Hi guys,
I'm quite a newbie to the whole world of Moz... and seeing as I tend to soak up as much info as I can in the first few weeks as a fan, I decided to try to log some of what's going on in my head...

I've made a new site (link) below to keep track of what songs I'm discovering, ask questions aloud as to what album I should pick up next etc. It seems a bit trivial, but I go thru these musical phases so quick, I just want to capture that initial excitement of being on a musical "kick". Let me know if you have any tips for a new fan.

I love the internet ... it's made communciation so easy and it means that sites like yours can exist. Democracy in action!
i can't believe you've only been into Morrissey a few weeks and you've already set up a website about him! I've been into him since 1987 and I've done bugger all.
Have no tips whatsoever except enjoy the music. The first Smiths song I heard was Girlfriend in a coma when I was 12/13 and after that I wanted to buy everything of theirs that I could. I love Strangeways particularly as it was the first Smiths album I heard. Of Moz's solo stuff I love Your Arsenal and Vauxhall and I & I can still remember the excitement of hearing Suedehead for the first time. At the time everyone was waiting and wondering what Morrissey's solo stuff would be like and of course Suedehead was an absolute corker. The opening riff is totally triumphant. Oh, and Interlude is gorgeous. I still get excited listening to his stuff even though I'm an ancient 27 year old! Just enjoy the music and enjoy your life!! Have fun!
