STREAM: Morrissey On Desert Island Discs

“Life is terribly serious, I find, and I think it’s better when you face it head on.”

“I would stand on a table and sing, as a six year old.”

You know, when I was little I used to save up my Saturday job money and buy bootleg CDs of Morrissey interviews. What difference a decade makes! Today’s kids don’t know how good they’ve got it.

Amazingly enough, I really cannot relate to this man at all anymore, although Vauxhall And I still sounds near perfect to me. Perhaps this is because I am no longer an angsty hormonal teenager, or a young man wading through echoes of one. Or maybe its because I like people now.

    Vauxhall and I is near perfect. Easily the best solo album. Thanks for posting this, I missed it on iPlayer

    honestly, everything he did after "the smiths" sucked for the most part… johnny marr totally made that band complete

    Don't think you can wipe out his entire solo back catalogue so sweepingly. There has been some undoubted turkeys, I agree, but albums such as Vauxhall & I and Your Arsenal, and songs like Everyday is Like Sunday and Last of the Gang to Die will stand the test of time. Maladjusted and Kill Uncle are probably best consigned to the dustbin of history with Woolworths though… The Smiths were known for the occassional turkey too – Shoplifters??
