Very sad indeed.

I love it too but it's completely flat compared to their live set.

I don't think anyone did!

Thanks Norman! The comment section here is very helpful :D

Thanks Patrick!

It was the compilation 'The World Won't Listen' for me 🙂

Not on the vinyl anyway - see Discogs or see my other comment on this page

Ah, who can forget where they were when they first heard Godstar. That G.P.O, must've been psychic. See what I did there 🙂

@@jfergs.3302 Thanks! I can still remember it vividly. It was in the narrow room we turned the spare toilet into, during the second big cold front of 2023, a few hours before load shedding kicked in. There was a beautiful video that went with the music, which brought some warmth into the cold room, and for a moment distracted me from incessant thoughts about whether it must have snowed up in Lesotho and gave me a pause in the great inner debate over whether to shower and shiver, or just stink all nice and almost comfy.

@@sicko_the_ew Interesting... you paint a very vivid picture :) Rather prosaically, i heard it in my mates record store. Then saw the vid a few days later... ahhh, happy days.

There once was a band led by Morrissey Who’s music was average and chorussy As you can see Not my cup of tea I’d call it somewhat of a boressy

@@jaybird4093 That's the spirit, I'll drink to that!

yep, just like "There is a light that never goes out"

But it's probably also a reference to the book Loving by Henry Green - the real source of the "pantry boy" line. And the Green book revolves around the theft of a diamond ring...

@@trashandcheese3636 I wasn't aware of that. Now that makes more sense, thanks!

@@trashandcheese3636 Okay, I've just finished reading that book and there is nowhere at all does it have the phrase "jumped-up pantry boy who doesn't know his place". The words "pantry boy" occur a small number of times but always when referring to 'Raunce's Albert', the young man whose title actually is 'pantry boy'. Nowhere does anybody upbraid someone else with such a phrase, so I must revert to my original stance that it is taken from "Sleuth" (1972).

Robert Smith *hates* The Smiths! Or at least Morrissey! 😄 He wasn't impressed when he found out his keyboardist Roger O'Donnell was involved in the making of a movie about Morrissey, which Roger had tried to keep a secret from him, too! 😅

@@mightyV444 i know that! hahaha.

@@tbwatch88 - 😁👍 Ol' Bob did like Dinosaur Jr's cover of 'Just Like Heaven', though! He even liked it better than his original! 😄

Ditto. Best track on the album, a melancholic masterpiece.

@@jfergs.3302 это же очевидно

I never quite felt like "This Charming Man" fit on the album although I enjoy the song thoroughly. Now it all makes sense. I agree that Meat Is Murder is much better!

@@ijustneedmyself Yes, "This Charming Man" is clearly an intruder here, both in terms of sound and more bouncy style.

It's called camp, dear! 😅

@@boq780_2.0 Yes. camp, affected, call it what you want but I find his singing excessive most of the time. It works on some tracks but not always! (then it's a matter of personal taste). Anyway "This Charming Man" is far from bad !

@@a.k.1740 I agree, though I think my tolerance for his warblings is probably greater than yours. I do like character in a vocalist and he had plenty, although I have no time for his later incarnations…

tatty bye then

Much better than say, Taylor Swift, who is leaps and bounds more popular but not nearly as good.

Many worst music, and tons of better music too

that's a hell of an achievement
