If anybody has any suggestions on new music to pick up, please pass it along. I’ve been on the hunt for some new bands but, after getting burned in the past with overly-hyped hipster flavors of the month, I’m a little timid when it comes to spending my hard earned cash. Bloc Party? Death From Above? The Kaiser Chiefs? Any and all recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
So, I spent last night devouring some damn-fine homemade seitan burritos (the secret is to add juice from a lime) while watching Morrissey’s new live DVD film, Who Put the M in Manchester which documents Mozzer’s homecoming birthday performance at the MEN arena in Manchester. The set list is top notch, with songs from every stage of his career including some rare Smith’s gems like The Headmaster Ritual It’s good to see that the old man’s still got it and that he’s not just coasting into some reclusive Los Angeles retirement. His voice sounds as fine as ever and he even opened the show with a few bars from SInatra’s My Way The bonus footage contains an intense and heart-wrenching piece of PETA propaganda entitled “Meet Your Meat” which I highly recommend as well. It’ll definitely make you think twice about what you put down your pie-hole.
