Morrissey - Autobiography

Morrissey, has 'mentioned' on the Janice Long show (Radio 6 show in the UK) that he is currently writing/thinking of writing (delete as you wish) his autobiography that covers his music career, in an effort to maybe 'correct some truths'

"So much crap is written about me, it's hard to live with sometimes," he said. "It all gets burned down in history and becomes a part of your legacy."

If however 'Morrissey's true 'Legacy' sees the 'light of day' - well,..... we will see.........

A Woman in Berlin (2008)

A new film from Germany is aiming to open up old wounds over the 'allied liberation' of Berlin by the 'Red Army' in 1945.
A tale not familiar to modern ears - but a brutal truth hidden in the 'shadows' for nearly 70 years.

Bloc Party - Talons Lyrics

Talons (Acoustic Version) lyrics



And in the dark it comes for me
Malevolent and without thought
Uprooting trees, destroying cars
Cold and relentless, with arms outstretched

No boat nor brick
Nor crucifix can hold it back
For I've been wicked
I've been arrogant

And when it comes it will feel like a kiss (Silent about it)
And when it comes it will feel like a kiss
And I cannot say that I was not warned or was misled
And when it comes it will feel like a kiss

Awaken from dreams of drunken car crashes
You saddened my friends and claimed all my lovers
I tried to stay still, so it will not see
It's talons rake the side of my face
When did you become such a slut? (A dirty slut)

And when it comes it will feel like a kiss
And when it comes it will feel like a kiss
And I cannot say that I was not warned or was misled
And when it comes it will feel like a kiss
It will feel like a kiss

And I didn't think I'd catch fire when I held my hand to the flame
And I didn't think they'd catch up as fast as we could have run
Fate came a knocking when I was looking the other way
A new disease came in the post for me today
For me today,for me today,for me today

And when it comes it will feel like a kiss
Silent and velvet
And when it comes it will feel like a kiss
And when it comes
And when it comes
And when it comes
And when it comes
And when it comes
And when it comes
And when it comes it will feel like a kiss


(Bloc Party 2008)

Note the 'Standard release of this single - is nothing at all in 'mood' like this version, in my opinion this is the superior release.

Films of note....

"Die welle" (The Wave)
A dictatorship experiment at school goes wrong ....echoes of 'Das Experiment' anyone?

"Gomorra" Guardian Film Review here
Even the trailer is hard to watch..... makes the Godfather mafia look like chivalrous Knights of old.....Trailer.

Thought

There is no hope anymore.....
