90% recovered from pneumonia, 8pl8s RETURNS (I'm back) for a display of love for the GRAND album Mezzanine (1998) by Bristol band MASSIVE ATTACK.
With a cinematic twist, namely the use of the band's music in House M.D. (2004 - 2012), the Wachowskis' The Matrix (1999), Guy Ritchie's Snatch (2000), Wong Kar-Wai's Fallen Angels (1995), and how Mezzanine's album art reminds me of the opening credits of David Fincher's adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011).

(halfway) BACK from the dead to dig through the ABOMINATION called California Son (2019) with the REAL California son Glen Rockney of Rare Candy
I love Morrissey. You love your uncle. We're the same person.
SECOND episode of a limited 8pl8s series on Steven Patrick Morrissey (/ˈmɒrɪsi/ MORR-iss-ee; born 22 May 1959), known mononymously as Morrissey. While he's most well-known for his contribution to The Smiths, his solo work is some of the most personal, touching music I've ever had the privilege of hearing. A privilege I indulge in on a daily basis.

1 - Morning Starship (Ft. Ed Droste)
2 - Don't Interrupt the Sorrow (Ft. Ariel Engle)
