Morrissey mention in Entertainment Weekly, scan

From the January 23/30 Issue of Entertainment Weekly. Special Double Issue. Our Guide to 2004:

Morrissey

With '80s alt-rock deities like the Cure surfacing as key influences to today's trendiest bands, now is a great time for Morrissey to reclaim his throne. Too bad mope-rock's maudlin master wants no part of it. "I don't feel of the '80s," he says. "Or of [anytime] else." * On his first CD in seven years, You Are the Quarry , the former Smiths frontman tapped producer Jerry Finn (blink-182, Green Day) for what Morrissey describes as a "richer, more listenable" album with "lots more hooks." And the song titles look promising: "America Is Not the World" and "The World is Full of Crashing Bores" suggest the Brit hasn't lost his biting wit. Noticeably missing, however, are collaborations with any of his many young musician fans. "I'm not the kind of person you jam with," says the famously antisocial singer. "I still stand alone. Which is to everyone's benefit, I think." (April)

I love all the press he's getting!
It seems more and more magazines are mentioning him and the upcoming album! I love it, might give other fans, other than Morrissey's, to pick up the new material.

Morrissey's first description of You Are The Quarr (Score:0)

This should've been the main news item! Moz describes new album as 'richer, more listenable with lots more hooks'.
Blinking brilliant!

They have not forgotten him. (Score:0, Redundant)

Entertainment Weekly (which I do enjoy from time to time) is about as mainstream a pop culture mag. as there is. I like the way this piece was worded. More importantly, the entertainment world at large has not forgotten Moz, and given that his last release was in 1997, I find this very encouraging.

Hmmm (Score:2, Insightful)

It's hard to imagine Morrissey ever saying things like "lots more hooks". I thought that was reserved for people like Beyonce and everyone of MTV's making of the bland.

very good press here. EW is as mainstream as it gets. in the past seven years, i am sure that many morrissey fans have worked their ways into positions of media influence. look for more of this.
