and who the fcuk wants more live songs?

Deliberately unflattering photo?!

I should say so!

They purposely picked the worst one they could find, and one from 2006 instead of '07, no less.
I'm sure they had quite a laff while doing so, as well. Arses.

Conor, go to hell.

Le cadeau de Morrissey
mardi 11 décembre 2007

"Non, nous n’allons pas vous parler des propos prétendument racistes qu’aurait tenu Morrissey au NME il y a deux semaines et dont une certaine presse bien pensante (alimentée par ceux que le président français appelle les « outrés professionnels ») profite pour entretenir une polémique aussi stérile que peu pertinente. Non, ce qui nous intéresse, c’est l’actualité musicale du Moz. Ses projets immédiats sont, outre sa tournée européenne, la sortie d’un nouveau best-of et d’un single inédit, That’s how people grow up. Ce single, dont la sortie est annoncée pour le 28 janvier 2008, peut être considéré par les fans comme un bien beau cadeau. Et pour cause, outre ce nouveau morceau, le CD comprendra rien de moins que trois titres live en bonus : The last of the famous international playboys, Why don’t you find out for yourself et le classique des Smiths The boy with the thorn in his side. C’est Jerry Finn, producteur de You are the quarry, l’album paru en 2004, qui a été chargé de la production de ce nouveau morceau. La chanteuse américaine Kristeen Young (récemment éjectée de la première partie de la tournée après avoir tenu des propos désobligeants à l’encontre de Morrissey) aurait également participé à sa réalisation.

Pour ce qui est de la tournée, rappelons les quatre concerts annoncés en France : le 16 janvier à la Coopérative de Clermont-Ferrand, le 18 à la Laiterie à Strasbourg, le 19 l’Aéronef de Lille et le 4 février à l’Olympia de Paris. Autre évènement pas banal : du 21 au 30 janvier, Morrissey tiendra une résidence à Londres, au Roundhouse, où il donnera six concerts (déjà tous sold-out)".

I just can't believe that in 2008 we have Morrissey putting out 7" singles. Think about that for just a second. 7" singles. Nice little stop-gaps until the new album. I honestly think that's pretty amazing. And if Kristeen's voice is turned down enough in the mix I might actually buy one, too.

are going to www.myspace.com/morrisseysavedmylife

to share their ENTHUSIASM and GRATEFULNESS at this joyous news.

MORRISSEY ALWAYS

I've seen that face before live! :)

OK, this has now literally caused my brain cells (what's left of them - which isn't much) to be spinning around like the wash during the wash cycle in my washing machine and my brain is also scrambled eggs.
Will the real Slim Shady please stand up? Please stand up. Please stand up.

There must be someone out there who can validate which of all of these alleged compilations are valid.

Thank You

Kate

Like we really need live versions?????

it does look like he won the special olympics

Finally something (other than scandal and passion) to look forward to... :}

Not very exciting / inspiring b sides to go with the several formats of the single. Only sign of anything good is the fact that Morrissey has teamed up with the producer of his best ever studio album - surely it can't get as bad as Kill Uncle and Ringleader ever again !!

I happen to disagree. He is gorgeous in that photo. AND yellow suits him very well.

stinks.
hope no bugger buys it.
total shite

Don't do it in London
Really Morrissey, you think it's good?
Sad

I get that you banned me and such...but that is NO reason to not accept the news stories I submit!

I submitted this VERY story to you before it was ever posted in the forum...yet you ignored me and gave credit to "Maurice E"?! What the fuck?!

I suggest you pull the broomstick out of your ass and give credit where credit is due...

Our hero who gave us hope has turned into a nasty,vindictive,greedy little money grabbing man. What a load of shit to serve up as a first single,and the old live b-sides cop out eh? Didn't he already release 'WDYFOFY' on the Boy Racer single. Gradually the music gets worse,the concerts become more cabraet (hence the tons of Smiths songs) the waist line expands and the quiff will receed.I once loved you Moz and have travelled far and seen you 53 times,but now enough is enough,you don't need need my money anymore I'm sure....You just need to think of your fans once in a while who got you those millions in the first place putting you on the pedastool.

So the Smiths didn't make the cut to the Rock n Roll hall of fame. I suppose that argument a few months back about this was all for NOTHING!
