He's not going to get signed to a label at the moment. They'll wait until he's got a publisher for his autobiography then they'll sign him.
The book publishers, dvd producers & record labels all have synchronised watches. One isn't going to act until they can bang out a schedule with the others.
Wasn't there a news piece that included a bit of an interview with someone from Penguin saying that they'd be willing to look into his demands? I feel like by this point it's already in the works, because in another interview he said the book would be out by December 2012 (the same interview he slags off Michael Buble). If he's saying this, then it probably means that the wheels are already turning..
It's easy to have this mentality when you have no knowledge of Morrissey's completely unreasonable expectations for a record deal.
I find it very unbelievable, however, that someone could be so deluded that they would think that anything posted on this website could make anything NEAR a significant change in Morrissey's career moves.
Ofcourse you do Sparkleboy.I second that emotion.
Hi Vivahate, do you really dislike the last album that much? I thought it was pretty good. Also, a lot of the reports from the current are that his voice is in good form.If you're looking for some straws to grasp at, the fact that Morrissey has recorded sessions with Tony Visconti is something positive. So that means there is, at minimum, one single already recorded and in the can...the bad news is, whatever that song is, it's gonna suck. With no Whyte compositions, Tobias on guitar and songwriting duties, and Morrissey's lyrics and vocal range dying a slow, paniful death, there really isn't much hope for the new album.
Still, I don't think it is going to be much longer before a statement is released about the new record deal and album...

Ofcourse, this is just my opinion.
What do you think was his last decent album?

His voice is in 'good form' as much as a 52 year old man's voice can be...but you have to face the facts, his voice now is a shell of what it used to be. His voice now is nowhere near the voice that made me start listening to him. It is deep and monotone and he rarely varies from that these days, though he could if he wanted to. At least he isn't covering up his weaknesses with random noises during live performances now, though.
Agreed. I always laugh when I see posts from this past year which say, "His voice sounds the best it ever has."
I'm also in the minority who prefers his singing voice from the early 'solo' days and the Smiths.
However, I thought it sounded great in the live shows I saw back in the summer. His singing on I Know It's Over was a sublime as the recorded version.
Moz cannot get a Record Deal, this is what he says (if I am not wrong) It just seems insane as nowadays even an unknown bloke who cannot sing can actually get one and Moz cannot.....There must be things that we do not know..for example the conditions Moz imposes onto a Record Label. Please help me guys
Cheers Moz
Well I have to embarass myself and say that I think his voice improves with time. I find it richer and deeper as he ages. This is not unusual. Sinatra at 50 was at his peak. Because of this I prefer his later interpretations of Smiths songs.
