Releases: 'MORRISSEY / THE SMITHS' - Upset! The Rhythm

UTR034 | 7" | 2 tracks, 7 mins | November 2009

It doesn't get much more obvious than this, does it? Two like-minded experimental pop groups - who share a great deal of personal history and an unhealthy, often frustrating obsession with the works of one Steven Patrick Morrissey - come together to cover a couple of songs. Why hasn't this happened already? Is there an emoticon for "duh"? Because, well, duh!

But sometimes first thought really is best thought. Take, for example, this particularly choice split, right? Celebrating the first half century of our beloved Bigmouth, acclaimed Moz acolytes XIU XIU completely eviscerate one of Morrissey's most effective paeans to righteous self-loathing - the punishing, Gameboy-composed assault of solo weeper "I Am Hated For Loving".

Likewise, you've got Portland, Oregon's premiere pantywaists PARENTHETICAL GIRLS appearing here perhaps at their ballsiest — embracing the muted violence of early, under-represented Smiths masterpiece "Handsome Devil".

If only all things could be this simple.

The Parenthetical Girls cover is currently playable on their MySpace page.

Kewpie sends the links (via Morrissey reddit):

Why Morrissey was right to walk off after being hit by a bottle at the Echo Arena – and what it says about Liverpool by Lee Barker - Liverpool Echo, originally posted by CharlieFairhead in the forums (original post).

NME calls Morrissey "...a petulant little child..." - original post by Uncleskinny:

In response to a letter about the Liverpool Echo debacle, this is what the letters editor, Rebecca Robinson, had to say, in superb reportage-style weasel words...

"While not insisting that our pop stars should have to put up with taking a bottle full on the bonce there are some who have questioned whether Moz is a petulant little child in this instance. Fans have paid silly money to see their idol, who then walks off taking the moral high ground with him along with the sympathy of the fans. So who's been most hurt here? - RR"

For What it's worth, the latest episode of Gossip Girl made several prominent mentiones of Morrissey.

Characters involved in a very contentious plotline made plans to go to the Morrissey show at the Bowery. The backstory was that they had seen him together 5 times, recalling how they threw gladiolas at the stage the first time they saw him (when they were in Grade 7).

Perhaps not Masterpiece Theatre, but several prominent mentions on a well-known US show...

There were many references to Morrissey on the Cw's Gossip Girl, monday night. Probably influenced by Hilary Duff, who is a special guest star on the show.
