Well to start things better, I would like to thank MOZZ for a fantastic show that he shared with us last 13th of May. That day i would never forget.

Somehow it kept me thinking, Am i one of the biggest fan of Morrissey? Turns out I’m just one of the fan….(am I)?

I was deprived of the luxury of collecting all his albums (The Smiths & Morrissey), information about him was very late in this country back in the 90’s or i was just late on discovering Morrissey?

Why……

But during that night when he performed all of his…i can say half of the greatest songs….All the suffering of finding his music flash before my lovely eyes….Its like, Im here at his concert, even though i was in the TITANIUM SEAT, wondering what if I bought that ticket on the SVIP.It was all really worth it.

His voice when he did a solo album is still his voice up until now. And thats what makes me wanna ask myself.

That is one of a lifetime concert experience that i would remember til the day i die.

This is the continuation of my post and i will be going through his songlist.

1. How soon is now?

• As you all know this is one of the famous Smiths Songs that was popular enough that a lot of bands revived the song. But nothing compared to his voice. And this is one of his opening act on every country in asia (i think) that he performed

2. Alma Matters

• I never expect this song that he will play this in a million light years. It took me a lot of time to see the video when it was released, hoping to see it one day. Then in my disbelief he played it. I said WOW….famous

3. You have killed me

• The video of this song is somehow what 60’s type retro thingy. One of my favorite song. Enough said.

4. Im throwing my hands around Paris

• One of his carrier single of the album. Which was all fantastic songs on his album

5. First of the Gang to die

After waiting for more than 3 decades….Morrissey fans experience his majestic presence last night at the world trade center. IS IT WORTH THE WAIT?

As a MORRISSEY fan. That was born in the 80’s but roughly heard the Smiths when I was in Highschool. All i can say, YES it was worth the wait. His truly cool voice with his OPERA style of music according to himself. All fans who are arguing if he’s an indie, new wave, rock, pop. That answers your question. With his undoubtedly singing voice. I was amazed and kept singing on all of his 18 songs.

I can still remember when i first listen to THE SMITHS. its like…..WOW!!!! he has such a lovely voice. Followed by listening to Morrissey’s SUEDEHEAD compilation album. I said to myself. I would definitely watch him perform if he will perform here. During those time I was still in highschool and my classmates were like……What is that music….??

For a while I thought i was alone…But last night was different. All Smiths & Morrissey Fans in the philippines were there to show love & support. There’s no one else that could prove that morrissey is still the greatest living icon of his own genre.

celebrating my 2nd year on tumblr

It was way back 98-99 when my brother introduced me to THE SMITHS music. I was in my senior year in Highschool. It was still a cassette tape that my brother borrowed from his friend. (MP3 does not exist during that time)

When i first saw it…..I said What the heck…..What year is this band became popular. My brother told me that it was way back in the 80’s and they already disbanded…REALLY!!!???  So i tried to listen to it and after 1 song (ding) not only im liking the songs but also i was amazed of Morrissey’s voice. So what i did is to record the 2 albums instantly. And i said to myself….are there any existing tapes from the smiths?

Fortunately there are, but so few. I started going to the record store and looking for them, This record store has 5 albums of the smiths. but having no money at all it was like…..DAMN…..cant buy it…… It was the era of pinoy rock and boyband shit and I’m listening to morrissey & The smiths. I remember NU107 played “Interlude” by Morrissey & Siouxsie and i turn the volume up to let everybody hear it. I remember my classmate saying that is that a funeral song? I told him Shut the fuck up, Its one of the greatest not like your boyband crap. HEHEHEH

So my obsession to Morrissey & The Smiths continued to be part of my daily life. After replicating a copy of Smiths Best I & II, that same year i bought MORRISSEY - SUEDEHEAD best

This is an instant classic for me. All tracks are great no fillers. But here in the philippines a local store would only have 1 Morrissey or The smiths album unless you go to TOWER RECORDS during that time. And i got the tapes of the smiths from a local record store that is on sale.

Followed by

Then

And finally i bought this record WORLD OF MORRISSEY because i was intrigue by the song WHATEVER HAPPENS, I LOVE YOU. I was hesitant at first to purchase this because a lot of the songs are also on the SUEDEHEAD compilation. But i haven’t heard of JACK THE RIPPER, SPRING HEALED JIM and more. So i still purchase it.

So it was the end of the line for me, but my craving for their music still lives. I have to go to TOWER RECORDS. But i dont have time to go there. It was so far from me back then. Living in the east then going to south of Luzon (MAkati).

Then i concentrated looking for Morrissey Album since i heard he released his last material back in 1997. It was like……Were can i find it? At long last i saw the CD version of it. . Problem is i have no resources that time to purchase 450 peso CD. I even ask the salesman if he could record it for me and i would purchase it in a cassette price…He said if i could i wouldSo i waited & waited for it to be release on cassette and drop it here. I was terribly hopeless until i pass by this small record store and there it was. It was a big surprise,…..LIKE WHOA…..MORRISSEY

Finally a cassette tape version, so i didn’t waste any time and grab it right away to purchase it. When i got home i started playing it. And to my surprise , something is wrong with my tape. The songs from side A is on side B and vice versa. So i carefully remove the screws and put it back the way it should be.

The next album i found was this southpaw grammar in CD version and i saw it on sale for only 50 pesos. 8 tracks but two of the tracks are almost 10 min which is unusual to Morrissey.

So i found myself like lying on the bed with all my Morrissey & The Smiths collection and still wanting more……

so 2004 came when morrissey released his “YOU ARE THE QUARRY” album after 7 years of hiatus. Back then i was already working so i have all the resources. But still having a hard time finding the albums. During that time i already purchase Greatest hits from Eraserheads and on my way home i saw this album. Even though my budget is tight is still manage to buy it because it is the only copy they have

All of his songs here are great and i truly love his musical masterpiece.

I purchase this next The smiths item on POWERBOOKS which was the only copy that i saw and immediately grabbed it and purchase it.

This was the last of the collection i bought. His follow up album Ringleader of the Tormentors

Now i can say that during the era of scavenge hunt for his albums. It was all worth it. Since he is coming this 13th of May. And i watching his concert. He will only perform once in a lifetime so i wont miss it.

Sa sobrang kakatutok ng presidente nating may saltik sa impeachment eh nakalimutan nya yatang tignan ang presyo ng krudo dito. malapit na sa Php 60 ang gasoline habang ang diesel eh almost Php 50. Bakit ka nga ba nanalo??? eh iho de puta 2 taon ng walang nangyayari sa tin dito ah….baka talunin ka pa nito kung buhay pa to

I dont know if this are the only movies i really love for the longest time but basically this are some of it. Im not going to put it on numbers ill just lay it down
