Can't say what or when, but I heard from a reliable source that he is working with Blink182 producer Jerry Finn. Should be interesting don't ya think??

I hope this is a joke...

let me guess, the rumored title is "yes I'm still alive even though everyone hates me and my friends and wants us to die a miserable death"

I seriously thought this was going to be about a gallbladder operation or something.

Not a joke

it's just crazy talk

I loved the man in the Smiths and his first solo work, but he's become so redundant...Oh well, who knows, maybe he still has a surprise up his sleeve. Y'all will have to tell me if he does, cos I ain't buying it...

Whoa! That's harsh coming from you.

I'll check it out. It'll be good at least for the tour.

No shit, his shows are CRAZY!!

I can only imagine. I've never been.

Hey, I LOVE Moz and I'm not ashamed of it. His "Maladjusted" album was a favorite of mine in 1997.

And these lyrics remind me of someone...

"So the choice I have made
May seem strange to you
But who asked you anyway?
It's my life to ruin my own way"
--Alma Matters

careful, garnish. you're going to ruin your rep liking a musical act as mainstream as Morrisey.

AaronAlmighty said:

Morrissey mainstream?

Isn't he the gay celibate?

Janfriend said:

Something like that.

TRON said:

for garnish, he is. i mean, people have heard of him and stuff...

TRON said:

I was wondering the same thing?

garnis said:

he's as mainstream as many of the bands you make fun of others for liking...

like I said:
"I loved the man in the Smiths and his first solo work, but he's become so redundant"

I could clairfy that to read: "and his earlier solo work"

but, I just feel that his albums got stuck in a rut. He still has some witty lyrical moments, but, IMO, it was interesting to hear a guy in his early adulthood sing about being unloved, unwanted and misunderstood...but for this same person to be whining (YES HE WHINES) about the same crap in his forties...well, it just seems a titch pathetic




k, that was harsh, I'll be nice now and say: If he does tour I would go see him, he does a great live performance, I've just tired of his studio work...

I hope he has new musicians + humour in the lyrics & no more "no sexuality, nobody loves me " silliness, everybody knows that he's gay & nobody cares

This is old news if you're a Moz fan. But it's good news anyway!

Never got Morrisey or The Smiths.Don't know why they're talked about in the 'serious' music press in England like they're some sort of gods.

Cuz they fuckin' RULE, that's why! Sounds better than half the crap that's around these days.

No fucking kidding.

...with all due respect to yer opinion, "those" very observances are whats MADE him one of the MOST unduplicated, perpetual artist of OUR time! his lyrics are soo "coy", tha' musician "today" could LEARN ah thing er two about "meshing" in a band...they "clicked"! an as for humour, well...i guess you could say thats "lacking" but LOVE period isnt always like ah box of chocolates! i surpose if you want "silliness" you should turn to some bubble-gum bands for support...

Yes, he is very good. Not too keen on the Homebase adverts but his portrayal of Bob The Builder is top drawer stuff!

From www.morrissey-solo.com:

In May 2003, Morrissey signed to Sanctuary Records, after years of rumors and speculation. Morrissey's last release was on Mercury Records in 1997. Recording started late in the year with producer Jerry Finn, with a release target of mid 2004.

A Fan wrote on december 31:

"I was lucky enough to check out the December 28th and 29th Boz Boorer (Morrisseys guitar player) shows in New York. Both nights I chatted with Boz and he mentioned that there are about 21 tracks recorded and four more months left in the studio."

WE LOVE YOU, MOZ!!!

NWF said:

nice photo!!!

I may poke fun at him now, but I'll always think he's dreamy


'member back in the day when he was on MTV's afternoon show (like TRL, but pre-TRL) for Your Arsenal?
That was a crazy time...

that said I still don't understand why Everyday Is Like Sunday hasn't been n°1 everywhere, it's a masterpiece in Pop history , just after Yesterday imo

NWF said:

Yeah, what he said!
