Now we know who we should thank for the new album and that the rumors were true.

Excerpt from Michael Stipe's recent interview with Attitude magazine:

The whole vagueness around your sexuality in the past puts me in mind of Morrissey.

He plays with it. He’s very English in that he’s actually taken that and turned it into an art form. It’s all part of who he is. It’s funny and catty and sweet. That’s what I want form Morrissey.

Are you still mates?

A friend of mine shot him yesterday actually (Wolfgang Tillmans) but I don’t see him much these days. The last time I saw him I took him to dinner in LA. I brought a whole load of people with me to tell him that we really wanted him to make a record.

Who came?

Courtney Love, Fran from Travis was in town so he came down. A whole bunch really.

I can’t imagine Courtney and Morrissey together. How did that go?

It was funny, the two of them. Courtney’s Courtney.

      I love the fact that these people got together for dinner. Hole's first cd spoke to my soul straight on. Obviously ditto about Morrissey/Smiths. Because I'm female and come from a rough upbringing though, Pretty on the Inside was bang on, while Morrissey/Smiths are too, but don't have that female perspective of that misogynist element that women and girls in rough shoes can get put through that was validating in a very primal way. Synergy!

        imagining Courtney and Morrissey at dinner together makes me giggle. I didn't know she was a fan.
