is there actually any news in this piece?

...for the quite useless posting!

speaking of popbitches....

think of a UK band with two songwriters, and a notorious fanbase?
nothing springs to mind, not in the indie world at least...
with any luck, it would be proper pop-writers so Moz can get back to singing those fantastic sky-tickling melodies that we got so consistently in the Marr-Street days.
don't want to see the end of the Boorer/Whyte partnership although Boz's stuff has been poor recently (don't forget he composed the music to the three best songs on Vauxhall). but let's just have their very best stuff mixed in with the new collaborators'.
let's hope Moz has got all the dreary court case/journalist/flag waving/taxman/magistrate stuff out of his system so we can have some fresh, inspired lyrics as well...
gosh, isn't it all terribly exciting!

i know one of the collaborators...it has to be Andy Rourke. because notice it says fanbase criticized and considering Andy Rourke's only fan base is Andy Ison, well how much more criticized can a fan base get?

Viva Hate is my favorite album so I would love a re-union but I guess Moz needs to move forward not back towards the past...

or Banarama?

... of this idiotic topic poster. but i won't reveal it. bla bla on!

the fans are given it more than the band? It'd have to be Tool then wouldn't it?? I mean Tool's music can be questionable, but their fans really deserve the name Tools!

These collaborators is Jack White and Noel Gallagher.Belive it or not.

Eyebrows. Raise em.

Could it be the former members of Suede? Brett Anderson and Bernard Butler? Aren't they called The Tears now? Oh, that would be so awesome!

It's Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr .... I know this for sure as they are lovers of mine and they shouted it during sexual intercourse. They're over 60 and Overly Sexy !!!

..any poncey middle classed indie trendies. He wouldn't even think of working with such types.

So, no Radiohead, Coldplay, or Tears.

It will be someone with a similar background to Morrissey. Oasis are the most likely. If not, someone from the more poppy end of the market.

Just thought I'd say this so that some of you indie types who are desperate for him to do something "credible" are prepared for disappointment.

If it is true, then it doesn't really matter too much, it'll hopefully just be on the one song, & at least it means new material from him. I can't see Morrissey agreeing to work with someone who hasn't got any musical integrity. I doubt it's true, but if it is then we should all just trust his judgement. Unless it's Good Charlotte, then i'll sit & cry for a few weeks.

Don't ever fucking submit anything like this again unless you're prepared to name names.

the guy from the thrills
i never said a word

"These collaborators, who in my opinion are criticized more for their fanbase than music, are sure to raise an eyebrow or two.."

Well, hardscore, lipstick wearing, over-fed, messy haired Cure fans are ceaselessly criticized as people pass them by with eyebrow raised, so.... well, I suppose it's quite obvious who he's collaborating with then, isn't it?

Yes, I reckon with what we know that he's collaborating with none other than the bizzaro Boy George!

What is the point if you "can't" name names.

Please wake me when there is REAL news...

POPBITCHSLAP

it be The Cheeky Girls!

You know it would be great.

You know it could be true.

You know you want it NOW.

This is the stuff dreams are made of.

With love,
Ken Stavitzke

It's Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon. :Þ

The Darkness... have you been wondering what the Hawkins brothers have been up to? I know I have. Now we all know know.

Or Basement Jaxx

Now that would be interesting

The Fast Food Rockers!

You guys/girls are all idiots for believing this piece of rubbish in the first place it would be another matter if it came from a respected source. Ziggy my pet patterdale terrier is far more respected than pop bitch.

It's The Sweet and Tender Hooligans!
The Latino fanbase is always being scrutinized and put under the microscope, so this makes sense.

Finally, Morrissey & Maldonado. Together at last.

Out of Jose's wet dreams, and into reality.

Oh then it's Boz then

george michael and elton john?

Everybody - I can confirm that it is Noel Gallagher.

For a little genius, Kelly Jones, singer/songwriter of the UK's Stereophonics, has a HUGE ego. So, he could surely take the place of TWO collaborators. I'd love to see it happen, and Moz is a fan of Jones.

Have a nice day!

i'm sure it's david johannsen.

Tennant & Lowe

CARL BARAT : Carl said he's been writing a lot lately. They both met last year at Glastonbury (a great pic of them made it on an NME cover)and they both admire each other. So quite possible...

NOEL GALLAGHER : Noel said before recording Oasis latest album they had enough material to record a double album but decided to record a single album only to piss off their record company. So he could well have sent some tracks to the Great Man.

GOOD TIMES FOR A CHANGE...

as long as its neither crunk or grime, i'm intruiged.

...Junior Campbell who was the principal songwriter for 60's Scottish pop band The Marmalade (and later went on to compose music for Thomas the Tankengine tv series) and the guitarist who replaced him in The Marmalade - Hugh Nicholson (who later formed his own band in'73 called "Blue"(not the boy band)) Will be Morrissey's new songwriting partners....What an awesome pack of geezers!

-The Treading Lemming

"life's a riot"

...and we jail those who won't reveal their sources. Out with it.

The man is going to be working with Jackie & Nancy Martling read more @ www.jokeland.com

The moz is not collaberating with anyone - its not a true story, ignore it.

... let it be the mighty chas and dave.

Are you lot stupid?? It's Chaz and Dave you muppets! Give me strength....

It can't be Oasis. They haven't had a fanbase to criticise since 1996.

I thought They disbanded years ago...

hmmm...

-j

yup... u know the band? teh one who made "we'll get by" and "you justify my life". it is him...

it is a good tandem, believe me..

Well this should be a very odvious hint to all of us. This post is justfor the soul purpose to get us to "guess who"
Morrissey will be collaborating with.

1. Guess Who? (somebody said that already)
2. The Cure?
3. Pearl Jam?
4. Linder Sterling?
5. The Who?
6. Pink Floyd?

tell me, I dont want to know

ding

Look, you're gonna be disappointed. It'll be the New York Dolls or the like. Nothing really wrong with the Dolls, but... Maybe Jobriath has been resurrected or his writing partners. Trust me. It would never be someone as mainstream and obvious as Oasis, definitely not Pet Shop, or Thrills. Nothing like this. Mozzer is the type of guy that just when you think that everything is normal and straight, he sends out a Drag Queen with a ghetto blaster to mime and introduce him and one of his New York shows. I actually wouldn't be surprised if it was Johnny. Morrissey is notorious for being unpredictable and different. Do you really think you're gonna guess this? IF, and that's a big IF, it's even true. I love Alain and Boz, but change never hurt anyone and would be nice. I'm deing to hear a new tune like, 'Piccadilly Palare' or 'He Knows I'd Love To See Him'. That's the good stuff, in my humble opinion.

And if we're talking dubious fans, Moz knows as well as anybody that you can't get more dubious than the gaggle that turn out for Madness shows.

or if it bears any resemblance to later revealed truth it is more than likely to be purely coincidence.

a couple of names im surprised havnt been batted about as yet are Bono and The Edge. while im nearly 100% sure that it is not them, they would be juste as likely if not more than the members of Oasis. Bono and The Edge has a far wider history of collaborations and and writing and for other artists and what they lack in the Mancurian connection they make up for in the Irish connection. Bono has recently bestowed much praise for Moz- see 'The Importance of Being Morrissey'- and the feeling is mutual as Moz told in an interview from early 2004 (ibelieve- cant remember with whom). Bone and The Edge also contributed to Nancy Sinatra's latest album ("Two Shots of Happy, One Shot of Sad") which of course Moz also contributed to and which was released on Moz's Attack label.

had there not been the condition of plurality idve guessed PJ Harvey since they were recent tourmates and Polly, since her collaboration with Thom Yorke on 'Stories From The City, Stories From the Sea', has gained a new fetish for writing for other artists. she wrote much of Marianne Faithful's last album and im sure would love to write with or for Morrissey. iknow many here will disqualify her rightoff for her views on hunting, but if he toured with her then why not use one of her songs?

This may be way off... but I do remember reading somewhere that during the whole racism scandal thing, when Morrissey opened for them, there was mention that Madness had some skinhead fans and they were notorious for that.
So, I say it may be Madness.

Wouldn't it be good if Patti Smith and her gang
is his new target.
