I like his new image. This blue looks better against the slate grey on the site.

ZOMG I just thought of something. I cutout his name in script. Wait, no. Not real. Not happening. Freaking out. No. Not real. Shit OMG. I'm crazy, I'm just crazy. Claudia2006? Amy? Where are you? I'm nuts, right? Tell me I'm nuts.

Of course you're nuts. I remember you did some parrot cutout thing that was beautiful, but I don't remember you posting his name in script. (Those horses were gorgeous too, do you sell your work on Etsy?)

[CrystalGeezer]

It was a fake album cover. I live in this imaginary world of seeing signs and being sort of crazy. I made the cutout of the cockatoo (named Baby) because she was holding an onion or "union" in birdspeak. I thought unity would be a good symbol of a new album. In the cutout I made Morrissey's name all scripty. In my imaginary world Morrissey's my soulmate, we speak to each other through nature, it's amazing and very lonely. But to see that he's perhaps taking cues from my silly little art project is frightening because it's real, it means maybe it's real, that he's paying attention. I mean I know he is, but to mimic a font style? That's HUGE. I am nuts, and I always believe in Morrissey, but he's an unattainable myth to me whom I defend and protect in my dreams. I also dream of a reality with him, but what if a reality is possible? Nevermind. It's just a coincidence. I wrote a letter, he didn't return it. He'd return a letter if he knew. Then again, I did just move. Dammit.

No, I give my artwork away. Do you want some? PM me. :)

Why must we continually register and reregister with Morrissey's sites. A new site gets set up for each album release, we register, we get a few communiques from the site then nothing. Then a new site and the cycle starts over. Why aren't the registered people sent a message that the site is being revamped or something and asked if they want to stay on, instead of all the renewing.

And some content at these official sites would be nice.

from the sign up page: (Occasionally we may send you updates about other Rock artists from us. If at any stage you wish to opt out of these updates you will be given the opportunity to do so on the first and any subsequent updates you receive).

"Rock artists"? I think this proves Morrissey has little to no connection with the sites.

[CrystalGeezer]

And one last thing then I'll shut up. Baby's content with her onion. Eating. When she's not content she freaks out and can bite, something like this:

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3244/3077056521_6dcc7cfe60_o.jpg


I suspect Morrissey is aware of this, the care and feeding of Baby. Don't put her in the corner either. It's about harmony, equilibrium, balance, fairness. Morrissey knows how to assist in these things.

Okay, I'm done.

I feel the same, but those things are beyond Morrissey's control.

We no longer get emails from true-to-you.

What happened to that special Morrissey release we were meant to get last time we registered there? DId I miss out on something because nobody sent me anything...

[the beast]

i got nothing. it did say stand by for a special release or something. probably the re issue of southpaw. god knows:(

I ran out of room and just did it without since it was a non serious mockup.

No E = We know.

[starless]

How do you like it blue on blue?
I admit it - the new type looks much better on a shirt than on a CD sleeve ...

the truth is, my dear, there's nowhere to go. ever.

I don't mean to belittle anyone's creativity, but being the natural critic that I am, I think the graphic is set too low on the shirt. It is at armpit level; I think it should should start midway between armpit and shoulder (on the sleeve) so it sits higher on the chest.

I absolutely agree with you. I use GIMP, which I'm shit at, so sorry for that.

Peter

Oh, no apologies needed. I am no good at creative things like that, but I can always find a fault (in my eyes).
I, not too long ago, learned of GIMP and haven't been able to make heads or tales of it yet. I even followed a tutorial step by step and wasn't able to get the result instructed.

[CrystalGeezer]

You can't make heads or tails of the guy tied up in the basement with the ball in his mouth? :)

[Dow Jones]

Oh god it's that font again. I'm going to die from laughter by the end of the year, aren't I?

Okay. I give up. Let us in on the inside joke.

That font is just wayyyy to awesome for Moz, let's just face it. :p

I'll never get used to this crazy font.... :(

So you like it?

[Dow Jones]

So you like it?

Well, yeah. If the font was used for not Moz.
As of now it's just hilarious and slightly embarrassing, but that's cool too.

I guess I could play this game all night with you.

BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WTF YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.

That's because you're blind and apparently find Morrissey to be like totally psychedelic, duuuuuuude. :p

[CrystalGeezer]

I'm not blind, you're blind. Morrissey's a font, a fountain to be exact. See? Since he's the fountain, those are the kegs between his legs. Suck it, Dow.

http://www.alchemywebsite.com/paintings/fountain01.jpg

[CrystalGeezer]

I meant suck it in a jokey, nice way. I never thought it was psychodelic duuuude. I just mentioned that it evoked that mood more than an arts & crafts one because the type was tacked onto the image as opposed to worked in as a whole.

Unity is different than "Lets get stoned and feel the love, maaaan." though I know there's an element of that involved.

[Dow Jones]

LMAO! I admit defeat, the typeface is great and so are the tits in that picture :p

[the judge]

girl or boy?

you choose. i just said a random thing.

[sweet and tender hooligan]

I liked the old website where the fans could add their own content. Do you think they will keep that?

[the beast]

you choose. i just said a random thing.

i thought you was a fella, don't know why. but the "my dear" comment makes me think your a female. if not a female then, well.....:rolleyes::confused:

[your dictionary]

I'll never get used to this crazy font.... :(

(sniff) Me neither. It might look cool on a black t-shirt, but not on as a font on that album sleeve! Someone mentioned on the main page yesterday that the font screamed, "The Steve Miller Band" and I sadly agree. EOH, maybe there's time for them to change it, but now with these shirts, maybe not...:(

i agree it should be the same font as GH , as it was quite classic , i like the picture but not the font

the latter one, but i like it when people think i am boy. i always think people on forums are male, unless they have a girly avatar or say girly things.

i'm glad your a bird. the thought of a fella saying "my dear" as well as calling themselves "the judge" doesn't bode well:mad: but all's well kid:p

[Kewpie]

I just clicked the link Peter posted on page 1, the new logo has been disappeared.

You can see the one we're familiar with.

*edit*

just few minutes later I posted this, it says new site is coming soon.

I was lucky to see old one for the last time. :p

[Franissey]

I just clicked on it and there is more info plus the new logo plus a link to SEE tickets site where on Friday (tomorrow) you can buy tickets to three shows!

[EPbabe]

His myspace page changed too. :guitar:

[CrystalGeezer]

That's because you're blind and apparently find Morrissey to be like totally psychedelic, duuuuuuude. :p

Dow, I got to thinking. This statement is half true. Though I don't find Morrissey to be psychedelic, I am very blind. For instance, I was so convinced that Morrissey was lying about his whereabouts that I imagined he staged being at the Doll & the Kicks shows but was actually hiding out in America. I have a problem history of people lying to me. I am blind. You win. :p But Morrissey's still a fountain and the tits are nice, aren't they?

Its the not the exact same font but the first thing I thought of when I saw this was Fairport Convention :eek:

[dcn]

I pictured a bunch of stoners rolling out of the side of a VW Bus down by the beach getting ready to hit the waves.

I don't care for the font but whatever...

[Walter Ego]

I see that Morrissey's latest official website www.itsmorrisseysworld.com is following in the long established tradition of official Moz sites by not posting any of the important information first.

In fact it isn't even posting anything new at all.
And did you put your phone number into the box that promised to alert you first with tour dates etc?
Triumph of hope over experience I think.

Thank God/David (delete according to taste) for Solo.

[Not Right in the Head]

Still with no new news.

[cherrylipstick]

How comprehensive that site now is:p and the latest news are from 08....

[Danny_]

Exactly the same site as before but with different titles/image. I hope Polydor realise that would have taken the designers an afternoon to set up. I wonder what they're paying them.

[Oh my god, it's Robby!]

well, once others come back here and tell me how it is
i might check it out, maybe...

[Vauxhall95]

And I wonder how I can get that gig...

In retrospect, the Decca signing has been nothing short of a disaster. I'm still flabbergasted at the marketing geniuses who came up with the "AYNIM" single release. They make it a one week only release and bury "My Dearest Love" on 7" vinyl and don't get me started on the tens of dollars spent recording the video promo for "AYNIM." I hope Morrissey has fulfilled his contract and can move on. That Starbucks label isn't looking half bad.

You're totally right about the Starbucks label. It may seem like the ultimate sellout, but it sure as hell would get his music in front of many, many thousands more listeners than it would otherwise.

[Vauxhall95]

You're totally right about the Starbucks label. It may seem like the ultimate sellout, but it sure as hell would get his music in front of many, many thousands more listeners than it would otherwise.

At this point in his career, the idea of anyone accusing Morrissey of being a sellout is ludicrous. He's done nothing but buck the trend his whole career. If, at this point, he wants to sign with Starbucks more power to him. I think he has earned a great deal of latitude from his fanbase.

[Uncleskinny]

Content looks like it was before, but smarter (http://www.itsmorrisseysworld.com/). I like how the baby is pointing the way to the tour.

P.S although I see this site is not on the links list anymore.

Probably because Morrissey is no longer solo.

Probably because Morrissey is no longer solo.

Eh?

I assumed it was because of those rumours about the owner of this site. I've said too much.

[anon x]

P.S although I see this site is not on the links list anymore.

Perhaps,because Moz(or his record company)are pissed off with the blatant downloading of YOR promoted on here?

[Je Suis Julie]

Has anyone read the new bio / interview on the Lost Highway website?

http://www.losthighwayrecords.com/morrissey/about/

[jesuisbryony]

"he is enjoying a very private joke, one he started telling himself over thirty years ago and which is slowly creeping towards a quite extraordinary punch line." :)

[Je Suis Julie]

I had to look up Welsh Rarebit.

I don't get out much, apparently. :p

[Claudia2006]

Thanks for the heads up Julie. :D

Yes, THIS exactly..... :guitar: The mystery interviewer put this way better than I have when I've tried to explain why Moz's newer music and songs don't sound like the Smiths, Viva Hate, Vauxhall, and so on.....


First of all he must move on from the days when he sang for the Smiths, cataloguing a pungent psychohistory of early wounds, which both gave him his freedom, and trapped him inside a prison of expectation, and now he must move on each time he makes an album on his own. Even though he has made his musically traditionalist mind up what his songs will sound like – reminding him and us of the music he liked before he even started making music - and each song will reflect certain recurring even consoling patterns, none of them will come close to doing the same thing twice. Some songs will be deeper, sweeter, nastier, wiser than others, some not quite as definite and beautiful, some not as explosively devious, some more laconic, self conscious and glittering than ever, but ultimately he carries on, not by comparing new songs to old songs in the way critics and fans do, but simply – although it’s not that simple – by writing songs that reflect how he feels at the moment.

These songs relate to the fact that he has already written special, desperately touchy songs about how he felt during the 70s, 80s and 90s, during his teens, 20s, 30s and 40s. The person who wrote those songs in the 1980s is now writing these new songs twenty/twenty five years later, and he is clearly the same person, but different, precisely because he wrote those 1980s songs, and because he decided to carry on.
