Monday Morning Morrissey & Murder
Here are a couple delights to kick off your week.
First up, international mopester Morrissey has a new album due out soon. Entitled Ringleader of the Tormentors, the record’s tracklist (published by Stereogum.com) is a delight unto itself. But the real treasures are the reader-submitted fake Morrissey song titles. (Scroll down.) My faves: “My Tears Could Cure Cancer, But I Don’t Cry” and “You’re Still The Only One I’ll Ever Love, Dead Psycho Killer.”
Speaking of psycho killers and homosexuals trapped in prisons of their own making: Michael Alig, the notorious “club kid killer” profiled in the movie Party Monster, got a fresh burst of notoriety thanks to the WOW Report, which was sent a letter found by a reader at a Brooklyn junk store, written by Alig from prison in 1998.
Creepiest passage (and one that should be featured in every parole hearing Alig ever applies for): “The movie is called Honeymoon Killers…go out and get it today..pay special attention to the hammer killing—it is the most realistic killing I’ve ever seen in any movie! It looks just like that when you kill someone with a hammer!”
(See full letter here.)
I can't stop laughing at those fake Morrissey song titles. That are so funny that I might just have to die. Baby.
