"How I Long to Feel That Summer in My Heart" is great, but I seem to only listen to it once a year or so, then forget about it. Strange. Maybe I should raise a glass of Penderyn Welsh Single Malt to their memory. Or not.

I'd like to add Hank III's "Straight to Hell," Adrian Belew's "Side Three," and T-Bone Burnett's new CD. Factor in rumors of a Genesis revival, and throw in the recent treasure trove of Johnny Cash, and the incipient Bjork super-box set, and I'm happier than Eb is when he gets his Christmas letter from Morrissey! - --Quail PS: WOW!!!! OK, I'm working, right? And my iPod is on shuffle. I have some 9000 songs in there. And write as I sign my name, Morrissey's "I Will See You in Far Off Places" pops up. Aieee!

I like to listen to GZM while I read Soldier of Fortune. Anyone here have Sleep/Holiday? I still haven't heard this.

I love them both but can't think of which is which). The other albums have left me cold, although I haven't listened to them in earnest, and I have probably only heard one or two tracks off of the way later ones. Might the new one interest me? Hmm. No Morrissey, Eb? Not even Smiths. Ouch.

Hmm. > > No Morrissey, Eb? Not even Smiths. Ouch. It's not a case of the Smiths being "'80s jangle-pop" so much...in fact, I think their music has aged extremely well, for what it is. It's more a case of them having a godawful sense of melody and that Morrissey's voice makes me wanna claw my eyes out.

I love them both but can't think of > which is which). Viva Hate is the first solo album; Bona Drag is more or less a compilation of a-sides and half the b-sides of the singles he released from 1988-1990, although "Will Never Marry" has the last minute faded off for some reason. "Suedehead," "Hairdresser on Fire," and "Everyday is Like Sunday" are on both. "A severed foot is the ultimate stocking stuffer." -- Mitch Hedberg . Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Hmm. > > No Morrissey, Eb? Not even Smiths. Ouch. I don't know--I think I'm more with Eb on this one. There is something...cloying about Morrissey's voice that is like nails on a chalkboard for me. I like Smiths songs, but mostly as covers and not as originals, because of this.

Our own dear Nuppy was married off this afternoon, by me, to the lovely Tanya. It was a truly beautiful experience with lots of alcohol. Woohoo!
