It goes without saying that Morrissey could get a new album into the shops. What’s stopping him is that he doesn’t believe the offers he receives are generous enough for the quality of his songs, and his status in the music industry (fair enough), but the fact that he could now record and...
I've not spent much time round here recently so don't know if this has been discussed (tried a quick search).
Anyone got it? Read any reviews? Of some interest, surely, as a few of the songs' demos may presumably have made a Morrissey album.
I saw it in HMV today. Makes a mockery of the...
Although Morrissey is unlikely to spend much time round these parts, the journalists who interview him (in his seemingly increasing number of email interviews) surely pop by from time to time. Any questions you’d like them to ask?
Here’s one from me:
“Mr S Morrissey – you’ve now co-written...
I think it's pretty much the t-shirt slogan that Morrissey's had the band wearing the most.
But do you agree with the sentiment?
Poll coming along shortly ...

It's the one referred to in the 'other thread' but here, at last, is the full interview in its original version. It's one of the best I've read for years. Some really interesting, thoughtful comments and large dollops of wit. Even some funny lighthearted comments about the royal family for once...
It's been announced as such but then again so were the first dates in Scotland last year.
I hope it is, for the sake of Morrissey's integrity, but I hope it isn't coz I'd like to see him at a London (or at least non-arena) show.
Does it really matter whether it turns out to be true or not?
My...
Looks like the re-issue missed the top 100.

If memory serves, the re-issues of Southpaw and Maladjusted both made the top 75...
Can we have an explanation as to why a thread about Chrissie Hynde's notes for Viva Hate, and a thread about the new edited version of Maudlin Street have been merged?
Yes, they both relate to the new edition of Viva Hate but they are completely different aspects (I am interested in the latter...
Back in the 1990s, Morrissey hardly ever played unreleased songs live (I think WHIWOFBS and Sunny might be the only exceptions).
But in the 2000s, it seems he was quite keen to preview unreleased stuff, particularly in the 2002 (with IBEH, M, TFOTGTD, ILY etc) and 2008 (ITMAAP, AYNIS, SISMS...
With all the controversy about his Falkland Islands comments, it's almost gone unnoticed that someone (Morrissey/the band?) has rearranged Please Please Please into an almost a capella version i.e. with the strummy guitar taken off.

He's done it quite a few times now.
Last night it was 'We hate William and Kate', there's been one or two about McDonalds/KFC etc, and of course the infamous F*** Morrissey Solo debacle.
I'm not 100% sure but I think it's usually just the band that wear them (tho I think Morrissey joined in...
If Morrissey was to publish a list of 'new songs of which I'm most proud' it's likely that 'People Are The Same' would be at the top. He's played it more times than any of the other new ones live (I think) and has also performed it live on UK radio and US television shows. I'd say there's a fair...
Of all the bits of Morrissey news from the last 15 years, nothing for me compares with the prospect of Morrissey and Street writing a new batch of songs together.
There is yet another (admittedly not wholly convincing) rumour to add to the previous ones. First, let's recap:
Rumour number 1 -...
It's been an odd year for Morrissey, really. If I'm honest, quite a bit worse than I was expecting/hoping.
What have we got to look forward to in 2012? An acceptance that a new album probably won't get off the drawing board. A horrible legal battle with the world's bitchiest music publication...
I've just seen that my comments about the Marr Uncut interview have been posted as a news story, verbatim, on the front page. Is there a warning, anywhere, that this can happen to any post?
My post was full of half-remembered quotes, and my strong opinion about what I thought of these comments...
There's a 2 or 3 page feature on J Marr in the new Uncut where he answers questions from various musical types.

There's a 2 or 3 page feature on J Marr in the new Uncut where he answers questions from various musical types.
One is from Joyce Michael (about Marr's veganism) where Marr retorts something like "wow, I've not heard from him for ages" as if it's a much cherished, long-lost friend rather than...
