NO. 1? THERE'S STILL TIME!!!

Morrissey has his best ever chance of having a No. 1 single on Sunday, but it's looking like being a close run thing.

If you haven't already bought your copy, now's the time to do so.

Moz needs your help to reach this goal, so buy your copy now, tell your friends to buy it too and then go and buy it again for when you've worn the original out.

Order your copy from the following retailers

Morrissey Digital Download Store | iTunes | HMV.co.uk | Recordstore (3for£5)

Smiths offered even more cash to reunite - NME.com

Johnny Marr reveals silly money was on the table

Johnny Marr has confirmed recent rumours that The Smiths had been offered a fortune to reform, but added even more cash was on the table.

As previously reported, Morrissey revealed the group was offered $5m to play last year's Coachella festival.

Now his former bandmate Marr has confirmed that the group have been offered even more than that in the past.

"I don't really want to get into figures, but yes, I was made an offer for the Smiths to reform at Coachella," he told his official website Jmarr.com.

"I was also offered twice as much for us to play in New York, Hyde Park and God knows where else."

Despite offers believed to be in the region of $10m, the reunion has never taken place, with Morrissey stating: "Money doesn't come into it. It never has. I do what I do because it's all that I am."

Moz talk today from the Editorial board at the National Post, one of Canada's leading daily papers. It points out what alot of fans have been saying all week. Turkey doesn't even have any laws against animal cruelty but that's not stopping Moz from taking his tour to Istanbul. Rejection is one thing but rejection from a well-meaning fool can cruel.

James Dean Museum in Indiana Closes - Yahoo! News / AP

Excerpt:

GAS CITY, Ind. - The museum chronicling the short life of James Dean has closed after struggling financially since its opening in 2004.

David Loehr, owner of the James Dean Gallery, announced in December that he planned to close the museum, but an outpouring of contributions led him to give it another try.

It ultimately shut down at the end of February, though, and Loehr has packed up and placed the memorabilia in storage.
