On page 10 of the review section of The Guardian today (Friday 4th April) is a nice article about Morrissey's upcoming remix album. It's also on the web:

Don't hang the DJ

Can this be true? Morrissey has mixed a compilation album - featuring the Ramones, Patti Smith... and Diana Dors. Alexis Petridis reports

      Aha! Maybe his Mighty Mozzerness took a break from touring to enjoy half a semester of "Mixology & Rythym Theory" at the Berklee College of Music. And it has produced this!

          Heh heh... Morrissey mixing the disc! This is going to be great! When I tell my friends that Morrissey liked such stuff as "The New York Dolls" and "Diana Dors", they think that it's insane. But who knows what he'll come up with....

            Nothing to get too excited about... it's probably a copy of one of his tour intermission tapes. Looks like he's putting that iMac to good use.

                Even if it is going to be just like one of the intermission tapes from a gig it'll be great!
                As long as we're getting quite a good range.
                Obviously we'll be getting Innocent and Vain by Nico, but I hope we get some Klaus Nomi, Ludus and stuff like that. And I really hope he puts Whatever Happened to baby Jane (Jean?) because I can't find that anywhere!

                Oh, and I was wondering, does anyone know about availability of this? Do you think it's the kind of thing they'd stock in a small branch of HMV in a town in the heart of Suburbia? doesn't seem so, really!

                "My Top Ten" was a Radio 1 programme in the eighties, the presenter was Andy Peebles,it's a bit like "Desert Island Discs"
                Morrissey did a show and it was god-awful, he picked the most obscure girl group stuff ever.
                The BBC were recently thinking of repeating it this May but changed their minds when they heared it after all these years.
                I don't think this compillation will be a best seller.

                If you consider the bands Moz is usually fond of (if you except the all-time-Mozzer-Bedroom-Posters-on-the-Wall-Onanist classics such as NYD, T-Rex or the great Patti Smith), he often comes out with the crappiest stuff that only inspires HIM and no one else. Just check the guest bands at his gigs : Phrank, Gallon Drunk and what else ? Woodentops, Primitives and Bradford in the 80's, do someone remember this s... ? Hopefully, DMC may not commit the perfect commercial suicide and would 've helped our Moz to be intelligible by all audience !

                And don't pretend you enjoy listening to Sandy Shaw day and night, I wouldn't take it !
