Kind of off-topic, but...
In terms of unreleased/unheard recordings, I find it unfortunate that Morrissey doesn't go with Indie labels and 'net activity for releasing unreleased stuff like this...
I imagine it'd be a really good way to spark interest and attention from major labels in terms of proper full-lengths and new singles... And there are countless Indie labels that would love the opportunity to put out a string of official 7" records for him... Have fans vote for ones they'd like released or some shit like that, IDK... He doesn't even have to do any of that through "DIY" routes or digital downloads; It's merely a means of making himself more of a presence in a (however unfortunate it may be) largely "digital" world of today.
To quote someone in a letter, I too dislike our modern "techo lifestyle" and make no efforts to be assimilated into it when possible, but Moz can't really expect to live forever in this idealized world of Pop charts and 45's if (much of) the rest of the world's moved on to downloading and ippids and whatnot. I mean, there has been the whole vinyl revival thing anyway, but people are still attached at the hip to smartphones and iPads and shit, so what better way to exploit this than by being more of a presence online?
IDK. I'm rambling here, so sorry if I sound incoherent. Snot-nosed brats, do your worst.
