Good stuff, been listening to his new album over the past few weeks. Should have seen him live but missed his support slot with NIN.[/quote]

I saw him 2 years ago in London - he is awesome live!

He's performing @ Cargo - London in February as part of the London word festival....

Good call!

The Real Me and 5.15 are stone cold killers!

I heared that played on the radio yesterday and thought that it was bloody awful, especially when compared to some of his other stuff.

Would have to agree Bruce...granted I haven't heard much Morrissey solo before, but compared to his Smith days its darn atrocious.

and, in May 1998, a couple of thousand Wanderers fans who'll never forget the hosts scoring a second against their fans' wishes.

The first solo album was good, save for one really dire track. Haven't liked much he's done since, meself. Shame really - the Smiths stuff was top notch.

As an aside, I see Lloyd Cole is playing the Albert Halls down your way in April, if that's anyone's bag.

Which? I think we've surprised each other with our mutual musical unreadability before, but... Late Night, Maudlin Street?

Solo stuff since patchy, but there have been the odd highlights - November Spawned A Monster, The Last of the Famous International Playboys and You're the One for Me, Fatty - but there was a lean decade between The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get and First of the Gang to Die. And while little of that could expect to shine off a Smiths album, I could happily go quite some time without rehearing Death of a Disco Dancer, Never Had No One Ever or Well I Wonder...

Just watched "Legends-Ella Fitzgerald " my lifetime favourite female singer. Amazing woman, died in 1996 at 79 shortly after having both legs amputed. Made a fortune and spent much of it helping under-priveleged kids. Made hundreds of immaculate records and had the most amazing voice ever for me. True legend.

I think I've mentioned before, Tango, that my mother is/was a great fan of Ella Fitzgerald and as such we'd regularly have her stuff playing in the house. Of course, as a get-this-shit-off-and-get-some-Boomtown Rats-on type of teenager I never really appreciated what I was hearing until I got a little older. A truly remarkable singer.

until a best of comes out 'The Colour And The Shape' is a good place to start, should you want to

Bruce Rioja · Post by **Bruce Rioja** » Sun Feb 03, 2008 9:40 am

I'd say that 'the best of the Foo Fighters' is There Is Nothing Left To Lose.

I don't mind Well I Wonder but I concur with your opinions of the other two. Don't like Shopfitters Of The World either. Late Night On Maudlin Street is a great track. Bengali In Platforms is that has me reaching for skip track button on Viva Hate.
