What has he sold out?  He has been flirting with racism and its imagery for over 25 years now,  The Smiths were active for 5.  Even back then his media was totally thought out.  That's such a wank thing to say, "he stands for himself". So do I, so do you. Obviously. But, as popular as the Smiths were, he, whether he tried to or not, ended up with a fanbase who looked up to him. He was, for better or worse, a "spokesman" for his livly livered, cardigan-clad poetry writing fanbase. That bloody awful poetry! Why are you letting him off the hook just because you like the Smiths? I'm listening to There Is a Light That Never Goes Out now, but for fuck's sake, call your man out when he's being a prick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 That's because Jim Waite was correct.  EDIT - @Brewster McCloud I'm addressing your your point that Albarn is as inept as Morrissey.  I'm pointing out that Morrissey is far from inept and how your comparison doesn't work.  I'm not letting off the hook at all because I'm not defending him.

Brewster McCloud Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Aye, fair enough. It all depends on how you define "adept" I suppose. You're right that Moz is a worker, but then - I hate to keep banging this drum - why work yourself into being such an awful person? Really, I think that some of the things he said in the past were great, to grab headlines in the music press - but now? I don't think he has a clue how he's coming across. And, if he does, then that's just shit.  Christ, at least he's not Belle and fucking Sebastian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though my position is clouded by when I worked for the Council and Jim 'using the scanner is really fun' Waite and the other people who had been there since the mid 80's insisted on putting it on every day religiously. A million downvotes, Ken Bruce is the fucking man.

Marcus was also a wrestling fan and all of us honest UKFF'ers out there must recognise that we we NEVER be cool, even if we try to fool ourselves by growing a neck beard and wearing a baseball cap the wrong way round.

This has reminded me that Alex James deserves a nomination. Alex James deserves his own section. I like music, I like the 90s, I bloody love cheese and this man makes me embarrassed about all three every time his goofy looking grin and Dad dancing vibes appear anywhere on my television because he still thinks he's 'hip' to the kids.
