  Seven Songs for the Week #77 - 25th Sep 24

  Jason Carty

  Yeah, that Morrissey. This song has appeared in the wild twice in the past few weeks, and, gosh darn it, it's wonderful. This week a group called Sponge released a cover of it ahead of an album of songs from 1994 called 1994. I listened to the cover and it is not good. I didn't want a west coast ska punk version of this track, I wanted a carbon copy of the original.

  Moz has made many people, including myself, uncomfortable in recent years with his support of far right English political types. Having said that, the subset of people who voice support for Tommy Robinson and endorse Hilary Clinton is probably a party of one. His recent escapades where he (1) Claimed Johnny Marr had trademarked The Smiths behind his back and might tour as The Smiths without him only to find out that (2) Yes, JM trademarked the name in 2018 when he realised it was unprotected but had done so in the interests of himself and Morrissey and to prove it he has been waiting the guts of a year for Moz to return the signed paperwork to ensure joint ownership, which led to Moz (3) Firing his management staff... all indicates that maybe he's not as smart as we give him credit for.
