That's actually a really bad photo. She's better looking than that.

Yeah. Really need a video so you can see the hair properly.

Precisely.

The best hair on radio.

No surprises in his song selection. Good choice of a bed for the desert island, though the sleeping pills were also a good idea.

I love Kirsty Young. She's got a lovely voice and really nice hair. She was good on HIGNFY too

Missed this tho I think it's repeated during the day on Monday

i caught a bit of this, there was a punky song that sounded vaguely familiar, what was it?

 

[Biffo]

Only review I could find do far

Gossip is "New York Dolls, Sparks, Klaus Nomi and The Ramones"

...which would have made it identical to his Under The Influence compilation CD from 2003: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Under-Influence-Morrissey/dp/B000095IZA/ref=ntt_mus_ep_dpi_lnk

 

[lunatrick]

hmm not very satisifying - I love his music but as a person he's just annoying and hard to know how much to believe really. Also thought his musical selection whilst containing some ok tracks as a pointer to his influences pretty much sucked...I loved listening to the VU and Nico as much as the next man in my teenage years, but on a desert island? no way.

I just caught it on the iPlayer. Great to hear him so relaxed and even chatty - some credit for which must go to Kirsty Young (liked her description of her own reaction to The Smiths first appearance on Top of the Pops).


I'm glad he's reached that st/age of life. Worth 45 mins if you have the time.

 

[Shevek]

I listened. I used to be a massive Smiths fan and I do regularly play some of his solo stuff online. I did find him a bit annoying and contrarian in person. I don't think I would get on with him personally which makes me a bit sad as I do admire him.

I found his comments on vegetarianism very moving. He said he didn't want to live in a world where there are abbatoirs. Which made me question my own meat eating habits.
