Today we finally saw Moz outside the former Morricone studio in Roma. He arrived in a small car drived by his manager. Moz came out of the car rapidly, we called him, but he gently avoided us. Thus was the manager who decided to talk to us. He expressed his worry about the spread of the news of his artist recording in Roma. He was very very kind and thanked us for being not aggressive with Moz. They didn’t expected so much interest in Italy and he said that now they just want to concetrate and produce the new record quitely. Very nice spotting, we are very excited. Notice that all italian music websites have now news about these sessions in Roma.

Morrissey, new album in progress, recording in the capital.
New album in view for Morrissey. The former Smith chose to tape in Rome in Ennio Morricone's studio which are located in a 17th century church catacombs. For his return, the singer has dragged in Jeff Salzman, a producer famous for his work with the Killers. Described by its editor as the rockiest record ever made by Morrissey, the album will be released around spring 2006.

Undirectly, Morrissey has confirmed his presence in Rome releasing a declaration on video to the PETA organisation which has awarded him a decoration for his struggle against every type of violence against animals. Morrissey appears in the video apologizing not to be able to take part of the event and stated he was in Rome to record his new album.

Rome not big on Music....at all! (Score:0)
No record shops, no CD shops, nothing. Only a chain music store on Via De Corso that was full of outdated CD's.
I asked a few bartenders at diferent places and they basiclly said nobody is big on english music in Rome. Hence probably on of the reasons Moz went there to record. Ironiclly, Elton John was playing a free concert outside of the Colosseo the first saturday I was there and it was PACKED!
Anyhow, best thing about Rome...no rap music...and even better the men there know how to dress (except for the Capri pants that seem to be popular), everyone wears tailored suits, EVERYONE! Oh yeah, and brown leather shoes, they hate black!

He might be in a positive mood and we could be in for a ‘Balls to the Wall’ feel good album? Rockin' all over the world (well I hope it's not that bad).
Why Italy? Could Italy be a new home for Moz? Why not? Although Silvio Berlusconi is just as evil as Bush, but with less WMD.
They scare live people.

Morrissey's manager... (Score:2)
I've heard stories where he has passed on notes and gifts to Morrissey, etc. In every instance he is friendly and easy to talk with.
Andrea and Francesco, don't worry about being avoided. If the anonymous poster is to be believed that posted a few days ago about standing outside the studio, and then the police came, perhaps Morrissey has had some trouble with stalkers already.
Morrissey becomes very focused and single-minded when making a record(I have read), so he will be friendlier I am sure when recording is over.
I hope the new album is good!

Has a nice internal court, which could match the Peta video surroundings. Never been inside though, but close enough to Pincio to have a look. Piazza del Popolo, that is. And it has historical background too
Not sure what he meant with 17th century church - the Basilica del Sacro Cuore Immacolato di Maria is 20th Century, and ugly as hell.
Enjoy, brave Romans !
