because that’s what he’s known for

February 16, 2007

here’s another example of what’s wrong with music journalism and the internet. some idiot at ‘contact music’ wrote an article about the ‘morose singer,’ morrissey getting set to revamp his image for an upcoming album. it goes on to mention that he is “best known for tracks including girlfriend in a coma and you have killed me .” i am quite sure that when people think of il mozzalini, neither of those songs are the first that come to mind; though in writing an article to explain how ‘morose’ he is they might. after discussing with motu, we both agreed that please please please let me get what i want, suedehead, i know it’s over, heaven knows i’m miserable now, and how soon is now? are probably his saddest songs, and also much more well known than the two the ‘journalist’ mentioned.

since it’s friday and nothing really ever gets done on fridays, here’s a list of all the smiths songs with discussion from smiths/morrissey (probably acne plagued teens) fans discussing the meanings of all of their songs
