I am absolutely loving this podcast at the moment. I have gone back and listened to all of the previous episodes. I'm going to subscribe to the patreon soon. Thank you so much for putting this content out. I was beginning to think I was the only Morrissey obsessive in my age group, lol. Greetings, from Ohio!
I love Nanny Val and her takes on Morrissey songs. She always makes me think of the songs differently than before. I also loved your analysis of Life is a Pigsty. I’ve heard that song so many times but you brought something new to it. Very thoughtful. Also, I appreciate how, even though you clearly love Morrissey and are devoted fans, you take a journalistic approach when discussing some of the controversy that’s come up. You keep it positive but honest and genuine. Thank you for another fantastic podcast!
Excellent interview with Mr. Whyte! Been a fan since he first teamed up with Moz. He wrote many great songs that will live on forever. I was happy when they reunited in recent years. I guess you didn't want to ask directly, but any sense as to why they parted ways once again?
Mad that the reunion hype has been growing in the year since Andy died. There's no Smiths without Andy IMO, he was almost as important as Johnny to their sound.

Brave and decent of him to acknowledge that Morrissey has made some errors over recent years with some of the controversies. Also accurate to draw a distinction between 'The National Front Disco' and 'Notre Dame', the former being a rather good rock song about a silly, lost boy and the latter suggesting it's author is dredging the web for dubious conspiracy theories.
Morrisey and Alain Whyte should rework the music from Island of the Misfit Toys by the band Timothy Pure. There is something musically about that Misfit Toys album [the tracks The Engine Roars to Safe] that fits with what Morrissey and Alain Whyte have done in the past. Incorporate new lyrics and music. Matthew Still who produced the album also engineered for Elton John. Alain or Morrissey should get in touch with him.
really really interesting, thanks for the great interview !
I saw Alain play with Morrissey last year, best gig ever.
It’s a shame we don’t see him on stage with the gang anymore, seems like a really chill guy.
Alain seems like a lovely chap. God bless you Alain.

Oh wow, I love that The Edges Are No Longer Parallel is his favourite.

Yo beta males. I saw the SMITHS on the queen is dead tour at age 12. Alain is amazing.
Does Morrissey write the actual melody of his songs or does the songwriter he works with compose that and he just adds his lyrics.
Or is it both??
Brave and decent of him to acknowledge that Morrissey has made some errors over recent years with some of the controversies. Also accurate to draw a distinction between 'The National Front Disco' and 'Notre Dame', the former being a rather good rock song about a silly, lost boy and the latter suggesting it's author is dredging the web for dubious conspiracy theories.
I think Morrisey and JM should reform as 'Johnny Morriss.'
And just do animal impersonations over footage of zoo animals
Why does the Morrissey solo forum always get roasted on this podcast? I like it there. Everyone's been nice to me on that forum.
Morrisey and Alain Whyte should rework the music from Island of the Misfit Toys by the band Timothy Pure. There is something musically about that Misfit Toys album [the tracks The Engine Roars to Safe] that fits with what Morrissey and Alain Whyte have done in the past. Incorporate new lyrics and music. Matthew Still who produced the album also engineered for Elton John. Alain or Morrissey should get in touch with him.
