...who's the bitch in the background?

Lionel

Is that a photo from that session that people grumbled about a few months ago, where Moz was hanging around a graveyard, cuddling a cat, etc.?

ohhhhh why does he have to be so devastatingly handsome..?
*sighs*

Where's the funny comment about "the bitch in the background" gone?
Well I thought that was funny anyway.

By the very nature of me accessing this site every few hours, i am clearly a huge moz fan but.......... after looking at the track listing for the new single i noticed that it includes 'Its Hard to walk tall when your small' which has already been released as a b-side. And if he is making There is a light.an a-side then that is just cheap

I remember Rodondo Beach being a great track, well worthy of an a-side, but doesn't anyone else out there think it is just pathetic to re-release a b-side, or a live version of an old smiths track. He writes such great songs, but keep them coming NEW and UNRELEASED please, not old and rehashed/well worn

Can anyone be bothered working out how much it will cost to get :

1. All the DVDs and CDs being issued over the next few weeks.

2. Just the one's that are needed to have all the performances without duplication(I mean without buying just for the sake of buying/having, as a collecter etc. )

Quite a lot I suspect, and not a new song to be found on any of them!!

wouldve been to juste simply release the last Jancie Long session as a single:

I'm Playing Easy To Get
Redondo Beach
Noise Is The Best Revenge
It's Hard To Walk Tall When You're Small

thats a perfect single right there- two new songs, one new cover and the only ever live performance of "It's Hard To Walk Tall When You're Small". whatsmore, only one of the tracks, "Redondo Beach", will be appearing on either the new live CD or live DVD due for release this month so thered be little overlap [rather than the pointless inclusion of "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out"].

if Morrissey wanted to release a new single, but he didnt want to do any work this wouldve been the perfect, lazy solution.

I hope Moz avoids being so overtly commercial with his next album.

I think it's a great idea to publicise There is a Light because it's a song lots of people know and lots of casual fans would buy it as a single without ever buying a Smiths or Morrissey album. So it has a chance to get in the top 3. It could definitely raise his profile still further before the next album and autobiography.

I hope he stops releasing singles in about 5 formats soon though - it leaves a bitter taste in the mouth from one so knowingly tasteful.

I'm sorry but that cover looks like it's had 2 full minutes of effort put into it. As a forward thinking Moz fan I don't normally like groaning on about how things were better in "the good old days" but surely his earlier artwork is far superior to the ones we've been getting lately? Let Me Kiss You was quite good, but awful font. As for the font on the new single release OH MY GIDDY AUNT. It's horrible, horrific... an obvious Paint Shop Pro job, can't Moz put a bit of effort into his sleeves like he used to?

The last really good cover was "Roy's Keen" (pity about the record) and we've had nothing but half-arsed efforts since then. Either bring back Jo Slee or pull the finger out yourself Moz. The music is great these days but the artwork (an essential part of the overall "record" experience) sucks. A good start would be to ditch the yucky fonts and get some sort of consistent "Morrissey" logo. The one from Maladjusted was perfect IMO.

Is there a Joy Division tribute going on there? First the statue, and then if you click on the picture, it shows an alternate cover featuring the same sort of teardrop-shaped guitar that Ian Curtis used to play?

i have the 2track promo cd for the new single & that picture is on the backsleeve of it anyway so no new picture apparently

there is a light is 1 of the best smiths songs in my opinion. i saw moz preform this live on jules holland over the xmas period and it was brilliant! im glad that this is being re-released as it will be giving the pleasure that i got from this song to other newer fans.

He looks bored but not as bored as we will when we hear it. I wish he would pop down to a tube station and pick up a couple of tramps and get them to play guitar on his new record.

Maybe he could cover that Phil Collins record about the homeless. I hope he doesn't read this might give him ideas...

morrissey gets more and more handsome as each day passes. i would like to have his child.
