Morrissey to Release New York Dolls CD and DVD - Filter Magazine, Sep. 9, 2004

The much-awaited performance by the New York Dolls at the 2004 Meltdown Festival in London will be captured in all its glory with both a CD and DVD, titled Morrissey Presents the Return of the New York Dolls: Live from Royal Festival Hall 2004. The equally iconoclastic Morrissey took great pains to arrange the festival lineup around the punk architects and the performance itself did not disappoint. Feature tunes included “Looking for a Kiss,” “Jet Boy,” and “Trash.” The show was also the final appearance for bassist Arthur "Killer" Kane, who passed away shortly thereafter due to cancer. The CD covers all the tracks highlighted in the set, while the DVD includes all kinds of bonus footage, including band interviews and rehearsals.

According to www.popnews.com, Morrissey will be in Paris on November 22. It's a rumour, but this website is quite serious...

Got a signed copy of Viva Hate on CD? It could be that the signature is none other than Vini Reilly's!

In an interview in the Manchester Evening News 10th September (link), Vini claims that both Morrissey and himself were given 100 copies of each others album and they thought it would be amusing if they both faked each others signature and signed the CD's in question!

Jonathan Coe, author of 'The Rotters Club', talks about 'You Are The Quarry' in this month's edition of 'Word' magazine. It's clear he's a Smiths/Morrissey fan but he expresses his disappointment with the new record. Sadly, I'm afraid I largely agree with his sentiments. Here's what he says:

"I've been trying to like the new Morrissey album. Lyrically he's still on fantastic form and there are two or three wonderful lyrics, particularly the one about forgiving Jesus. But I just think that musically it's so many notches below what he did with Johnny Marr. It's so unexceptional that it just grates on the ear after a while. He's one of the great English comic versifiers, but it's been heralded as a huge comeback and if you listen with a bit of objectivity, you can see that's hype. It's a good record but not as special as the Morrissey machine has been making out".

How very true those words are. Time for some new musicians, then...... (I know I can expect some stick for that comment, but I'll take it!!!).

Has anyone seen the movie "The Secret Lives of Dentists"? Well, it sounds like the music of "Journalists who lie" is playing throughout the movie, but Morrissey is not credited on any of the film's websites & it's really starting to bug me...if it's not him, than whomever it is completely ripped him off! If anyone knows lemme know, cuz that would be great...thanks...
