Didn't Morrissey famously describe reggae as 'vile'?

Ooh, that boy...

Perhaps Morrissey has a problem with spreading RUMORS. If it is NOT true, why is he saying it?

Perhaps those three dotted i's of the contract are in his signature. Some possibilities:

ingenious idol
vitriolic web-basher
pre-indicted contradictor
miffed geriatric
maligned privatist
sensitive megalomaniac
impossibly superior
vindictive ox
pessimistic mope
unappreciative singer
righteously indignant
pristine primadonna
misunderstood musician
spurious socialite
withdrawn omnipurist

morrissey will be signing with "me verga esta peluda y fea"... it brings him inner peace
Lakers Rule and so does my yorkie

if this a rumor, you may have Morrissey's legal-lackey writing you to remove this from your site.
p.s. great job on your site; and keep standing up to his bullies.

I agree with 'Hairdresser' (I'll believe it when I see the LP in the shops), but still I cannot help but feeling rather exited. Finally!(?)

If it wasn't true this time, he wouldn't have mentioned it.

The article also states that the album will be called "Irish Blood,English Heart"and will be recorded in the summer.But this is the interviewers statement,although one must assume Mr.M had control of the article's content.
We shall see....

and that's why we like him.

although we like the picture that's on the cover even more...

I just read the interview with Morrissey in Word (whatever the hell that magazine is) and have fallen in love with the man again after being so dissolusioned with him earlier this week. He is full of wit and humility and it states that the album 'Irish Blood, English Heart' will begin recording in the summer. It sounded very very positive and was like a breath of fresh air after all the Morrissey misery this week. Don't give up hope guys... I feel revitalised as a fan by reading this fantastic interview. Someone get it online at once! It will cheer us all up.

crossing my fingers... um, i hope he releases a triple album like prince's "emancipation."

bs

What annoyes me is that the prospect of Morrissey releasing a new album gets so much less attention thatn stuff about money etc.
Yes, the money-rumours are a big deal, but being the Morrissey fans we are we really should care more about a new album.

But I guess everyone is just tired of all the rumours - and thus wont say anything until it is actually reality?

no hope - no harm

just another false alarm

so, tell me how long

before the last one?

and tell me how long

before the right one?

this story is old - I KNOW

but it goes on

Isn't funny anymore...I'll believe it when I see it.

so when's davidt going to release an album?

... then he will play probably a total different setlist on the (also) rumoured festival dates because he will want to promote his new album.

I cross my fingers!

and plz: don't put I Like You and Mexico on the new album.

Another thing morrissey mentioned in the word interview was that he hasnt received any money from the tour "not even a mars bar".

Is there someone who can scan the WORD article or make a transcript of it ? Thanks alot whoever/whatever you are :D

Can somebody please tell me why moz would want Sanctuary's Reggae back-catalogue?
I thought he was supposed to think it was VILE..
or was it RAP that I'm thinking of..??..

It being friday I'd just like to say

I love Morrissey

He's the cat's whiskers
He's the dog's bollocks
He's the badger's nadgers

If you don't care much for him you're on the wrong site.

He's got a new album coming out you know. (rethorical)

so to speak. Unforseen natural disasters aside, we should be seeing a new album sometime in the autumn. The Word interview is his finest in a few years, by the way ("Please don't imagine I came to Los Angeles to surf or work out."). Grab a copy.

why can't anybody just type up the damn interview? i'm dying to read it.

Geoff Travis reports a rumor that he signed "two nights ago" during his interview with Liz...taped wed? thurs?

I urge everyone to try and get a copy of the mag for themselves, as it's a small-scale enterprise produced with a genuine passion - if anyone cares about good writing on such subjects then your support couldn't be better placed. Congrats to Andrew Harrison for possibly his best ever piece.

Note that I've corrected the odd factual and typo as I've caught them (probably adding more as I go, for which I apologise).

Enjoy...

Home Thoughts From Abroad

What makes this most English of Englishmen relocate to the most American of American cities? In 1998 Morrissey decamped to Clark Gable’s old Hollywood lair, exchanging Blighty’s court battles and disaffection for a new life, new inspiration and an exotic new fanbase. And, this weekend, a new passenger in his open-topped Jag: Andrew Harrison.

Morrissey is trying to drive and be nice at the same time. It is a sunny Good Friday afternoon in Los Angeles, he is pointing his eggshell blue Jaguar XK8 westwards along Wilshire Boulevard, and several feet behind his left ear a young woman in a Bob Marley bobblehat is hanging out of the passenger window of an enormous crimson SUV. "Morrissey! Morrissee!" she yells. Morrissey throws a strained smile back over his shoulder and at the same time tries to watch the traffic, which of course is on the wrong side of the road. The wheel wobbles in his hand. "Morrissey!" the girl cries. "Do you remember me?"
        "That's what a lot of them say," Morrissey observes a couple of minutes later, after the excited fan has turned off Wilshire and disappeared with her story. "And how can you possibly answer them? Saying yes is worse than saying no. It can encourage troublesome behaviour. I usually say 'possibly'." Alongside us at the traffic lights, someone else has pulled out their cellphone and appears to be telling a friend who's pulled up next to them. While note exactly a household name here, Morrissey is famous enough among his sizeable and passionate group of enthusiasts to provoke a double-take if they encounter him in the street - much as he is in the UK. Morrissey drums his silver-ringed fingers on the wheel of the Jag and then turns up the stereo. And what is the soundtrack of his transplanted life in Los Angeles? The Red Hot Chili Peppers? Snoop Dogg? Rush Limbaugh and the bucketmouths of American talk radio? No, it's a BBC cassette of collected interviews with John Betjeman. "I do love making television programmes, " says the voice of Betjers, projected from the 1970s of Reithian power. "The engineers do all the work and I get all the credit." Morrissey sniggers in approval. Then he goes into one about the decline of standards of pronunciation on the radio. He can't stand the mania for regional accents in broadcasting, or people who say "Actually, yes" when they just mean "yes," or newsreaders who say "Bridish" when they mean "British". It's all too horrible.
        Morrissey moved to Los Angeles five years ago, his relocation coinciding with a lengthy musical silence. He has not released an album since 1997's poorly-received Maladjusted and has been without a deal since Island Records declined to take up their option for a further two solo albums. A lot of things have changed in music since then, and many of them have left Morrissey seeming more disconnected than ever from what's happening in the UK. During the 80s, with The Smiths and in his early solo records like Everyday Is Like Sunday, he assembled an unprecedented and utterly unfamiliar persona for a pop singer - equal parts Philip Larkin, Oscar Wilde, Billy Fury and Les Dawson - and turned himself into the kind of star he had always worshipped as a teenager. The Smiths were far more than the moany student act of caricature: for the first and arguably only time, there was a band which rocked demonically yet had sufficient humour and intellectual content to captivate those who hid at the back of the hall too. And Morrissey polarised people. His song scenarious inc

They're the teenage Russian lesbians.
        "Well, aren't we all?"

HA HA HA HA HA!
I've been waiting for him to talk about this for so long, what a way to comment on it.... :D

The stuff against Tony B and George W B was great...... I agree with Morrissey. America is Fascist. Look at the new actions the FCC is taken. Goodbye free, true press. Hello garbage.

About Johnny laying down his drum patterns...how likely is that? I'm not a musician, so I don't know. Was this just random bitchery on Morrissey's part?

I've seen and sat in a Jaguar XK8, but I've never heard of Aston Martin V7 Vantage. Does it look much like a Aston Martin DB7 Vantage, which I personally think is one of the world's most beautiful cars? Or has there been made a mistake here somewhere? Perhaps by the journalist?
