when I read 'the news' from the 'tourgirlz'.

These 4 lines certainly ruined the good vibes
I've had past weeks.

Phew I'm beaten, down and out.

Did you really expect the Moz Girls to break this story first??

I am getting really sick of all the rumors about him signing. Please people, do not post anything unless you know it is for SURE. It makes you look really bad if you post something as big as Morrissey getting a record deal, only to have it not be true. Lets hope it is true, since all of our hopes were put so high. Is there anyone else here who feels the same?

but my source is better than his source and it says that a deal was signed on the way over to London with Sanctuary.

Hope I'm right!

So there.

Why would Morrissey talk of not having a single offer from any UK label...if he knew he was on the verge of signing a deal with Sanctuary???

Things do look positive though...three or four months ago may of us where negatively talking about Morrissey's retirement, particularly after many of us received emails from Amazon telling us that the new Morrissey album never was.....the new songs are a statement of intent if nothing else.

Tuesday and Wednesday were the best Morrissey concerts out of the ten I've been to..the only thing that's getting me down now is not having taken a camera (a lack of photos from the show on the net) and having to accept that there probably won't be any more UK dates this year and that I really shouldn't consider trying to get tickets for Paris or Dublin (especially if I want to keep my girlfriend!).

What I read was... "no deal has been signed as of yet." I believe the moztourgirls. I honestly think this is going to happen and bet the announcement comes sooner than later. It seems like way to many coincidences with the sanctuary people to not be true. You would have to believe that he thinks they are good enough to do a DVD but not the album. I, for one, don't believe that. As for the super-genious who asked if anyone would believe the moz girls would break the story: who better? they have been at every show for the past five years and are friendly with all the people around moz. I believe it indeed.

i believe in myself,
because i am me and more
the inner child stores the seed
the other person steals the greed
did you know greed was for sale
are you paying?
what am i saying?
Ain't no delaying !?!
Close,Close,Close . . .
The End

There are still better labels out there. Howabout ANTI? They have Tom Waits, Promise Ring and Nick Cave...sure they are run by Epitaph, but they will let Moz & co. do whatever the fuck they want...

OK, so maybe it has not happened yet, but I still firmly believe that it will happen any day now. While we were talking to Alain in San Diego last Sunday, he was saying that a real deal is very close to being worked out and an album hopefully around December. This came straight from his mouth, so I could belive it. And he seemed quite optimistic about it, so to me, it is more tangable than all of the rumours/let-downs we have all heard here over the past couple of years. We will have to be patient and see what happens over the next month or so. I truly feel that if all of the new songs I have heard are any indicator of how the new album might sound, I think that it could be brilliant. And like I have said before, out of all of the dozens of shows I have seen since the first in 91', these on this latest tour have been BY FAR, the best. I think that if they can get this album out soon, it's going to kick all of our asses hard. I really can't wait. Live boots are not gonna keep cutting it for much longer.

"The First of the Gang to Die" could be a chart-murdering single! For once a song in 2002 that is pretty and genuine and sincere...we need him to send all those whining, groaning, shitty-pantsed thugs back to the counter positions at Hot Topic and Best Buy and do something more productive than destroying the atmosphere of music!

Somewhere on this site someone asked if mozza condones violence and crime as he has a lot of latino gang fans and racist fans.
someone else replied with the lyrics:
  "outside the prison gates i love the romance of crime and i wonder does anybody feel the way i do and is evil just something u r or something u do?
sisiter im a
sister im a
all over this town"

Well, this got me thinking about those lyrics, has mozza ever explained them? i mean does he really enjoy crime and find it romantic? does he really condone violence and crime? Cos i certainly dont! i hate it! I am the complete opposite to a violent criminal! does this mean i dont fit in with you lot?!

You know, I don't understand how any of you can be so damn gullible. Tourgirlz? Ca mon now.
Anyway, nothing has been signed, doesn't mean, nothings been offered. He's tour for shits sake. I'm sure that with all the good press he's getting, that more than just something will come up, and probably has.
Keep your panties on, shut up and wait.
These things take time.

why o why is this man without a deal, the new songs are storming and have been described by a band member as "not the best of the other new ones" well they said somthing like that, indie,major,whatever as long as we can buy a new morrissey album! surely he could set up his own label? i mean if noel gallagher can do it anyone can.

I agree. PM rules and Morrissey is very good looking indeed. Jack the Ripper is a wonderful song and you lot should be enjoying the positive press, not getting fauz-depressed because it's 'only a matter of time'. Lighten up folks, at least he's still alive!
