no?

get stuffed

My God Im tired of that website already, Yeah make believe anything you want, fighting some kind of phoney crusade.

Put out some decent NEW material then perhaps they wouldnt need to go begging! Im getting confused as to who the crashing bores ars supposed to be now.

I think this is great! We the real fans have a chance to make a difference. Let's rally behind our man! I for one am buying both CD versions!!!

Morrissey is old-fashioned. He wants to be on the charts. He just doesn't get the fragmentation of the music market and how that's made the chart system meaningless.

But he wants to be on the charts. What is so wrong with downloading the song and helping him out? If he's ever helped you, you've ever laughed or cried to his music... help him. This is his life.

US residents can download from 7digital.com and it will count toward his chart standing.

What's pathetic is you people who have an opportunity to do something positive yet would rather be negative. Why don't you just stay home?!

just wondering, seeing as all you do is complain about him.

The mighty Swallowneck actually thought this very email in his online mailbox was an open invitation to remove the boring, homophobic swine on this very forum! It sadly wasn't...

Nonetheless, I have assured Swallowneck we can still work together and ultimately pick off those crashing bores that foul this forum up day after day with their humourless bile... one at a time!

Anyone wishing to join us is free to do so...

First time I downloaded the info on to my mobile I forgot to save the stuff.. (stupid)
so downloaded it again and I really like the version of THPGU from the roundhouse. Does that count to 2 downloads though if I only went to the site once? I did pay twice.

I'm still gussing it debut at either 5 or 6.

Well, the chances are, you'll probably never have the opportunity. If he didn't write the songs that saved your life. He certainly has shaped your life to some degree and influenced you to be who you are today. What you can to is push him up the chart and make him happier. Surely he has earned that from you. Please download That's how people grow up. For him.

when will this single be available in america?

Dude, this is stuff the record company is supposed to do! It is good to see that Polydor is pulling out all the stops to get behind Moz.

Do you really want to see some crap boy band or pop group be ahead of our beloved Morrissey on the charts? That's what would be pathetic! I'm downloading the single now...

Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! This smacks of insecurity to me?

Why, would Morrissey wish to "Battle" the Crashing Bores? Distance himself, perhaps? Get involved, no!

As a fan I'll but the one copy, thanks.

I think WE the fans deserve better, much better.

Its the only way he can sell albums. lets be honest his last 2 have pretty much sucked and the concert was fair at best. Stop wasting your money on this sinking ship. VIVA THE SMITHS!

This week I saw a picture of his arse adorning a dreadfully-chosen 'best of' whereas 15 years ago putting out 'best ofs' was considered an exercise in self-degradation and something to avoid drawing attention to if at all possible; 15 years ago, Morrissey would have sneered at these "ooh, buy my records!" pleas he keeps coming up with and possibly quit any record albel making them on his behalf; 15 years ago, Morrissey actually seemed semi-interested in writing music with an edge whereas today he's recycling bald, empty mid-paced rock tunes with lyrics that almost sound like you've heard them 15 times before and a distinct lack of lightness of touch. Where once there was delicacy, poise, self-deprecation and cutting wit, now there is brashness, turgid passive-aggressive anger/bitterness, self-parody and cliches.

I write as someone who adored Quarry and found positives in most of his work, including Ringleader and even Maladjusted.

I am eternally grateful for Morrissey's contribution to my life but I pity what I fear he is becoming. He is turning into a very sad, humourless man with a huge ego and a lack of vision and quality control.

Sort it out. Fire the band. Get out of your comfort zone. Stop imagining we wish to see you naked in 2007.

Let the third phase begin: whether it be grace or absolute self-destruction.

Play live almost never, put out record sleeves with a new theme (moving on from the olde England pictures on Smiths sleeveart and self-portraits on the solo stuff so far), try experimenting with the sound, and disappear into the background, popping up every 3 years to release a stunningly beautiful album.

Or disappear forever, publish the biography and finish your singing career.

For God's sake, don't destroy the image you so carefully crafted with crap sleeveart, cliched lyrics, turgid music and clothes befitting an ageing pub landlord.

he who is b-r-o-k-e-n

Let's all get behind this! I love Morrissey and I love this idea - let's get our man a #1 single!

i dont think morrissey should care about chart placings so much, you cant even compare him to the trash thats in the charts nowadays, hes in a whole other league. also the whole kwirky lyrics and song titles comments i keep reading- hes always done this, even in the smiths days. the cliches etc are done ironicly and in good humour. i think some people over react because they find it harder to accept coming from a slightly older man. hes doing what hes always done- making amazing songs.

Possee?

Old Skool?

Let's all bloody prove that music with integrity will always beat the pop trash that's out there nowadays. Come on and buy the digital single with me!

I have no respect for any artist who "charts" in the mainstream these days. It almost always means that they're no good at all, and should be avoided at all costs.

Screw the charts and anyone who follows them. It's time to pay attention to what really matters. Good art is not meant to chart. It's meant to be loved by those who seek it, crave it and need it. It's meant to give faith to the faithless.

-MOV

Why must people we respect, so desperately seek the affection of those who never wanted them? So much so that it alters every statement they make.

no who cares about the charts, they mean less nowadays, anyone can get in the charts, you dont have to sell as many as you used to, by the way what was the chart position mid-week??????

If Morrissey cares this much about the chart singles positions, there was a simple enough solution; include original songs on the Bsides.

So many sales will have been lost from fans, because of the Bsides offered ('inessential' live tracks).

Sad but true.

super-lameo

Poor chart placings will lead to Decca dropping him. Then it's possible he will be without a deal again for 7 or so years....THEN you'll all be moaning, why is no one signing him...
As Chas & dave once said...There ain't no pleasin' you....

dear record company p.r person... posse does not have two "ee" s. this mail out, in fact the whole, "it's morrissey's world" site is embarassing...

All dignity out of the window. Begging people to buy his single. He wouldn't have done that 20 years ago. Nor should he have. He wasn't a tramp then.

is UNbecoming

whether begging for record sales
or flashing his young buttcheeks

Dignity, Man!

Something of the vain, old queen
creeps in...

That weak single doesn't deserve anything

Vivienne Westwood, the radical fashion designer who worked with the Sex Pistols and is now an icon in the field, was just interviewed on Jonathan Ross' show. She has been referenced respectfully by Morrissey in the past and what she had to say was very intriguing and relevant.

Her most recent way of helping to defeat the Crashing Bores is by releasing a manifesto which she has posted on her site www.activeresistance.co.uk . The Ross interview is also due to be uploaded there shortly, and it's worth a few minutes of your time - some of you, anyway...

We'd buy it if it was any good, but it's crap!

My name says it all and I am proven correct again.

Why Moz, why?

can't have any respect for him anymore

7 digital is quite the experience. there are more damned security certificates, passwords, buffers , magic lanterns to rub and hoops to jump through just to buy a goddamn song!!! plus, you can conveniently download songs in some crapass format that works well on computers in bulgaria, france and other assbackwards places. how about putting the song on itunes usa since we'r e keeping you in business old man?

I suggest Morrissey to have a listen to the incredibly fresh Paul McCartney Album of 2007. It's musical GOLD.
Whereas everything Morrissey put out lately is shit galore. He truly has lost all the inspiration he ever had. And the plea to buy it is as disgusting as the sight of his arse.

that Morrissey actually has any personal involvement with this at all. I shudder to think that he would have even authorized such a crass and artless message. Even if he wasn't involved, the fact it happened is still saddening. Remember the days when Morrissey CARED tremendously about the artistry and the image he put out with every release? Even the groove etchings had to be just so. We know Moz is finicky about details, just look at his letter to the NME for evidence of that. This message could not possibly have been crafted by the same person. It appears he's contracted everything out to some 'management company' that purports to speak for him. It's frankly disrespectful to those of us who have spend 25 years of our lives following his career. Hopefully he'll say something to disavow any involvement with this ridiculous website and e-mail. I expect this kind of shill tactic from many of the other crashing bores that usually inhabit the charts. It just sounds bizarre coming from Morrissey.

Moz you are one sad ,greedy little man.... I hope your shit awful single does not even chart. Who you gonna blame then? Eh? Oh and to all you sad twats who would pay a thousand bucks for one of Moz's turds and who will leap at someone for attacking him in anyway,Bollocks!!! Be a Dick and go and buy all the copies your told to,Coz Moz loves all of you....well,he loves your cash.

These guys are playing you for suckers. Fuck them.

with mike joyce, but I would still laugh and spit in his eye if morrissey was at number one , knowing full well that mike joyce could not take any money from it. ha ha!

factory.

any plans to release all you need is me on single? loved it on jools holland

People here are VILE, evil, bitter, twisted & sad.

but finding it hard this time. Still sulking over the not rescheduled cancelled roundhouse dates and wondering just what Morrissey is going to do to make me happy.
I have never said one bad word about Moz. And my life not the same. I'm just not ready to buy this new single - yet!

'..ever been had?'

Just so you know.

Morrissey has resorted to petty begging to sell singles.

sadder still is that it is likely to work to a large degree and we will see this piss poor effort crack the top20.

Come on Decca, splash out and purchase 5000 downloads on Monday, that will get him up the charts in no time.

it's obvious why we win out in the physical formats and not the digital ones - all the moz fans are the real deal, and want the satisfaction of another CD for our shelf! We're not cheap and silly fans of Panic! at the Disco who just want to hear the latest hit on their Ipod. He'll never be successful on the digital front - but he's eternal on CD-singles and Vinyl. and for good reason.

Decca are trying to raise Morrissey's profile in a number of subtle and not-so-subtle ways.

The e-mail is rather crude and patronising.
As are some of the anonymous comments above that read is if written by a staff member trying to Rally the Troops.

It's all marketing. Sanctuary were criticised for not doing enough, Decca now for pushing too hard.

The vast majority of people buy music because they want to enjoy LISTENING to it. Because it touches them.

This single I don't like and won't buy.

  Morrissey doesn't know I exist therefore can't be expected to care what I think. Why then should I feel any Loyalty to him? As long as enough people do like it and buy it, the single will succeed. But it will take good marketing, distribution and airplay to help it on it's way.

SO LOW ???? What Pathethic depths to stoop to!
