A third batch of questions have been answered on the true-to-you site, with quite a lot of information being revealed on the making of the new album, including this tidbit, which I found very interesting... ---
"If it seems to some people that Jesse has replaced Alain, I would like to say that this isn't true. There is no replacing and there is nothing but harmony amongst all the players." All good stuff! Update: 01/04 18:49 GMT: Jazzy Jeff also writes: There is a
new photo of Morrissey, Jesse, Alain and Gary on the True-To-You homepage.
All looking tired after producing the new album!

Hey guys,
This is Chris from No-Fi "Magazine" and I was lucky enough to have a lengthy conversation with Alain. In the interview we go from one subject to the next with lots of silliness in between. No-Fi "Magazine", Issue 52 The No-Fi "Interview" with ALAIN WHYTE Chris Beyond chats about everything with the lead singer/guitarist of RED LIGHTNING and collaborator/guitarist of MORRISSEY!

This month's Q magazine features a list of the 100 Greatest Records of all time, with 'The Queen Is Dead' entering at number seven. However, there is also a section called 'Records That Were Nearly Great' and 'Strangeways' is listed as being one of them. Q say the album is "almost glorious" only because of Johnny Marr's inspired musical landscapes, which go way and beyond "the indie ghetto". However, what lets the album down, according to them, is Morrissey's "lack of inspiration" with lyrics that "veer into self-parody" and at times are "just shoddy". ---
The NME old guard really did move to Q didn't they? Expect another 2-star review for Ringleader in March. Jazzy Jeff also writes: Readers of Q music magazine voted for the 100 Greatest Albums Of All Time.

In the Arts section of today's The Observer (01/01/06) was a list of 50 things to look forward to for Winter 2006. "Morrissey's Return" is number three:
"The long years of exile are truly over now. Morrissey's forthcoming album, Ringleader of the Tormentors, was recorded in Rome and produced by Tony Visconti, famous for his work with David Bowie in the Seventies. There have been unconfirmed rumours of recording sessions in catacombs, as well as guest spots by Ennio Morricone and an Italian children's choir. On his website diary, Visconti reckons it's one of the best albums he's ever worked on. You can judge for yourself on 27 March" Link to full article here.
