Well, Santaolalla is a very succesful Argentinean rock/pop producer based in LA, but not everything he touches turns into gold... Let's hope the outcome comes out with some quality and not another Morrissey + Siouxsie fiasco or something as tacky as Morrissey singing in awfully pronounced Spanish.

And what would sir like to drink?
I'll have a Morrissey and Tango please...and a twix.

Excellent choice, sir.

If this cosmic tango vibe turns into actual music it should be quite interesting. Many South American bands thrive on mixing different, foreign sounds, and put their own vibe into it, so if Moz should do the same he would be doing something very nicely unusual in the saxon pop music scene. I think he has already done some of his cosmic (or, rather, cosmopolitan) vibe with his first song from the ROTT album and a song called Good Looking Man About Town (which has no doubt a sizzling oriental vibe to it).

Whilst I have been battling with joyless trolls and hapless bigots on this very forum this afternoon, poor old Swallowneck has reaped the rewards of not bathing it would appear...

His little green pills may cleanse from within, but that has not stopped a boil the size of a golf ball from appearing on his left buttock! Swallowneck had to go to see his GP to have it lanced this afternoon, which was rather embarrassing for him. When the small incision was made into the festering boil, the red hot yellowy-green matter within spurted all over the doctor's face.

Imagine the loss of dignity - Swallowneck on his side with his bare butt exposed as the boil was being drained and the GP wiping smelly pus from his face and hair!!!

So think on before you diss the Cult Of Swallowneck...

It'd be the kind of step that Morrissey needs to take to regain some creativity. Even if it didn't work, it would still be different from the mid-tempo rock he's been doing for so long.

that our Mozzer has got the multi-cultural, diverse ethnic vibe going on!

Puts all those bigotry/racist rumours to bed dunnit!

What next?

Belly dancing in Tunisia?

Doing the high kicks with the greeks smelling of meaty kebabs?

Having a hooley in Connemara a la Riverdance with the bacon&cabbage crowd?

Scottish country dancing with the lovely Ewan McGregor?

Pole vaulting with the the sweaty Olympian Bulgarians?

How about the sambada with Ricky Martin & Jennifur Slopez - bet HE lurves threesomes!

Tribal dancing with the Maoris in New Zealand is the way to go Mozzag!

Don't forget to do the 'pas the deux' with RitaSueBobToo in Swine Lake!

anyone want to see scans of some interesting letters?

Here is an article on an argentinian newspapers

It says the album is probably out in Sept. called "Mar Dulce" which means sweet sea.

My all time favourite artist working with another of my favourites - two geniuses. I would buy two copies of the album just to say thank-you.

Swallowneck is probably watching a pornographic film and tucking into some mexican takeout ! thattaboy!

At least the thought of me in the nude entered your dark and twisted thoughts... albeit briefly. I just hope you didn't whack one off at the same time though!

Swallowneck is not not himself anymore. Let's put him out of his misery.......oh and while we're at it, let's get rid of Mark From Scatter as well. It only seems right.
