Thursday September 13th 2018 - Day 2556 - Excited!
These past two days has seen me do very little other than binge-listen to LP's fourth LP, Lost On You - WHAT AN ALBUM! WHAT A VOICE! WHAT A WHISTLER! I have no idea how I have never heard of this wonderful artist before, but now that I have, I am filling my boots. Once I've exhausted Lost On You; which may be some time yet, I will move onto LP's first three LPs - for now, Morrissey's music can take a back seat. My favourite songs from the album so far are: Lost On You (which has had an incredible 213 million plays on Youtube and 117 million plays on Spotify.... plus 128 million views for a 'live in session' version on Youtube ), Switchblade, Suspicion, Tightrope, Strange, Up Against Me and my very favourite, Other People.
LP AND MORRISSEY
LP has a 'TCB' (Taking Care of Business) tattoo on her arm, which I am presuming is a nod to Elvis (as opposed to a nod to Liam Gallagher who has a similar tattoo), so I can't help but wonder if Morrissey and LP have worked together on an Elvis song for the Covers album. I would dearly love for You'll Be Gone to be on the album, but it is probably just wishful thinking on my part.
The main reason I am blogging today is not actually because of my new found love of LP, nor just as an excuse to post pictures of Elvis, I'm blogging because Morrissey (as Feeble Fed) took to Twitter at 1.07am this morning (6.07pm yesterday LA time) and linked to a Youtube clip of the song Miss Sarajevo by U2, Brian Eno and Pavarotti. This can't be a random act, and must therefore surely mean one of four things:
A) Morrissey is going to cover a U2 song
B) Morrissey is going to cover a Brian Eno song
C) Morrissey is going to cover a Pavarotti song
D) Morrissey is to play a concert in Sarajevo
My money would be on either B or D.... or maybe both! In an interview given by Our Mozzer last April, one of the questions I asked him was which eight songs he would choose if he were to go on Desert Island Discs again, and among the answers was Backwater by Brian Eno - could Moz have recently covered this song?
ENO
Whilst he was in The Arms, M also tweeted to me regarding the book publication of FTM. I have (jokingly?) mentioned a number of times over the years that I will release FTM as a book in 2035, and was discussing this with Jo (@lifeisapigsty_) and Wolf (@wolf66_m) yesterday. M obviously saw our conversation (Ed - he sees EVERYTHING!) and tweeted, "I must push back to 2045". I replied that the only thing he and I will be pushing in 2045 will be daisies, in an upwards motion.
Feeble Fed's only other tweet was another one to me, replying to my tweet that there are only 52 days to go until Morrissey is back on stage. He replied, "Merely a flutter".
Another tweeter, Mai (@poppymai7), also replied to my tweet about Morrissey returning to the stage, asking, "But when will he return to Manchester?" I would imagine that as Manchester failed to stand up to Dave Hassle Haslam and discredit him before he could do the damage he did, then the answer is probably NEVER! Manchester let Moz down.
And finally, Feeble Fed also left a message in my DM box last night with regard to the new Covers album: "The first completed play has excited me." It's excited me too, and I haven't even heard it!
*Goes off singing* I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it, I'm about to lose control and I think I like it.
