Music books that are good

got me moz book thru today.

amazon usually include a bookmark.

but not this time.

chinese takeaway menu it is then.

Or you could use a piece of beef jerky, to piss him off

<<<< still bitter about Camden

no chapters and the pictures are just the odd one placed throughout the book.

did laugh at this though.

I don't see why everybody is whining about this, Morrissey has been a solo artist five times longer than the half a decade the Smiths were in existence. 70 Pages sounds more than enough.

I'm 80 per cent through. It's absolutely tremendous.

but apart from the smiths and his first solo album, who gives a single shiny fuck about anything else he's done, or has to say for that matter

moaning spunk sponge that he is


apparently he's the greatest wind up merchant in the history of pop music- if this is the case i want his book to be full of revealing anecdotes of him kicking back in his LA mansion, gorging himself on rare wagu beefburgers, snorting coke off the waxed nunnies of high class whores and watching all 7 Police Academies in 3D.

humasexual :wank:

I give a shiny fuck, Moz has had some excellent solo records & plenty of great singles along the way. Yes, Morrissey is a moaning spunk spunge, I don't always agree with everything he says but the fact he continues to deliver his opinions with such conviction makes him more interesting than 90% of artists about today. People moaning about Morrissey moaning in his autobiography is pretty hilarious. What else would you expect?

I guess they want something more about The Smiths, even if it's more moaning

The Moz bio is written in exactly the way I expected it to be. He hams up his poor Manchester childhood, then as soon as the Smiths start he starts taking the utter piss out everyone that's annoyed him. It's frequently hillarious and more often than not completely over the top, but as Mahoney said, FFS, it's Morrissey! And there's dozens of interesting nuggets of information about the Smiths throughout the book. The only real criticism I have is that he dedicates too many pages to the Mike Joyce court case, but his anger is so very real it's still entertaining to read.

sifting thru that stage now.

some glorious quotes.

and all ludicrously over the top.

Agreed. Best book I've read for a long time. Particularly loved his evisceration of thatcher.

Just found a book called 'Isle of Noises: conversations with great British songwriters' after googling for free sex the lyrics to a La's song. Anyone heard of it? Theres interviews with P. Weller, Johnny Marr, Dermot Oblong, reluctant beatle dwarf, Lee Mavers and Lily Allen + third nipple, and some more. Not bad tbh

I've heard about it, apparently the mavers interview is pretty revealing, at least for Lee anyway.

The unreleased songs are at 25% of their potential. Or something. Debunked the sixties dust thing and said he loved 'wigwam' of the The Sweet and all new musics shit. Anyway thats all in google. The Noel interview was pretty good by his standards, only repeated half of what he says in every other interview since '97.

Any chance of a scan of the Mavers interview?

there's excerpts here:

odd, since it's now displaying different pages than yesterday.
