It spells: M-O-R-R-I-S-S-E-Y

I bet you've seen a lot of miss-spellings of the King's name. The usual mistake people does is to leave out a R or a S. But I lately saw the most peculiar version of his name. Here it goes: "Morssay". Congratulations to whoever who wrote that. It must be the ugliest spelling ever.

The thing with the spelling is kind of a classic actually. Morrissey fans often get very annoyed at this, and that goes for me to I'm afraid. I don't know why but it is quite irritating. The ones that can't spell his name correctly is often people that don't like him and I can accept that. It's a whole other thing when people who claim to like him don't know how it's done. I can't really take them seriously. I know this sounds very weird but I'm sure the Moz fans knows what I'm talking about, ha ha. Morrissey himself also think that the spelling is rather important. I've seen him express some anger over record companies who have miss-spelled his name on record sleeves for example.

You know how he spells his first name Steven in the song "Ouija board". It would be kind of fun if he did the same thing with Morrissey. It might get people to learn how it's done once and for all.

My favorite tracks from Ringleader...

Morrissey released his brilliant album Ringleader of the tormentors earlier this year. I remember the day when I first listened to it, a holy moment indeed ha ha. I would like to share my three favourite tracks from the album with you.
1. Life Is a Pigsty - This is simply an amazing song with breathtaking lyrics. All the dramatic sound effects creates a very special feeling. It's truly hard to explain how good it is, especially in a language that I don't usually speak.

2. I'll Never Be Anybody's Hero Now - I love this song, despite that the track title is an utter lie. Morrissey is a hero to me as well as to many other people. I have read in forums that a lot of Morrissey fans don't like this song. I really can't understand why they feel that way.

3. Dear God Please Help Me - This is a beautiful ballad and I got quite chocked when I heard it the first time. It feels strange to hear Morrissey so....sexually outspoken. But then again I don't think that you always can interpret his lyrics literally.

I had a hard time picking these songs because all of the tracks from the album are very good. Buy the album if you don't have it already.

Morrissey doesn't like Christmas

Christmas Eve is coming up tomorrow and it feels quite strange. The Christmas spirit hasn't showed yet. I was recently wondering if Morrissey celebrates Christmas and I wasn't surprised when I found out that he doesn't. Lauren Laverne interviewed Morrissey a couple of weeks ago in her radio program. She asked him how he will be spending Christmas and he answered: I'll do what I normally do...try to completely avoid it. It seems reasonable, I can't really imagine him sitting under the Christmas tree and opening presents, something's wrong with that picture...

I didn't get the chance to listen to the interview because British radio is only available for people within UK. It's a pity because XFM seems to be a really good radio station with loads of interesting interviews and music.

Morrissey on Jonathan Ross

I thought I'd better come up with some proof to Morrissey's humorous side. These two videos will convince all of those people who think he's sad and depressed that he actually can be very funny.

Jonathan Ross interviewed Morrissey in 2004 on his popular television show "Friday Night With Jonathan Ross". I have watched this interview about 5 times and it always makes me laugh.

Part One:



Part Two

Morrissey IS funny

You often hear people complaining about how miserable and bitter Morrissey is, and that he has no sence of humor. I just can't understand that. Those people don't know much for sure. In fact, Morrissey is one of the most funniest people I know. He is always very witty and amusing in interviews and also in his lyrics. There is a line from the song King Leer that always make me smile. It goes Your boyfriend he went down on one knee, well could it be he's only got one knee? I was really surprised when I saw that this song ended up at #19 on some "worst lyrics"-chart. I think it's hilarious. Well, I don't laugh out loud when I hear it but I still think it's a brilliant line.

Other funny lyrics by Morrissey:

But ask me why, and I'll spit in your eye Oh, ask me why, and I'll spit in your eye - Still ill

She said : "Eh, I know you, and you cannot sing"I said : "That's nothing - you should hear me play piano" - The Queen is dead

How can you stay with a fat girl who'll say : "Oh ! Would you like to marry me ? "And if you like you can buy the ring" She doesn't care about anything Would you like to marry me ?And if you like you can buy the ring I don't dream about anyone - except myself ! - William it was really nothing

All I ask of you is one thing that you never do. Would you put your arms around me ? (I won't tell anyone) - Tomorrow

Here we go

This is my first attempt to write a blog in English, a bit of a challenge for me since it's not my mother tongue. So, when I make spelling and grammar mistakes, you know why. Who am I then? I live in Sweden in a small small town, well let's just say a village instead. I can't think of this place as a town really. What else, I'm 18 years old and I love music. That's pretty much what I will give away about my personal life. This blog will not be one of those digital diaries where people tells you everything about themselves. The title sums everything up. I will write about Morrissey, his music and everything about him. I am a huge fan of Morrissey and I listen to both his music and The Smiths practically everyday. I discovered Morrissey through my older sister. She had a Smtihs cd called "singles" and, I know it's strange but I didn't really liked what I heard the first time. I think I was to young. However, about a year later I listened to it again and I was thrilled and I still am. Once you start listen to Morrissey you're hooked for life.
