandlp.com/gigi5055/photo_grande/115028845.jpg

― Mark G, Thursday, 7 March 2013 12:27 (twelve years ago)

If it follows the pattern of 'Moz photographed with some other singer' then I hope it's based on this...
http://www.out.com/sites/out.com/files/morrissey-bowie-main.jpeg

― Half of these sound like rappers. (snoball), Thursday, 7 March 2013 12:30 (twelve years ago)

(except with Bowie's face covered by a black square with 'KILL UNCLE' on it - gotta keep those memes a-rollin')

― Half of these sound like rappers. (snoball), Thursday, 7 March 2013 12:32 (twelve years ago)

Ah, that'll be the 'do not use' pic then.

― Mark G, Thursday, 7 March 2013 12:34 (twelve years ago)

I guess the one in the kill uncle thread is not real. Probably better than the real one.

― OutdoorFish, Thursday, 7 March 2013 12:42 (twelve years ago)

This is the one from teh thread, a less squashed version comes up in GIS.

Like I said, I couldn't tell for all the piss-takes. Why would Morrissey replace a picture of himself looking silly with a picture of himself looking silly while cosplaying as Vanilla Ice? ("I'd like to suck on some of that!" yada yada yada)

― Half of these sound like rappers. (snoball), Thursday, 7 March 2013 12:47 (twelve years ago)

He's wearing a Morrissey t-shirt.

― Eyeball Kicks, Thursday, 7 March 2013 12:57 (twelve years ago)

I think that is also above in this thread lol could be wrong

― OutdoorFish, Thursday, 7 March 2013 13:21 (twelve years ago)

urgh that cover is really horrible - the original as uninspiring as it was kinda reflected accurately the thinness of the music inside

― licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Thursday, 7 March 2013 13:58 (twelve years ago)

This looks like something a color blind person attempted as their first photoshop project.

― Ulna (Nicole), Thursday, 7 March 2013 14:13 (twelve years ago)

With Morrissey you always know that there must be a t-rex sleeve being pastiched or something. This is the closest I can find so far:

http://i25.fastpic.ru/big/2011/0720/7b/7ed6635c020f7efcd518e4499ea84a7b.jpg

― Eyeball Kicks, Thursday, 7 March 2013 14:17 (twelve years ago)

Pretty nifty how I put that link in italics.

― Eyeball Kicks, Thursday, 7 March 2013 14:17 (twelve years ago)

It's more like a sleeve for Racey or Darts than T-Rex

― .... the rest look like Dudley Sutton (Tom D.), Thursday, 7 March 2013 14:19 (twelve years ago)

xxpost Actually better than a lot of his covers which years of refusal excepted have got progressively worse

― OutdoorFish, Thursday, 7 March 2013 14:29 (twelve years ago)

None if his solo album covers particularly grab me. Even with the smiths the singles always had the best sleeves.

― OutdoorFish, Thursday, 7 March 2013 14:33 (twelve years ago)

Last singles covers I really liked were fatty and friends.

― OutdoorFish, Thursday, 7 March 2013 14:35 (twelve years ago)

Pretty nifty how I put that link in italics.

Yeah, with all the russian rear-ends on the page also.. (basically, NSFW!!)

― Mark G, Thursday, 7 March 2013 14:44 (twelve years ago)

Sorry! Thought the link just went straight to the pic.

― Eyeball Kicks, Thursday, 7 March 2013 14:49 (twelve years ago)

Better than the cover I thought

― OutdoorFish, Thursday, 7 March 2013 15:14 (twelve years ago)

hmm I guess there's a good "least horrible Moz album cover" poll lurking here

― licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Thursday, 7 March 2013 15:25 (twelve years ago)

Most or least, either would be a fun poll.

― Ulna (Nicole), Thursday, 7 March 2013 15:27 (twelve years ago)

If I were voting for worst solo album cover it would have to be the reissue of maladjusted. So cheap and nasty.

― OutdoorFish, Thursday, 7 March 2013 15:57 (twelve years ago)

^^ yes

I am quite partial to the You Are The Quarry and Ringleaders of The Tormentors covers tbqh.

― B.A. "Bad Attitude" Santamaria (King Boy Pato), Friday, 8 March 2013 11:09 (twelve years ago)

guys guys guys IT'S MORRISSEY PLAYING A VIOLIN

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/43/Tormentors.jpg

― B.A. "Bad Attitude" Santamaria (King Boy Pato), Friday, 8 March 2013 11:09 (twelve years ago)

quite like that one to be honest - might be my vote for least horrible Moz solo album cover

― licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Friday, 8 March 2013 11:56 (twelve years ago)

When I was a teenager I had fantasies that morrissey would make a double album one side of which would be orchestral. Some of the songs would be produced by johnny marr. The imagery I had for the sleeve was kind of like this black and white and shrouded in darkness

― OutdoorFish, Friday, 8 March 2013 13:18 (twelve years ago)

Seems like he could totally do one of those tours where he guests with city orchestras.

― your fretless ways (Eazy), Friday, 8 March 2013 13:20 (twelve years ago)

an orchestra composed of musicians with a quiff (and naked).

― AlXTC from Paris, Friday, 8 March 2013 13:25 (twelve years ago)

Who cannot play their instruments lol

― OutdoorFish, Friday, 8 March 2013 13:45 (twelve years ago)

following these threads about Moz, I went back to some of his stuff I hadn't heard in years, since I lost interest a long time ago, and found out I had totally forgotten "first of the gang to die". pretty good song. It's stuck in my head now !

― AlXTC from Paris, Monday, 11 March 2013 15:32 (twelve years ago)

since this is the recent Morrissey thread:

Singer Morrissey was diagnosed with double pneumonia at a hospital in San Francisco on Friday, forcing a last-minute postponement of his concert at the Regency Ballroom, according to the show's promoter, Goldenvoice.
The 53-year-old English singer and former leader of the Smiths is expected to make a full recovery, said an official statement posted on the fan site True to You, with plans to resume his tour with a headlining appearance at the Vive Latino festival in Mexico City on Thursday.
Morrissey, whose full name is Steven Patrick Morrissey, has suffered a series of health problems in recent months. In January, he had to cancel several dates on his current tour after he was hospitalized in Michigan with a bleeding ulcer and other ailments.
Questions about the state of his health prompted him to release a statement to his fans: "The reports of my death have been greatly understated. Once admitted to the William Beaumont Hospital at Royal Oak in Michigan, I received treatment for concussion, a bleeding ulcer, and Barrett's esophagus. The positive from all of this is that there are now no known ailments left for me to try."

― 2010 and 2012 World Champions San Francisco Giants (Bee OK), Tuesday, 12 March 2013 01:46 (twelve years ago)

I'm convinced he has lung problems from living in Los Angeles; completely unfounded, however.

― kafkaesque (c21m50nh3x460n), Tuesday, 12 March 2013 02:00 (twelve years ago)

So that is the Kill Uncle reissue cover. Thought it was.
