Why Choose Morrissey?

Morrissey is what most would call a loved man. When this bloke is on stage, he is god. The mortals in the pit are unfazed by his controversial antics and offensive nature. They sacrifice their lives just for a chance to touch this holy man. It's actually pretty weird to see. But the weirdest thing about it? I'd probably do it too.

What makes him so special though? He's an adamant supporter of the idiotic PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), and he even went as far as to put his anti-meat ideas onto The Smiths' second album "Meat is Muder",which isn't ideal for getting new fans in a predominatly meat loving world, y'know. His lyrics don't really help his cause very much, either. They're mostly gloom-ridden and terribly sad. Dealing with, like, being lonely and...sad...and depressed. Expect to hear lots of crying, dying, lying, sighing rhymes. Sure, a lot of people can relate to that, but a HELL of a lot can't, which makes this world wide fasination with Morrissey even more bizarre.

Eventhough it can be REALLY depressing, you can't really ignore the fact that his lyrics are some of the best out there. His solo career spawned some of his best:

She told me she loved me
Which means she must be insane
I've had my face dragged
In fifteen miles of shit
And I do not
And I do not
And I do not like it
So how can anybody say
They know how I feel
The only one around here who is me
Is me

How can Anybody Possibly Know How I Feel, You Are The Quarry, 2004

So he's big headed, hypocritical and sometimes even a bit rude and still people admire, love, adore and worship him.
Weird, isn't it? but maybe this is how it should be. Why do we always focus on personal irrelevancies when it comes to the talent? It shouldn't even be a issue that he hates fur coats, meat, the Queen and sometimes, life.
We like him because of his music and words, and I think for us fans, that's more than enough.

Fin.

DEPECHE MODE

yes. depeche mode.
a gay group of men they are not. and of course, here I mean 'gay' in that 'happy' way.

Martin L. Gore is a very sad man. I don't know why he is so upset with this life thing, but to be honest, his sorrow makes me very happy. So Mr. Gore, thank you for being such an emo poopie, because you've certainly written some of the coolest music ever.

Choosing my favourite depeche mode album is certainly not an easy task. therefor, I won't be doing it. kthx.








MIKE PATTON

a revelation!

a renaissance man, god, call him what you will. I call him Mike Patton, because that's his name.
He is mostly famous for his work with that band Faith No More. They made this one song called Epic, and yes, it is pretty epic. They made one or two other songs as well, but they were not as epic as epic.
So while Patton was playing with his Faith No More bandy, he was making noise with Mr. Bungle,
his ??? project.

I say ???, because every album differs. the first one being very circus-metally, the second being very oceany, the third being very Hawaii...y. Mr. Bungle shot the man to experimental fame, putting his name on every crazy person's chewed-up lips. Since the late 90's he's released more music than any other person on the planet. this is a fact. no need to look it up.

Check out: Mr. Bungle - California
Faith No More - Angel Dust
Fantomas - Director's Cut
Tomahawk - Tomahawk






SOPHIE ELLIS-BEXTOR

she likes to boogie. me too!

She's british! she's hot! Her rhombus face may upset, even disturb younglings, but once you can handle the sheer beauty of that jawline, no war or genocide or aids-ridden baby could possibly upset you.

I'm not saying it's all about her looks. No no. Ever since Murder on the Dancefloor graced...well, dancefloors, I've been hooked. but never have I had the courage to get an album of hers. Until recently. The urge was too great, and I downloaded her latest album, 'Trip the Light Fantastic'. Expecting poppy dancey pop dance music, I was not left disappointed. Let this be a lesson to you all. If you want something gay, think about it for a few years, then do it.





Go ears! embrace!
