I know he's someone who splits affections here, but I thought I'd mention I saw Morrissey last night at the rock'n'roll capital that is Llandudno! Pretty good, too - it was certainly good to see him so close up in a small venue (500-ish). Opened brilliantly with First of the Gang, Still Ill and latest single You Have Killed Me, though the set sagged a little bit after that as it was perhaps too reliant on the new album. Still some of it worked really well - notably I Will See You In Far-off Places and his vocals were particularly excellent on Life Is A Pigsty (and Let Me Kiss You, too). The set ended in a pretty darn fine manner with How Soon Is Now - they also played Girlfriend in a Coma from The Smiths days - before they came back to do Irish Blood... for an encore. I would have liked a bit anothert song or two at this point, but if you believe in the 'leave the audience wanting more' manifesto, then he certainly succeeded in this way. He was on good form in himself too - I particularly liked his addressing a Welsh audience with his "I forgive you for the Stereocronics" line, whilst perhaps the most surprising moments was a cover of Magazines Song From Under The Floorboards, though with it's 'as ugly as sin' line it sounded like something that Moz might have written! Yeah. A good gig! PS Support act Sons & Daughters were pretty good in a stomping kind of way, too!! ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Apr 2006 13:36:43 +0200 From: "Mileta Okiljevic" Subject: [idealcopy] OT-Morrisey Keith A and cohorts.. anyone's opinion of new Morrisey?

It got good reviews over here, and to start off with I didn't think it lived up to them. It's less commercial and snappy than You Are The Quarry, and wasn't necessarily what I expected a Tony Visconti produced Moz album to sound like (I wasn't exactly expecting a dour Mancunian take on Metal Guru, but...hey maybe I was!!). But it's got a depth to it that sounds like it's going to repay repeated plays. He certainly could have played it easier. He played Song From Under The Floorboards, complete with Magazine-like keyboard at one point.

I got Not To when it came out (I think one review described it as being the nearest we'd get to the 4th Wire studio album). And I have to say that back then my impatient teenage mind used to get pretty brassed off with the way Lorries just wouldn't finish, that refrain just going over and over (bit like a few of the tracks on the album). Now I just wish it would carry on getting more and more hysterical. Always liked Blue Jay Way too - like the way the drums kick in a la The Other Window and kind of pull the squall together. And just this evening I revisted Gilbert/Hampson/Kendall's Orr for the first time in years and found some excellent stuff, and then moved onto The Drill (selections thereof) . I'd forgotton how much I like Do You Drive? and the Berlin Drill remix.
