Re: Amanda Palmer to Morrissey: Let me help you crowdsource your next album - salon.c
If that doesn't convince him, nothing will.
Oh, don't worry, it won't.
On a side note, are her eyebrows tattooed on? I've never seen that before. A letter from one noteworthy browed musician to another.
Ah ha Rowntree! So you're a vinyl man. I don't know if you're a North London man but in East Finchley there's a great 2nd hand record shop, Alans. Let me know if you want the address.For me any worthwhile music must be recorded on analogue and must be released on vinyl. Digital is fine for a quick listen but it's nowhere near as enjoyable as the real thing.
Anyway, Morrissey's problem isn't so much that he can't get a record out, more that himself and any prospective label can't agree how it would be funded.
I think, given Morrissey's no doubt personal wealth, that he could fund his own recording if he desperately wanted to get his music out. I know he's a man of principle and it's not what he wants to do but maybe it's time he remembered that young twenty something who had no choice but to make records. At the end of the day, it isn't like any record company doesn't claw back the costs of the recording process anyway, it would just be that Morrissey pays up front rather than after, it really does make no difference in the long run.
In short, just get on with it already.

It's East Finchley on the main road, about a mile and a half from the tube. PM me when you think you may be around and I'll send you the exact address.Yes Peter! I'm miles off North London but when I visit my mrs' cousin I might have chance to drop in, where is it?
London's full of great record stores, Soho especially, and then there's Beano's in Croydon...
Hopefully they're all still there!
