Boz has done the biz yet again and provided, by way of his diary log at www.bozboorer.com, a brief but important piece of news. This time relating to Alain Whyte's absence from the past few gigs:
"June 15th - So we got to dublin via a short stop off at heathrow airport. My family flew over so it was nice to see them. The weather managed to stay nice for the show. When we got home, Alain's illness was very apparent so we decided to get someone in to play temporarily to give him the chance to recover, which, I'm happy, to say he is. Little Barrie's done very well to learn the set at such short notice, and he has saved the day. Hopefully it wont be long until Al's back on full steam."
Good 'ol Boz - he never lets us down; cheers mate.

On the other side, some rumors:

This rumour was posted on popbitch.com.
"I know for a fact that Morrissey has met with Bernard Butler about assembling a band to write with.
Meltdown will be the last stand for Boz, Gary and Dino after Alain has done the off under mysterious circumstances!"

Somebody in the know told me: alain whyte has had enough and didnt turn up for a festival in italy. some rumours say he's still in ireland, others say he's had enough.
Morrissey was spotted meeting bernard butler in london last week so...potential replacement?!!

Article in the new Word magazine entitled "Meet n Greet Is Murder" tells all about Mozza's recent frantic UK appearances, including mag interviews, TV spots, but mainly the Manchester MEN show. Fairly brief prose, some good pictures. Detached, ironic, mildly piss taking commentary (says he looks like a farmer from County Mayo!) but pretty complimentary all the same ("mostly magnificent"). Seems it went to press before the Bush/Reagan furore......

More press about the Bush comment. This was in Richard Roeper's column today (June 16) in the Chicago Sun-Times.
"Understand, I'm not denying the existence of more than a few liberals who truly hate President Bush. Whether it's an idiot singer saying Bush should have died instead of Reagan; photoshopped images of Bush and Cheney as Nazis; Web sites filled with personal insults; or conspiracy theorists accusing the Bush family of participating in a ludicrously diverse litany of crimes up to and including the assassination of JFK, there's some nasty, unfair, off-the-wall stuff out there. Even if you abhor everything about the Bush presidency, this is not the way for decent human beings to campaign against his re-election."

Fabio D'Antonio, Italy writes:
Noel Gallagher was interviewed exclusively by Glynn Pegler from Culture, maybe this part could be of interest...
Question: All bands seem to get on the collaboration bandwagon at some point or another, is there anything new like this in the pipeline for Oasis?
Noel: Well, if we could collaborate with anyone, for me it would be Neil Young. I’d only choose Neil Young slightly above Morrissey because for me they’re both legends in my house and I think it would be really cool. There’s nothing sorted in the form of a collaboration as yet.

It seems like the folks at the All Music Guide changed their minds about YATQ after having it for a bit longer. It was previously given 4 stars, now it's at 3 1/2. I had suspected that AMG had been changing ratings, but I'm sure of it now.

Since I rarely get a clear picture when trying to tune in Later...with Jools Holland (I live in Detroit), I did a thorough search of the super highway and found most of it streamed on the below listed site:
http://www.kayotix.com/tmp/newsfeeds/21.05.04/morrissey/
You will see: "Irish Blood, English Heart", "First Of The Gang To Die", a humorous interview where Moz refuses to open the door to knock-knock-jokin' Jools, "Let Me Kiss You", and "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out"

Morrissey glory review by Sarah Rodman
-
He calls himself sick, depraved, unattractive and destined to be alone. Welcome back, Morrissey! After a seven-year layoff, the former Smiths mouthpiece continues his glorious self-flagellation and self-aggrandizement on "You Are the Quarry." While he takes aim at several targets on this lovely, droll and melancholy album - the U.S. and British governments among them - the main quarry in his sights is himself. He laments in jaunty Beatles-esque fashion that "The World is Full of Crashing Bores," including him. Elsewhere, he asks a potential lover to fantasize about someone they physically admire in order to stomach kissing him. The album's best marriage of angst and backbeat, however, is the grungy melodicism of "How Can Anybody Possibly Know How I Feel?" We can't, because as he puts it, "only I am I" - but we can sure enjoy listening to Morrissey try and explain.
