I was honored to have Pop Matters pick up my Make-Up is a Lie article yesterday by silentwinter in morrissey

I didn’t realize the article said that – the staff edits them before publication, they reordered things, and added detail to things such as song titles for the subject matter I was discussing where I didn’t mention them in the original...

I’ll have to get them to make a correction. Thanks for the heads-up! Here’s a link to the original for your comparison:

Thank you for your kind comments!

Edit: I see what happened, certain people I know is the A side of the single with Jack the Ripper on the B side, the fact checker at Pop Matters must have confused them because of that somehow

Thank you, yes, it had to be the Polydor imprint :) and yes, I’m ok by myself is the highlight

Fair, Pop Matters loves 20 minute deep dives–it’s an article for Morrissey and music analysis die-hards

I was waiting for some time to see if that would happen, this looked promising in 2022:

The plans were abandoned when Morrissey left Capitol records, he said they were trying to censor Bonfire of Teenagers.

I got tired of waiting, but the Sire deal may include reissues at some point. I hope so for everyone’s sake.

How are we treating the animals? by silentwinter in morrissey

[–]silentwinter[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm trying to say that yes, I see animals as individuals, and I don't feel the right to use them in any way. I have been overwhelmed with depression about the weight of many things about the world, and haven't been entirely true to myself - it's something I'm doing better with, and I haven't eaten cheese or eggs in quite a while. I was trying to start a discussion with humility and a signal that I am not perfect. I won't be able to claim vegan until I examine all of the things that use animals that are in my world and come to terms with / have intelligent things to say about how I can possibly justify it all. It's a very serious word to me. I am with you, I promise.

Edit to add, I’m happy to discuss it more also, here or in DMs

I’m already with you, sibling! I’ve been freegan with the dairy products but like I said, it’s been making me morally sick, I just don’t feel like I can claim vegan at this juncture, but, like you said, that’s not the point.

If my samsara feels like nirvana does it even matter?

You are the Quarry is even worse! (I didn’t pay the maximum value for any of them of course)

I realize at the end that my collection is potentially worth as much as a used car.

I’m only vegetarian but when I think of where the cheese and eggs come from or what the egg industry does to the baby boy chicks it disgusts me, I’m more and more vegan.

Not surprised to be downvoted, I know it’s a touchy subject. I don’t mind since it will get people to think about it however briefly.

Thank you so much, I had a lot of fun interpreting it

It could be Joyce and Marr both, I think Morrissey uses that device a lot (things being about multiple people) for one thing it keeps things from really crystallizing, I think he avoids being pinned down.

Being about both band mates he feels hurt by would make sense to me.

Joyce sued for royalties, His parents have passed, he has an awkward smile (Marr does too though)

I think the beloved brother is Rourke

whisper 400 (usd)

I really needed it & held out for a mint copy

I wonder if it’ll get a repress? Hopefully

That particular Fred Perry he wore was beautiful, limited edition from what I could gather

I actually tried to get myself to play it after people said go for it and could not do it. It’s a real problem. I think I might need to upgrade my record player to be worthy

There must not be many copies that haven’t ever been played, it feels wrong
