To be fair, it's now one of the most ridiculous shirts I own, and Moz IS my shepherd.</li></ul></div>It's utterly pointless for me to try to do this for <strong>Steven Patrick Morrissey</strong>. For longer than I have been alive, music journalists have chipped away at the man, dissected his lyrics, and sought to explain his appeal. All in all, like so many other people, I spend a lot of time with Morrissey's music. I don't think I'll ever come up with a way to artfully explicate it, but he makes me feel less alone, and he will probably always mean a great deal to me. </p> <p>Walking up to the Moore Theatre in the pouring rain, I first heard a pat-down security guard barking <strong>"No flowers! No iPads!"</strong> which might be one of the strangest introductions I've had to a show. Inside the mood was dizzying; this being my first Morrissey show, I didn't know if there was always this much excitement in the air for one of his concerts, or if it was a lot of pent up anticipation. (The concert was originally scheduled for November before being pushed back so Moz could attend to his ill mother. He's also had a bout of health scares that led to some cancellations on this US tour.)</p> <p>I got to my balcony seat late, just in time to see the end of a PETA video with Joaquin Phoenix. Before Morrissey took the stage, there was a series of music videos that had to be curated by the man himself. <strong>Mighty Joe, Small Faces, Fran&#231;oise Hardy, Sparks, Nico</strong>, and, of course,<strong> the New York Dolls</strong> all warmed up the crowd. The setlist started off with "Shoplifters of the World Unite," taking me a little bit by surprise to hear a Smiths song so early. The song had barely started when I asked my date what he thought so far. <strong>"It sounds like everyone is screaming back at him. But in a good way."</strong></p> <p>I have no way of quantifying this, but by the time the band started their fifth song of the night, "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMW_n5XNG_A">Speedway</a>," it seemed like they started hitting their groove. But I might be biased because it is, in my opinion, one of Moz's best. The biggest problem I've always had with Morrissey's solo work is that it doesn't have Johnny Marr in it. (Can I admit here that I first got into the Smiths because I thought that just the instrumental music was some of the best stuff I'd ever heard?) Seeing this show tonight certainly gave me more of an appreciation for Moz's band. Normally I would find things like a gong onstage totally ostentatious, but it seemed appropriate tonight, especially for songs I normally pass over. (I'm mostly thinking about "November Spawned a Monster" here, whose <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTev6og-edU">video</a> had long spoiled the song for me until last night.)</p> <p>The next surprise was also the next Smiths song that was played. I'm sure you can read way too much into Morrissey playing "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIyXJxPFVz4">That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore</a>" after his recent <a href="http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/1550408/jimmy-kimmel-extends-olive-branch-to-morrissey">back-and-forth with Jimmy Kimmel</a>, but it shouldn't damper that it's one of the better slow-jammers ever recorded by the Smiths. </p> <p>Considering all the praise Morrissey gets for his wit, I should have more funny banter to report on, but I don't. I think at this stage in his career, Morrissey knows that he really doesn't have to do a whole lot to whip an audience up into a frenzy. All it takes is a slow crouch to his knees at the end of a song, or a reach of his hand towards the people in the front, and it will send everyone to their feet. If there was a single moment when all-hell-broke-loose, it was at the end of "Let Me Kiss You," when Moz took off his shirt and hurled it into the audience. </p> <p>The toughest part of the night for me was when the band played "Meat is Murder." For all that Morrissey has personally affected people's lives, he can also make it difficult to be a fan. In Morrissey's world there aren't any grey areas. (Except, perhaps, his sexuality.) Everything is absolute, so he often places a premium on being <strong>militant rather than showing any tact</strong>. I'm (an admittedly recently converted) vegetarian, but I still don't see why he needs to accompany live performances of the song with visuals of chickens and cows being butchered. I took an informal survey around me during the song, and it looked like most concert goers were squirming in their seats, covering their eyes, uploading photos on Instagram, or taking an opportunity to go the bathroom. The only person I saw who was transfixed on the visuals was Morrissey himself; he couldn't take his eyes off the screen. </p> <p>The concert quickly picked up again, especially for the later Smiths songs. Tears welled up when I heard "Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want." "How Soon is Now?" totally bowled me over, a glorious cathartic moment. I was <strong>giddy, moon-eyed, and ridiculously singing along</strong> when I heard, quite possibly, my favorite song of all time, "The Boy With the Thorn in His Side" played during the encore. This might have been one of the only concerts I've been to in the past five years where, once it was over, I still wasn't ready to go home yet. </p> <p><strong>"I suppose it's necessary to tell everyone everything,"</strong> is something I remember Morrissey saying last night. I'm a little too frazzled to remember when he said that, or really what he meant by it. But I have to thank him, for finding it necessary to say everything to everyone. My life wouldn't be the same without him and his big mouth. </p> <p>Set List:</p> <p>"Shoplifters of the World Unite"<br />"Alma Matters"<br />"Everyday is Like Sunday"<br />"Irish Blood, English Heart"<br />"Speedway"<br />"Maladjusted"<br />"I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris"<br />"Action is My Middle Name"<br />"That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore"<br />"Ouija Board, Ouija Board"<br />"November Spawned a Monster"<br />"Still Ill"<br />"People Are the Same Everywhere"<br />"Meat is Murder"<br />"Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want"<br />"You Have Killed Me"<br />"Let Me Kiss You"<br />"How Soon is Now?"</p> <p>"The Boy With the Thorn In His Side"</p> <p>[ <a href="http://lineout.thestranger.com/lineout/archives/2013/03/07/ive-seen-this-happen-in-other-peoples-lives-morrissey-at-the-moore-theatre#comments">Comment on this story</a> ]</p> <p>[ <a href="http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Rss.xml?oid=16186085&amp;id=comments">Subscribe to the comments on this story</a> ]</p> Show Review Last Night Love Puppy http://lineout.thestranger.com/lineout/archives/2013/03/07/ive-seen-this-happen-in-other-peoples-lives-morrissey-at-the-moore-theatre?show=comments#readerComments http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Rss.xml?oid=16186085&id=comments 10 I've Seen This Happen in Other People's Lives - Morrissey at the Moore Theatre For the entire duration of Kristeen Young's opening set I stood in line for a t-shirt.

After our first 7 months or so living away from the city we grew up in we were finally back home&#8230;this is the emotion we tried to capture in this song and video&#8230;Seattle Summers like YEEEE We were able to capture this thanks to Morgan Backus who gave us yet another dope ass beat, Zac Macconnel who made this video, Spike and Jamari who have been our musical spiritual guides, Parker who recorded it for us, and of course Beeba..this is his vision..YEEE</p></blockquote> <p>Yet another Seattle summer party jam from the town's hiphop contingent; this time it's Brothers From Another, glad to be home after their first year of school in California. BFA's fresh-scrubbed life-love is posi as it gets, and pretty damn infectious. Still, as 206-prideful as I am, I'm glad I spent today scooting around LA, even if they don't say 'hella' or sell Rainier brew (sign I saw today, atop a liquor store: "hipsters raise a cheer, PBR is LA's new favorite beer"). Go see BFA at the Capitol Hill Block Party on Friday night, at the Vera Stage; they and the excellent Kung Foo Grip split a paltry 20 minute set, but it oughta be fun.</p> <p>[ <a href="http://lineout.thestranger.com/lineout/archives/2011/07/15/brothers-from-another-beeba-vision-ii#comments">Comment on this story</a> ]</p> <p>[ <a href="http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Rss.xml?oid=9064576&amp;id=comments">Subscribe to the comments on this story</a> ]</p> Puppy http://lineout.thestranger.com/lineout/archives/2011/07/15/brothers-from-another-beeba-vision-ii?show=comments#readerComments http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Rss.xml?oid=9064576&id=comments 0 Fri, 15 Jul 2011 01:41:00 -0700 The Stranger http://lineout.thestranger.com/lineout/archives/2011/07/10/this-one-goes-out-to-lisa-dank http://lineout.thestranger.com/lineout/archives/2011/07/10/this-one-goes-out-to-lisa-dank Dominic Holden <p><div style="text-align:center;"><iframe width="500" height="405" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/1plvBR02wDs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div></p> <p>[ <a href="http://lineout.thestranger.com/lineout/archives/2011/07/10/this-one-goes-out-to-lisa-dank#comments">Comment on this story</a> ]</p> <p>[ <a href="http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Rss.xml?oid=8994143&amp;id=comments">Subscribe to the comments on this story</a> ]</p> Puppy http://lineout.thestranger.com/lineout/archives/2011/07/10/this-one-goes-out-to-lisa-dank?show=comments#readerComments http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Rss.xml?oid=8994143&id=comments 1 Sun, 10 Jul 2011 11:54:27 -0700 The Stranger http://lineout.thestranger.com/lineout/archives/2011/03/22/meanwhile-in-juneau-alaska http://lineout.thestranger.com/lineout/archives/2011/03/22/meanwhile-in-juneau-alaska Trent Moorman <p><div class="blogImageRight" style="width:262px;"><img src="http://www.thestranger.com/images/blogimages/2011/03/22/1300826890-juneau1.jpg" alt="Darwin-Air.

Wait a second, this isn't Austin.</p> <p>Those traveling with Darwin may pre-board all planes. 25 minutes into the first flight someone went into one of the bathrooms and tried to smoke. (Not one of us.) He was busted. What&#8217;s the technique there, for smoking in the bathroom of a plane? - Light the cigarette, inhale/exhale/drop cigarette into bowl, and flush?

Elk, emu, wild boar, and herds of moose are all over the place. Things are bear proofed. Alaskan Amber tastes better Alaska. So does a salmon omelet. Radjaw went on boat. It was sunny. He fell off a rock or something into the water. </p> <p>The <a href="http://www.thealaskanhotel.com/">Alaskan Hotel</a> in Juneau is haunted. It used to be a brothel they say.

Juneau people letting it out. <a href="http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/sound-check/Content?oid=4885926">FileJerks' Astronomar</a> (Juneau&#8217;s Favorite Son) spun and fuzz-battered loving ears.

Sometimes attains hurricane force at the mouth of the Taku River, after which it is named. It barrels down the sides of multiple mountains and funnels into town. Frigid.

Much hobnobbing was had. The who&#8217;s who&#8217;s sveltely strode, posed, and imbibed. Beck, Devendra, and Caetano sounded immaculate. The real action of the night, however, went down with the drummers, the auctioneers, and The Whip Guy. The twenty drummers began the evening in a drum-line lining the entrance to the gigantic tent. Rolls trickled down the line, and beats bounced back and forth and front to back. Inside, Devendra Banhart played, then joined Beck and a string section on Beck&#8217;s &#8220;Golden Age&#8221;. Then they both played with Caetano Veloso for two songs. One of which was the highlight, &#8220;Nine Out of Ten.&#8221; </p> <p>Finely prepared food was eaten, then the lights went out, and auctioneers made their way unannounced to spot lit stages and began chattering. Drummers filed out to &#8216;sonic tables&#8217; and began a mallet-banged cadence. It all slowly built, the auctioneer's storm and the six drum-table slit drums. Each drum table matched to an auctioneer. A choir joined in coating and soaring the arrangement with abstract enough harmonies. Then, grand finale time: Enter The Whip Guy, Chris Camp, world champion whip cracker, and entertainer. (Yes, he owns <a href="http://www.thewhipguy.com/">www.thewhipguy.com</a>.) His whips are made by a guy in Seattle, who also made the whips for the Indiana Jones movies. The drummers, the auctioneers, the choir, grew to a metered engine hum and apex, then cut out on one big whip crack. Chris Camp is the kind of whipper that whips the cigarillo out of your mouth. He&#8217;ll whip a drop of rain drop out of the sky. If you're having a party, and need a little something extra, get The Whip Guy there, you will not be sorry.</p> <p>For three days there were rehearsals. It was a lot of hurry-up-and-wait, and official people with head mics and walkie talkies telling us where and when to go. <a href="http://www.dougaitkenworkshop.com/">Doug Aitken</a> is a very cool human. </p> <p>When you put twenty drummers together in an enclosed environment for three days with auctioneers and a choir, prestigious shit is bound to go down. Snowflakes of beats and rhythm constantly sprang up and made their way around. Auctioneer flow with choir on top is a holy centipede mating call. The drummers were all incredible. A great, great group. <strong>Represented were Dum Dum Girls, M.I.A., Glenn Danzig, Boredoms, Zach Hill, Hole, High Places, Soft Circle, and many others.</strong> All hail Zach Hill. There is no better love than drum love. </p> <p>(More pictures <a href="http://www.zimbio.com/pictures/24-sf6byZfG/MOCA+Annual+Gala+Artist+Museum+Happening+Dinner">HERE</a>.)</p> <p>[ <a href="http://lineout.thestranger.com/lineout/archives/2010/11/16/the-whip-guy-moca-recap#comments">Comment on this story</a> ]</p> <p>[ <a href="http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Rss.xml?oid=5539407&amp;id=comments">Subscribe to the comments on this story</a> ]</p> Video Puppy http://lineout.thestranger.com/lineout/archives/2010/11/16/the-whip-guy-moca-recap?show=comments#readerComments http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Rss.xml?oid=5539407&id=comments 9 Tue, 16 Nov 2010 12:39:57 -0800 The Stranger http://lineout.thestranger.com/lineout/archives/2010/10/08/5093972-vipka http://lineout.thestranger.com/lineout/archives/2010/10/08/5093972-vipka Trent Moorman <p><div class="blogImageRight" style="width:262px;"><img src="http://www.thestranger.com/images/blogimages/2010/10/08/1286566609-splatteredbugs.jpg" alt="SplatteredBugs.jpg" title="" width="250" height="390" /></div>A psychedelic hardcore sludge pre-post metal band approaches our city. A phone interview had been set up. When the band pulled into a gas station for fuel, the band member who was set up to do the interview saw this advertisement, and became upset. Now he won&#8217;t do the interview. He is somewhat Buddhist and believes strongly in karma. Apparently, he has a young niece or nephew that saw the ad too (who is following with family members in another vehicle), and this niece or nephew didn&#8217;t understand why a big gas company would think that smooshed bugs are funny. This somewhat Buddhist hardcore metal musician did not enjoy having to explain the ad to his niece or nephew. The voicemail I received from another one of the band members was vague, and I was sent this picture. They extended condolences for this bandmate not doing the interview, and said he was sitting in the back of the van or bus sketching in his notebook, eating potato chips, and cussing about the cycle of suffering and rebirth for each being. </p> <p><div class="blogImageCenter" style="width:512px;"><img src="http://www.thestranger.com/images/blogimages/2010/10/08/1286567256-splatteredbugs3.jpg" alt="SplatteredBugs3.jpg" title="" width="500" height="144" /></div></p> <p><div class="blogImageCenter" style="width:512px;"><img src="http://www.thestranger.com/images/blogimages/2010/10/08/1286566654-splatteredbugs2.jpg" alt="SplatteredBugs2.jpg" title="" width="500" height="164" /></div></p> <p>[ <a href="http://lineout.thestranger.com/lineout/archives/2010/10/08/5093972-vipka#comments">Comment on this story</a> ]</p> <p>[ <a href="http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Rss.xml?oid=5093972&amp;id=comments">Subscribe to the comments on this story</a> ]</p> Death On Tour Interview Puppy http://lineout.thestranger.com/lineout/archives/2010/10/08/5093972-vipka?show=comments#readerComments http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Rss.xml?oid=5093972&id=comments 10 Fri, 08 Oct 2010 12:49:51 -0700 The Stranger http://lineout.thestranger.com/lineout/archives/2010/10/05/5057817-i-know-how-much-you-love-me http://lineout.thestranger.com/lineout/archives/2010/10/05/5057817-i-know-how-much-you-love-me Mike Nipper <p>So...here is a little something for YOU, 'cause I love you back.</p> <p><div style="text-align:center;"><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/lqeAh_IeSrQ?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/lqeAh_IeSrQ?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object></div></p> <p><strong>SEE HOW MUCH I LERVE YOU PEEPS!?! </strong> Come on over Line Out, we need to have a MAJOR big spoon party. xoxoxox</p> <p>[ <a href="http://lineout.thestranger.com/lineout/archives/2010/10/05/5057817-i-know-how-much-you-love-me#comments">Comment on this story</a> ]</p> <p>[ <a href="http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Rss.xml?oid=5057817&amp;id=comments">Subscribe to the comments on this story</a> ]</p> Puppy http://lineout.thestranger.com/lineout/archives/2010/10/05/5057817-i-know-how-much-you-love-me?show=comments#readerComments http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Rss.xml?oid=5057817&id=comments 0 Tue, 05 Oct 2010 11:27:41 -0700 The Stranger http://lineout.thestranger.com/lineout/archives/2010/09/22/overheard-in-the-office http://lineout.thestranger.com/lineout/archives/2010/09/22/overheard-in-the-office Mike Nipper <p>"I guarantee...(pause for effect) you will NEVER hear me listening to Danzig."</p> <p>[ <a href="http://lineout.thestranger.com/lineout/archives/2010/09/22/overheard-in-the-office#comments">Comment on this story</a> ]</p> <p>[ <a href="http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Rss.xml?oid=4949055&amp;id=comments">Subscribe to the comments on this story</a> ]</p> Puppy http://lineout.thestranger.com/lineout/archives/2010/09/22/overheard-in-the-office?show=comments#readerComments http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Rss.xml?oid=4949055&id=comments 13 Wed, 22 Sep 2010 14:06:44 -0700 The Stranger http://lineout.thestranger.com/lineout/archives/2010/09/16/btw-witch-gardens-also-on-tomorrows-htfc-bill http://lineout.thestranger.com/lineout/archives/2010/09/16/btw-witch-gardens-also-on-tomorrows-htfc-bill Jason Baxter <p>By now you already know&#8212;per Eric&#8217;s recommendation in the <a href="http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/up-and-coming/Content?oid=4887803">Up &amp; Coming</a> section&#8212;that Friday&#8217;s Grass Widow/Coasting/Broken Water show at Healthy Times Fun Club is a must-see. One name was absent from that listing, however: locals <strong>Witch Gardens</strong>, a spooky pop outfit whose songs I adore but have yet to experience live.</p> <p>Regardless, I feel pretty safe in adding them to the list of reasons to make it out to this gig tomorrow. If nothing else, this hand-made poster for the concert (by Witch Gardens member and <em>Stranger</em> alum Casey Catherwood) is justification enough. Casey&#8217;s quickly becoming my favorite local poster-maker, because no one else would have the moxie to attempt <strong>so weird</strong> a spin on the &#8220;mini-comic-as-poster&#8221; idea:</p> <p><div class="blogImageCenter" style="width:412px;"><a href="http://www.thestranger.com/images/blogimages/2010/09/16/1284672424-grasswidowposter.jpg" class="zoomable"><img src="http://www.thestranger.com/images/blogimages/2010/09/16/thumb-1284672424-grasswidowposter.jpg" alt="grasswidowposter.jpg" title="" width="400" height="503" /></a></div></p> <p>As for their music, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/witchgardens">Witch Gardens</a> are ace. <a href="http://lineout.thestranger.com/lineout/archives/2010/07/05/last-minute-addition-to-deerhoof-show">Previously, I&#8217;ve cited myself previously</a> describing their sound as &#8220;a twisted, moldered, and sun-bleached kind of faraway pop,&#8221; but let me add that their hooks are flammable (if muted in recordings by lo-fi gauziness), and the overall effect is one of <strong>drowsily overheard playground anthems</strong>.
