I'd like to point out, that it's "one size fits most."

Most.

I cannot fathom how fat of a hog you must be to not be able to fit into that.

Did you know that Mexicans love Morrissey?

[D.o.S.]

Yeah I read a piece on that once (the atlantic?) about how Latin Americans love Morrissey, pretty much more than anyone should love Morrissey (or the Smiths)

[frodog]

Yes, I heard of this, apparently there was a DJ at an LA radio station popular among Latinos in the '80s who was obsessed with Morrissey, so it kinda spread from there. I don't remember the exact story, but something like that.
Think I heard it somewhere in this conversation:

The Mexrissey album is actually pretty good (if you like Morrissey).

[lordgalvar]

It's been well known for a long long time down here haha (the Smiths Morrissey thing). Kinda go hand in hand...

My friend from UK is still baffled by it. It all totally makes sense to me though...just kind of a natural fit.

The goth/death rock scene is a big deal down here too...same crowd and a bunch of old timers. Lethal Amounts is a pretty cool place that helps keep these scenes alive, but there is also Das Bunker, Release the Bats, etc all going on somewhere at least once a week it seems. There is usually a Morrissey night biweekly haha.

TKK are usually kicking it around Monty's and Marc Almond was there the other day. Lots of cool stuff in that great scene. Much better than the punk side of things in LA really.

I do not, but I own it anyways to torture my wife with, as she does. My straight-outta-Mexican sister in law, on the other hand, loves it because it reminds her of authentic Mexican music with Morrissey proto-emo slathered all over it.

I've come to actually enjoy it immensely. It all factors into what I call the Morrissey/Reznor Theory.

It's simple, really, and comes in two pieces:
1) Any cover version of a Morrissey (including Smiths) song is guaranteed to be fantastic. It will always transcend the original, and often times may be the only hit by the covering act. And yet, originals by Morrissey (including the Smiths) are generally awful to listen to and his caterwauling hurts my ears and my soul.

2) Any time that Trent Reznor decides to cover someone else's song, it's immediately transcendant and phenomenal, even when the source material is nigh untouchable and perfect (eg, Joy Division's Dead Souls or Pigface's Suck). This, despite the fact Trent Reznor's actual catalogue is awful and should never be listened to.

Ergo, the most powerful song never recorded was clearly a Morrissey (including the Smiths) song covered by Trent Reznor/Nine Inch Nails. It's probably better this way, as teh sheer power of that pop song might be enough to tear a hole in the Space-Time continuum causing our galaxy to invert into a world where black is white, cats are dogs and I'd shop at Hot Topic and wear a NIN shirt while self-cutting How Soon Is Now? lyrics into my chest while weeping.
