Hideous trait.
I agree, his marketing team need to think outside the box a bit more. There are loads more ways to promote a new single other than interviews. Even the Rolling Stones give away tickets and mechandise on the radio, there must be literally hundreds of ways to create a buzz with no extra pressure on the artist.
They have been completely lacking in creativity.
Yes, but surely it's difficult to create such a buzz 4 times a year?
Let's not forget that there will be 2 more Morrissey-singles out this year, and it will be much more important to promote them well, so I think they made a very wise decision in pulling this one. If only they hadn't made the very wrong decision to go ahead with this release first...
Nonsense. It's much easier to keep momentum going than to have to rebuild it every time. There are dozens of people I know who would like and download Morrissey songs if they even heard them- but they don't. They can't leave it solely up to the fanbase to evangelize. Even his lesser songs are better than nearly all of what's out there. Maybe he is unofficially blacklisted in the US, I don't know. He's certainly been pigeonholed as an "alternative" artist, and the "alternative" market that he was a part of doesn't exist anymore. There is no reason that he shouldn't be played on "adult contemporary" stations, or whatever they're called.
