these are the ways on which i was raised

I'm not much of fan of music videos that try to capture the feel of a concert. They usually end up looking like Journey's "Faithfully" or something quite like it. Morrissey's new video for "First of the Gang to Die" seems to me to be a very noteable exception.

The crazy arena hysteria, Moz being Moz and some weird backstage bits. It's all there in spades. Check it out on VH1.com.

While you're there you really should watch "Last of the Famous International Playboys" to see his pompadour at its most absurd, uh, height. Check out "Interesting Drug" to see the origins of his microphone cord whip that he so loves these days. "November Spawns a Monster" is a must watch because it never fails to make me giggle like deranged schoolgirl. I mean, it's sooooo over-the-top. Finally, be sure to take in "Everyday Is Like Sunday." Its fairly tame PETA undertones were quite controversial 1988. I believe it was actually banned by both the BBC and MTV.

So go on! You've got work to do! They all full screen very nicely, by the way.
