Both amazon.co.uk and hmv.co.uk changed the release date for All You Need Is Me to May 26th.

The Germany release date however seems to be much earlier - May 16th.

NME response to Morrissey / Conor McNicholas hotel skirmish

posted by davidt on Thursday May 15 2008, @12:00PM

Story picked up by the press. Uncleskinny posted the link in the forums (original post):

Pandora: Corden reveals all - The Independent

Mozza's room service

Waxy croissants and burnt bacon rind at dawn! Pandora hears of a fresh skirmish between Morrissey and his magazine nemesis, the NME.

The Mancunian miserabilist is suing the publication after his remarks on immigration were splashed across its cover. So he was displeased to discover that he and the NME's editor, Conor McNicholas, were booked into the same Los Angeles auberge last week.

Mozza's fixer Merck Mercuriadis swiftly intervened, ensuring the bickering pair would not share a roof for long. "I have a very good relationship with the hotel, and when I explained the situation they agreed it would not be appropriate for Conor to stay," says Merck.

McNicholas was "courteously" dislodged. Gloats the NME: "Thanks to Morrissey's people, Conor got upgraded to a penthouse in a sister hotel."

Fran sends the link/excerpt:

Lightspeed Champion at Bristol Academy - Times Online

Devonte Hynes personifies the nerd as superhero

"If Britpop ever needed a black Morrissey, and the idea is certainly alluring, then Hynes would be front-runner for the post. No contest."

Punky writes:

According to today's Irish Times website there is a strong suggestion that Morrissey will play an additional Irish date in Luggala in County Wicklow on June 28th. For details see:

Morrissey, Co Wicklow, June 28
Filed under: Uncategorized � Jim Carroll @ 12:54 am

On The Record understands that Morrissey will play a show at Luggala, Co Wicklow on June 28.

Yes, I am still away, but I just could not resist this nugget involving a new site for summer shows and my old buddy, and fellow fan of bespoke tailoring, the Moz.
