but this doesn't change the fact that his music is utter toilet...

I think they are one of the best new bands around at the moment.They sound fresh, got a good image and by the sounds of the new album they should go far! Lets hope so especially with the music that's about at the moment 'thats what i call toilet'.

Speaking of Morrissey's former support bands in the NME - there's a rapturous review of The Thrill's debut single in the singles review [nme.com] section ("Debut of the year") ??!!

...about this picture is that it was taken by an NME photographer, Dean Chalkly. That suggests that the idea of Moz posing with current NME faves The Libertines was set up in advance, either by Moz's people or, possibly more likely, The Libertines.

The question, therefore, is: did Morrissey know that this photo was specifically for the NME? I really can't see how he wouldn't have. If that's the case, does that mean the feud might finally be over? After all, he did mention in the interview posted recently from the Irish radio session, that all of the people involved in the original racist smear had left.

Are going to be big

They've just been on the crossing border festival
in the Netherlands, and it was awesome.

As dutch former alternative magazine OOR
writes in the current edition writes about
their new album, Up The Bracket;

It's masterpiece produced by former Clash
member Mick Jones, , the music/their songs
dizzle and bounce the listener from
  The Jam to the Kinks,...from the Smiths to
the Sex Pistols..and the Buzzcocks to the Clash.

Brilliant, best albumm of the year also nice
new albums from Beth Gibbons [portishead] [with Talk Talk guitarist Pual webb] named, Out Of Seasons

and ofcourse Scarlett's Walk, tori amos new album.

but go and buy/listen to The Libertines album/

I thought they were great in RAH, and that song of theirs which was played before the shows was brillant (the one which goes "And I never should have settled down" or something like that). Is it really called 'One Horse Town'?
Is there an album or a single available anywhere?

The Libertines are fooking class. So for all you anal retentive Morrissey fans who only like him. GET A FOOKING life. Morrissey is an now an old has been poof just like Elton John.
