Glasto Moz review in the Guardian
posted by davidt on Tuesday June 29 2004, @08:00AM

John, England writes:

The light that never goes out by Dorian Lynskey, The Guardian

Excerpt:

Back on the Pyramid Stage, Morrissey is preceded by a recording of someone listing all the things they hate. If it was Morrissey's own shit list, we could be here 'til Wednesday. Musically Morrissey is in his best form for years, but as his stomach-clenching Jonathan Ross appearance demonstrated, he'll never be a man of the people. He's certainly not one to do a McCartney and perform 75% Smiths material, and his patter verges on antagonistic. "Thank you everybody, or thank you some of you. Thank you most of you." This leaves each spectator to wonder if they personally have some how offended him.

None the less he's quite the showman. with a band dressed as 1950s Soho gangsters and his name up in huge Vegas-style lights: red, to match his shirt. After a slow start which speaks only to the hardcore fan rather than the floating voter, he crashes into the anthems: Every day is like Sunday, and a glorious There is a Light that Never Goes out. He eggs it flamboyantly to the strains of My Way. Regrets.? He's had a few, but then again, too few to mention.

Full-page NME review of Moz Glastonbury show
posted by davidt on Tuesday June 29 2004, @08:00AM

broken writes:

Having glanced through the NME, they have devoted a full page to the Morrissey performance, describing it in glowing terms as a full scale rehabilitation and one of the absolute highlights of the festival weekend. "Forget Macca, forget... Glastonbury was about the return of the dour grey miserabilist, known as Morrissey"

They praised "Let me kiss you" calling it devastating, puzzlingly, and "everyday is like sunday" "First of the gang" "IBEH" and a "frankly astonishing" there is a light - but the real moment of the performance was during "I Know It's Gonna Happen someday" when Morrissey went down on one knee staring up at his name in lights, "happy to be back where he belongs"

There was a photo of Morrissey wearing his jacket with the caption "comeback of the year"

One or two facts might be out, but this is basically what is said in the review.

A relative of mine who attended Glastonbury told me "everyone was talking about Morrissey" - "a lot of people missed him because of the rain and they all wished they'd gone to see him." Once again, it looks like his fans on this site have failed to be impressed by what bowls over the rest of the world!

Morrissey is Artist of the Month at Barnes & Noble
posted by davidt on Tuesday June 29 2004, @08:00AM

alainsane writes:

I was just in my local B&N shop, and they had an entire listening station devoted to their 'Artist-of-the-Month,' Morrissey. They had all of the Smiths studio CD's available for previewing as well as Quarry, Viva Hate, Bona Drag and the Best of Morrissey. I don't know if this has been going on for the whole month of June or if it's an early start on July, but the worker there says that all Barnes & Noble stores have the same 'Artists of the Month'.

After Tim Henman won his match at Wimbledon today, NBC played a snippet of "Irish Blood, English Heart" as they showed clips of Henman playing.

(Not a big deal now, but three years ago this would have been a great item, right??!?!)
