      @@kpec3, "Get" is an insult term. You can hear it in The Beatles "I'm So Tired" on the 'White Album' ("The Beatles" LP) - "I curse Sir Walter Raleigh/ He was such a stupid get!" Lennon has a go at Raleigh because he has just lit up another cigarette, as Raleigh introduced tobacco to the Old World.
      "4-hesian" - not sure. But could be a drunkard way of saying "four-eyed", because Morrissey wore NHS glasses. So he is calling Morrissey a "four-eyed get".
      Londoners say "git" whilst Scousers and other Northerners go with "get".

    With some additions, a fuller transcript, for historians of the future:"Here's another one for the Morrisey fans. I had to do an interview with that chump. ...uh, I'm larruped again in this one. We did it in the Adelphi, funnily enough. [inaudible] 82, 'who's this [forhesion??] get?' talking in an extremely rare accent. So I was larruped on the ale big time, pissed like a bastard. And I was being interviewed by this interviewer for... I'd ...never heard of this fellow, you know. And uh, waffling on (all night). i said, 'if I do this co-interview with this no-mark - and in those days, he was. He was on the up, you know. and I ordered the biggest piece of meat. like, I think it was duck. I think that's from the thing on the mouth [Mimes duck's bill]. And he ordered fish, and I'm thinking, '___, that's hardly vegetarian... Unless...even if you stuff it with full of peas. And it had it's head on, the fish. It was made up, and the tail. and I said to him, 'is it alright if I eat duck?' and he went, 'yeah, it's alright.' I said, 'do you want a pint?" and he didn't want one. And we got out of the interview and we...and I was asked about Liverpool and Manchester, and I said I love Manchester groups. I think the Bunnymen were always more suited to the Manchester kind of thing. And then he goes, I hear him - I'm all over the shop, bladdered - and he goes, [attempts accent] 'there's a kind of terrific chasm between Liverpool and Manchester.' Chasm! It spoils it for me. You know. I can never read any books with chasm in it ever again....Which is handy because I don't read books."

    It was kind of a funny interview. Even if I only understood 25% of it. I'm Mancunian and I usually have no problem understanding Scousers.

      @@warmswarm is new wave even the right term? I consider his music post punk, or at least certainly those classic first 4, though I guess even on ocean rain that’s less the style of it. I mean, I know it can get a bit BS to talk like these genres are set in stone, but I at least consider post punk and new wave to not be the same things.. it’s arguable that new wave isn’t a genre even, but then I’m saying all this as someone born in 1987, so I wasn’t there when these things were actually happening.
      At any rate, he’s not even the best post punk innovator, even if I think they’re responsible for a couple of the absolute best post punk albums and singles. They didn’t innovate, so much as they perfected some things. That’s my opinion, anyway..
