Morrissey's Wobbling Voice

[dotinthesky]

I just heard Morrissey's new single "That's How People Grow Up" on BBC Radio 6 (best radio station in the world EVAH, in case you didn't know).

The song starts with a dramatic opera singer, reminiscent of Klaus Nomi (whom Morrissey loved - intentional reference?) before the song properly kicks off. It sounds like a single from his "Viva Hate", "Bona Drag" period.

I like. Then again, I can't take the blinders off when it comes to him.

Sounds great, I'll have to track it down when I get home. Did you manage get tickets to see him at the Roundhouse?

I heard ot for the first time on Jonathan Ross on Saturday and was running around trying to figure out what it was and then googled and found out it was new. I heard it again this morning on Wogan and was gonna post about it but you beat me to it. I love it! but then again, like you, I kinda love it all.

Mozza track

i heard it on Radio 2 last week but it took a couple of days to find out what it was called. Classic Morrissey. Not sure if i'd like it as much if it was by anyone else though... like you, i have blinkers

Oh, I can. But then, I didn't discover him as an impressionable teen. I really didn't like the last album. Aram prefers the era you're talking about, so perhaps he'll like this album. He's a pretty heavy Smiths-ist, though.

i love any contemporary music that includes classical/operatic themes.

I like too. Morrissey knows how to "grow up" gracefully...
