A note from Morrissey on Tour of Refusal - MySpace.com blog
"I have survived the interrogation of Atlanta's Immigration officials and Myrtle Beach shall have me tomorrow nite (Friday), and the world from then onwards ... if the world can take it. One of the many penalties of being human is that tours often take a military push to start, well, all of our answers will be in our songs tomorrow night. The bloodbath starts at 7.30. Life is testing you out. Be ready for anything."

'Win It' Wednesday: New Morrissey Vinyl- PETA blog

Happy "Win It" Wednesday to you! With Canada's annual seal slaughter looming this month, we decided that a real hero for seals should be featured in our weekly giveaway. Musician and animal rights activist Morrissey has refused to play shows in Canada until the government agrees to stop letting hunters smash in baby seals' skulls. The former Smiths frontman just released his ninth solo album, Years of Refusal, and we snagged three limited-edition vinyl copies to pass along to you.

How do you win? Post a comment about your favorite thing that Morrissey has done for animals. The three people who post the most heartfelt answers will each win a copy of this limited-edition vinyl.

The contest ends on March 18, 2009, and we'll contact the winners on March 20, 2009. Be sure to read our privacy policy and terms and conditions, as you're agreeing to both by commenting. Check back every Wednesday for new prizes. Good luck!

Book Notes - Kathleen Rooney ("Live Nude Girl") - Largehearted Boy

In her own words, here is Kathleen Rooney's Book Notes essay for her book, Live Nude Girl: My Life as an Object:

"Let Me Kiss You," Morrissey, 2004

A lot of the artists I posed for had fantastic playlists, but one of the best iPods ever belonged to a sculpture professor at Boston University. When I was posing for him for a larger-than-life sculpture of "Lot's Wife," I heard this song for the first time and it made me happy-sad in the way that most Smiths/Morrissey endeavors do:

Close your eyes and think of someone you physically admire
 And let me kiss you, let me kiss you


But then you open your eyes and you see someone that you physically despise

But my heart is open, my heart is open to you.


Self-invention, self-absorption, self-abnegation, self-offering. Gender issues, body issues, identity and discovery. Longing for connection and fear that said connection may never occur. The eternal struggle between the real and the ideal. This song had it all, but was also kind of hilarious. One of the things I love about art modeling is the way it provides a space in which all body types, sizes, races and ages are truly welcome. But personally, I struggle (as most people probably do?) with how I feel about my appearance: about trying hard to be what somebody else wants over and over. Are you admired? Are you despised? How much control do you have over that anyway?

Sparks have announced details of a Morrissey-referencing limited edition vinyl single, to be released this March. The Mael brothers are planning the release to coincide with their upcoming London Forum shows, which see them perform two of their albums in full ("Exotic Creatures Of The Deep" and "Kimono My House"). The band will release "Lighten Up, Morrissey" on March 23. The vinyl version of the single is backed by the new song "Brenda's Always In The Way", while a download comes with "I Can't Believe That You Would Fall For All The Cr@p In This Song", which is taken from their 2008 album "Exotic Creatures Of The Deep".
