Wiretap: Shooting Moz

Art star and current New York magazine coverboy Ryan McGinley spent the last two years on the road with Morrissey, shooting the Mopey one and his legion of fans. Now you can see the results in his new show, Irregular Regulars, at Team Gallery.

We're huge fans of McGinley's artsy images, more of which you can see at his website.

Wiretap: Morrissey's Mash Note

Those kooky kids over at The Music Slut found this little missive, penned by a then 21 yr. old Morrissey, in which the musician talks about his love for cowboys (shades of Oscar Wilde, perhaps?), missing art and culture, and even managing to slight a New York institution (the Chelsea hotel) by calling it an "insignificant backdrop."


We have to agree with the Sluts about the smiley face. Who would have ever thought the King of Mope would sign a letter with such a cheery doodle?

Wiretap: Morrissey

We were going to post a video from Morrissey's latest album, but then we came across this old nugget, "We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful." And we kinda do. Here we are, blogging away in obscurity, drunk and...huh. That may be part of the problem. Sometimes, success is just finishing a 40 oz all by yourself.

Anyway, enjoy Moz singing our life with his words and rocking one of his patented shiny shirts.
