Photo: The Music Slut
Sure, there might be a lot of more “professional” shots from last night, but our friends with The Music Slut were much closer to the front at the Webster Hall Morrissey gig and, frankly, I think their pics have a bit more character. The set was great, the crowd was fantastic (save for a few incidents where people insisted that say “Ow” for having your foot stomped on made one a “meathead”) and Radio Exile had an awesome time. Sure, fellow RE editor Elie thinks Morrissey is whiny, but all-in-all, if you fronted a band that shares my last name, you get a free pass (and blind “idol worship”) from me.
Setlist and more “after the jump”
It was nice to finally get Morrissey off the list of “artists I adore but haven’t seen live”.
(Setlist) This Charming Man. Billy Budd. Black Cloud. How Soon Is Now. Irish Blood English Heart. Let Me Kiss You. I’m Throwing My Arms Around Paris. How Could Anybody Possibly Know How I Feel. Seasick Yet Still Docked. The Loop. I Keep Mine Hidden. One Day Goodbye Will Be Farewell. The World Is Full Of Crashing Bores. Mama Lay Softly On The Riverbed. Ask. Best Friend On The Payroll. Death Of A Disco Dancer. Sorry Doesn’t Help. Something Is Squeezing My Skull. I’m OK By Myself.
(Encore) First Of The Gang To Die.

Radio Exile is a work of love and devotion to this glorious, bloggy hype machine that can elevate the artists we love to stars. Consider this a sampling of what you "should" be listening to, and if you like what you hear, buy the albums and support the careers of these artists.

thanks for the kind words!
My pleasure, I am still jealous that you got to touch the dude. Did you have to crowd surf up to him?
Great show, outside a few angry mobsters in the pool of fans. Hopefully no toes stepped on at Carnegie hall..more idol worship for me!

[...] Fans of the Mozzer have much to rejoice as a long-rumored b-sides album is coming to fruition. Swords, the follow-up to the stellar Years of Refusal, will be released in the UK on October 26th and November 3rd in the US and features eight live performances as well as the “subtly assembled and sequenced” orphans from the last few recordings. There is no question that this has been among the better years for Morrissey (due to the success of Refusal and the subsequent tour), and demand for his material is high. Swords compiles 18 select songs released as b-sides of his 13 hit singles from his last four albums. [...]
