O' Morrissey, what a tug O' war it is to love you. Congratulations? I hope it's real. Knock Em Dead! Til that fateful Tuesday, I will be waiting.

-Javier

morrissey welcome back in Europe soon :)

My fragile emotions can not take it anymore.

Wonderful News!
A perfect day in Morrisseyland,first a top notch compilation gets released and now this.

i looked out my window and saw a pig flying!

what an amazing day this is...

I will beleive this when i see a new album staring me in the face at HMV. This better not be another false alarm!!!!!

keeping my fingers crossed and my drink full from beautiful barbados!

DeBbie

Hurray! A new album! Maybe it's for real this time too. Certainly sounds like Morrissey.

If this isn't real I will eat your soul! I may look harmless but I'm actually quite limber. Don't toy with me!

Drink, drink, drink and be THRILLED tonight! Is this finally the end of the rumours? This seems legit, and if he's already recording we probably wouldn't have to wait that long. Autumn perhaps...

really, tears
i am so happy, i believe it's true. still even if it is there is a slight chance of something going wrong, right?
so please let me get what i want, lord knows it would be the first time.. in 6 years!!!!!!

I was going to say that it would have been cool if he let Moz-Solo in on the news first, but let's just look forward to something new!

Someone pinch me!! could this be a dream? or is this for real. Dont get my hopes up like this now im crossing my fingers! I cant wait to hear the new album im sure its gonna be great as usual.

It surely sounds like our mozzer and i believe(hope) this is true AT LAST!

In the words of the Monkees who I know Moz is a huge fan of (tee-hee...) "I'm A Believer!!!" And while I doubt they actually wrote that themselves congrats to our old boy. Let's put the backbiting behind us and hope for the best. Regardless of David T's best efforts this site has become a bit of a slum as of late and hopefully we can all smarten up at this fine news. My only question is with Moz being on Attack, does that mean he'll be working with Lee "Scratch" Perry on his new record (Ho Ho I couldn't resist...) Seriously though congrats to Moz and the lads, this is great news!!!

There'll be dancing in the streets tonite! (well maybe not) but at least i will be. Yippee!

i wish this is not just another false alarm,... dear old mozzy please release the new record as son as you can,.... can't wait to listen to a proper studio recording of "first of the gang to die"......."we are the pretty petty thieves, and you're standing on the streets....."

Congrats to the man as well as the folks at Sanctuary. This is fantastic news. Although I was truly hoping he would sign to Metropolis Records and be a label mate with Peter Murphy, Sanctuary surely has a strong roster of it's own. They better invest heavily in promoting him. Morrissey will deliver the goods.

On the BBC, the Janice Long Show is up:

You'll need RealPlayer.

It's 17:05 into the program. The link will only work for 24 hours from now, so don't put it off...

About fucking time!!

I guess David was the last to know since he, uhm, has already received the Kiss-off postcard from Moz. David....rest assured that if I were a signed artist, I'd put you on my payroll. Sorry Moz, but that wound still festers....enjoy the Tatu royalties.

*does Homer's chili dance*

Excuse the language but there's just no other way to express it. Hell is freezing and pigs are flying. Yabbadabbadoo!

Yeah, baby!!

Cheers!

Jay

What we play is life.
Louis Armstrong (1900 - 1971)

Hello...Janice Long here...A fax was sent to me on 25 May...however did not get it til today because of the Bank Holiday....Morrissey has signed to Attack, part of Sanctuary ..and is starting work as we speak. He asked me to play Ludus "Breaking the Rules" for nephews Sam and Johnny but ...guess what? ...it was not in the R2 computer bank. In celebration I am now having a bottle of wine....and waiting for the album...love to you all.....Janice

Upon first read, I'm very skeptical. Second read, I'm overjoyed. Upon third read, skeptical again. There's been too may false rumors of signing and I'm not going to jump up and down and spread the news to all my friends without a computer, before I actually see something on the Sanctuary website. I'm hoping this is true at last. No more rumors please. Also, has anyone else been able to access the Janice Long link that was posted earlier? I'd like to hear it myself. I'm also wondering if it's someone sending Janice a cruel fax to fuck with us all again.

YAYYYYYYY! And not a moment too soon! :)

Some of Moz's drinkin' buddies got ahold of S.P.'s fax machine and basically screwed around with it.
I'll ask Moz if he's really signed or not when he puts down that Jack Daniels...

viva moz

But...is anyone else skeptical at all? Am I the only one? Wolf has been cried so many times, I'm going to wait until I see something officially.

...hell has frozen over.

wooooooo....hooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

nice birtdaypresent b.t.w.

If this is true.. that just leaves Dwight Yoakum.

Please dedicate (something) to my nephews Sam and Johnny and say hi to everyone that knows me

Perhaps just Morrissey's sense of humour, but does he sound like the kind of person who would dedicate a song to a couple of grown up (by now, surely?) relatives.

As for saying "hi" to everybody that knows him..shouldn't that be everybody that still likes him?

Dear Morrissey-

I am your number #1 fan in two states (Indiana and Illinois)-

I will go to the wall for you anyday!

Thank-you for the good news!

You are worth the wait.

With love,
Ken

I'll believe it when I have the new album in my hands.

let's just hope it's all new material...I'll believe it when I see it...no reissue, repackage moz.

viva morrissey cabrones!!!!!!

yippie-kayeee!!!!!!!!!!

good news ONLY if first of the gang to die is on there, the other songs that were played on the tour need to be b sides. Irish blood will obviously be on there as that's the title of the album. I like you and mexico are frankly awful though, sorry moz. The world is full.... is not bad but for the album to sell bucketloads it needs to be another vauxhall and not kill uncle.

Is it being recorded in LA? The first outside England if thta's the case.

Moz, put it to record here in Manchester will you?

Ta

Now, at last I can stop relistening to the same old tracks, again and again

Well, is this true ??
I can't wait to listen a new record album from our Moz. Kisses to every one.

Jan 2003, Mr Boorer told this site...

"Morrissey only met Sanctuary twice - and that was a year ago. They made a financial offer which just wasn't enough to keep things afloat"

... hmmm. So did Moz finally concede to a lower fee? There's been a real game of cat and mouse here with rumour denying for the last 9 months or so. He even told Janice Long in Sept that he wasn't signing to Sanctuary. Why all that crap for the last year? Why get us fans all worked up? Morrissey has not been totally honest on this subject over the past year and could have made it clearer so many times in past rather than pretend nobody wanted to sign him.

Glad as I am the deal is done, the past few months of rumour and denial have been farcical and very badly handled.

Is it, isn't it? We'll wait and see if anything happens!! This speculation has been going on longer than the Jolly green Giants todger.

Then again, if anyone would be told, it would probably be Janice, so might have a grain of truth this time.

Because Janice is the font of all knowledge. Terrific Morrissey!!!! A new album on teh way hey hey hey

Tingle

I hope this is true but I must say I have my doubts... Who knows if it actually was written by Morrissey?

After years of the charts being full of shit & Gareth Gates,of George Harrison only getting to no 37 with his last single we finally have the chance to rise up & say that "THE WORLD IS FULL OF CRUSHING BORES"and this is real,music with soul,heart & time taken with it.I will be first in the Q.
