Summary…

‘it’s all about the money’

am I right?

 

[Anonymous]

Iron Bridge’s image was used for a possible Veronica single cover. At the time Morrissey was teasing a release of that. Presume Pop Dropped would be his choice for a lead single for the new album. Is there any communication between Camp Moz and
Iron Bridge? Have his images ever been used for official releases? They are certainly good enough.

There is a play between pessimism and optimism on this thread, with both camps having reasonable justifications. There are some promising signs here, but not enough to raise our hopes without risk of disappointment.

Without Music is not locked up in any contractual dispute. It could drop this year, providing all parties are flexible. More soaring tour dates and an album lined up for Q4 2023 would boost Moz nicely.

Today's record mock-ups, tomorrow's record company cock-ups...

The Morrissey solo career in the Twenties.

 

[Mayfly]

For a split, me too. Those first 2 mock ups done by Ironbridge are indeed tasty.

Same hete, thought for a second that the night pop would be dropped as a single and I was just wondering whether it would make a good single.

 

[Anonymo]

Can anybody capable of doing it please shut down mockerycentral.com aka the sycophant nephew's digital playground?

 

[🐈🐈🐈]

Who let his art department loose with the photoshop….

 

[ACTON]

Got unbelievably excited for a second and then read the caption. UGH.

I saw it, clicked on it, in those couple of seconds waiting for it to open my brain got ready to be disappointed, and when it opened my rapidly declining eyesight fekin blurred out on me and I had to hold the phone further away to confirm my disappointment. Where are my reading glasses when I need them? (In italics as it's sure to be the title of Moz's next unreleased album, err after the other two albums).

 

[ACTON]

I think I know how he feels to be honest,

I feel like a kindred spirit, really. We both regularly sit on the sofa with a pint glass of vodka and moan about not being richer

A sofa? You lucky .......!

I know Morrissey mentioned in some interview somewhere that he wasn't the biggest fan of his current physique etc. (quite understandable, few of us are thrilled with the rigors (and rigor mortis) of time, but I still find myself puzzled that he gravitates towards pictures of hi is much younger self in official releases and fan mock-ups (low in high school Deluxe Edition sleeves for instance, and even California Son and the DogHead appear to be at least 15 or so years old, from the quarry/ringleader era. I'd much rather have interesting artwork self-referential artwork that draws from 2023 Morrissey as he appears.. All the merch is similarly 15-25 years old - at least from a Moz image perspective

He seems in fine shape, with as strong of a concert fashion identity as he's ever had. I don't understand, why with his music is increasingly headline oriented very much giving his take on particular discrete contemporary events, he insists on going back to his own past for self-referential iconography

Even the snippets that go around on Instagram as what seemed to be official sizzle reels (shared by Jesse et all else are from bygone eras of the band, featuring band members that haven't been in the lineup in some cases for years and certainly aren't now. He has plenty of more recent concert footage and plenty of live audio for a more up-to-date and accurate summation of the current tour. I wish he would lean into those things more.

He looks the best he's looked in years at the moment. He looked absolutely fantastic at Cruel World last year and there are some gorgeous photos of him from those gigs that he should use.

 

[Johnnie Ray]

Can someone please explain what has happened to Moz.

Everything used to be so..... just so.

I can only assume Sam is blackmailing him.

Everything since YoR has gone to shit, sure there's been some good songs, decent gigs, but it's as if Moz died in about 2010 and they replaced him with Paul McCartney.

I just don’t understand anymore.

Welcome. We've been waiting for you.

 

[Johnnie Ray]

Summary...

I've been mistreated in a bad way by all those people who have the money. I deserve that money. I can't believe the people with the money don't recognise my relevenace and give me some money to record several albums with money that is not mine. Because I deserve it.

Never mind that I deliberately alienated 75% of my fanbase and you will lose your ass when my albums flop! Oh by the way, I get to publicly blame you when that happens, now shut up and sign me, already!

 

[Johnnie Ray]

Once more: WHY DO YOU COME HERE WHEN YOU HATE HIM SO MUCH?!

First amendment, baby. WHY ARE WE YELLING?!

 

[Johnnie Ray]

The Night Pop Dropped...dropped?

 

[Young And Alive]

Once more: WHY DO YOU COME HERE WHEN YOU HATE HIM SO MUCH?!

And whyyyyyyyyyy…why does he hang around?

 

[No 27]

I can only assume Sam is blackmailing him.

Knowing now how so many aging celebrities are eventually discredited, your assumption doesn't seem entirely implausible. "Sam" seems hellbent on humiliating oddball Uncle Steven, and Uncle Steven seems powerless to stop it.

One point for spelling his name right. Minus 10,000 maniacal points for the rest of it.

Or go for classic imagery like he used to with The Smiths. Just two from Night Of The Hunter.

 

[BrokenFrame]

I thought this was real for second and got excited, so pointless.
