I too am holding out even more hope for a U.S. Tour after reading the comment about Kristeen and St.Loius.
America may not be the world, but we do wish for a solid portion of the ROTT tour to grace our shores~

Lovely to hear from Moz again on TTY (Score:1)
I had to laugh at his comments made about the Live At Earl's Court LP - the first thing I noticed upon purchasing it was the misprinting of TMYIMTCIG and Bigmouth. I would hope Moz feels at least slightly comforted by the fact that the inner sleeve features some most excellent photographs of him and the band (but I doubt that very much).

This time even moreso -- he seems to have his balls and his bite back. I laffed throughout. Though no matter how much he hates Joyce, "who unfortunately is still alive" is a bit OTT.
The Morricone news is fascinating. The first five letters of their names are the same -- graphic designers of the world unite.
And to the US whingers (kidding), it looks like you'll have your shows. A show in St. Louis but not Tokyo?? Yikes.

How many other "established" acts write such elegaic travel prose to their fans (sorry AUDIENCE!) and still sound enamoured with the beauty of life, in such a self-deprecatory manner.
Its wonderful to know that, as the song says, he's "still the same underneath..."

I love it!! I'm liking this new talkative Morrissey. Isn't it great that he bothers? I'd have thought he'd have had enough of us by now and be glad to get back to his quiet life.
He is really taken with Kristeen Young, isn't he? Can't share in his enthusiasm there. I thought she was awful, but good for her getting a big thumbs up from Morrissey and a plug for her single.
I'm glad he's had as much pleasure in the tour as we have. Well most of us anyway.

Here’s a few less entertaining ones of my own.
I remember Kristeen at the gig I went to. Confess, I wasn't prepared for such a sound, and unable to block it out with earplugs I retreated to the bar along with many others, who had been resting in the auditorium. Give her credit, though, she's got a voice and plenty of guts to be so different. I'll try again to listen with an open ear, but good luck to her whatever..(you can't please everyone).
Last night I noticed a lovely full moon over the rooftops, the clouds scudding across, glowing, then returning to darkness. The appreciation of beauty takes us out of our own small worlds and into a shared human experience.
I saw the excruciating “download” speech from “V”on youtube. Whilst many bands might simply go “please download this” Morrissey dragged it out over several minutes with a show of great reluctance that would have had the Sanctuary people tearing their hair out. A sweet piece of revenge in my thinking and strangely entertaining in a “headlights” kind of way.
I love it when Morrissey talks between songs. It builds a rapport with the audience and is often very funny.
On the possible Autobiography.. However the rambling style could cause headaches and lost Amazon acreage if judicious editing doesn’t occur. We might end up with a first chapter longer than the last Harry Potter book! Look forward to the possibility anyway…
I can see the annoyance with spelling mistakes. More care should be taken in professional matters.
On a domestic note, as a fellow perfectionist, it annoys me greatly when I find the computer keyboard has been left so it doesn’t line up with the edge of the table… people can be so inconsiderate.
Let’s hope the US tour goes ahead and includes numerous dates. Who knows, Mc Donalds might just go out of business! Fingers crossed for all you American hopefuls.
And thanks to Morrissey for …..everything.

The bits I liked were:
“I will try my best to be interesting although I fare far better these days with hand signals.”
He feels the criticism, so voids it by nullifying himself first – freedom!
“A lone British voice said "'ullo Morrissey" but otherwise I went unnoticed and felt securely at home. I sat on the grass in the park and, when the sun struck at a certain angle, I felt that life really wasn't that bad. This moment passed quickly.”
Great image! Ohmmmmm Ohmmmm, under the bodhi tree! Now is oh! too soon!
“We would be pushed out by 'artists' whose audience wouldn't fill an average kitchen in a Battersea council flat.”
This is patently true, and encapsulates the farce of arm-twisting commerce versus stupendous live music.
“the Point would've been better… the Point would've been better.”
Please let the Point be amongst any end-of-year UK tour venues. : )
…”the Immediate” – there’s a big buzz here about this band, must pay more attention…
“Now, I stick one word after another in the hope of making a sentence.”
I know the feeling too well, but Morrissey’s only being modest, his word-stock overflowing in comparison to everybody else.
“If they don't make mistakes they will die.”
Don’t we all know people like this, the dastardly subterfuge of it!
“It was unsettling for me to sing to people who were chatting amongst themselves and looking away and knitting sweaters whilst I yelped my guts out.”
There there Moz! Hee Hee!
“Joy, joy, joy.”
Did Morrissey actually say this?! But this collaboration is wonderful news.
“Now, much more importantly, I seek no praise for predicting [in Uncut magazine in April] that Italy would win the World Cup.”
Dianamystery.com, you were right all along!
“Finicky ways pay off.”
It sounds like an Irish proverb, let’s hope it’s true.
“For your own sakes, take care.”
This sounds very sincere, we’re all maturing alone but together.

The Joyce thing made me laugh, I wouldnt take it too seriously.
I liked Kristeen Young actually. Im no critic but I thought should could do with a bit more variety musically, though. Still enjoyable I think.
Looking forward to hearing the Morricone piece and hope Mozz keeps up these correspondance. Perhaps he could write a blog? Heh.

Morricone collaboration (Score:0)
If it goes well, do you think he might consider an album with Morricone (a la Costello/Bacharach?). Or, at the very least, will their collaboration appear on his next album or as a stand alone single like 'Interlude'? And if the collaboration is a one off and it DOES prove to be a triump, might it spur Morrissey to widen the net of his collaborations for the next record?
Anything to minimise the contribution of the currently plodding line up.
I personally think Moz should accept only one contribution (e.g. the very best) from Alain and Boz per album from now on, and look elsewhere for the rest. So, we'd get our 'First of the Gangs' and 'Trouble Loves Me' (e.g. their very best, undoubtedly excellent, work) but wouldn't have to put up with the mountain of mediocrity they offer him these days.
Let this be the signal of a fresh, more adventurous stage in M's career.
Of course it won't be.
