IE Signs Morrissey For Management - Billboard.com
May 27, 2008 - Global
By Lars Brandle, London
Morrissey has joined ie:music, the British management firm which guides the career of Robbie Williams.
The former Smiths singer will now be managed on a global basis by Josie Cliff, who heads-up the firm's U.S. division ie:west, and by ie's founders Tim Clark and David Enthoven.
The news, confirmed in a two-sentence press release issued today, confirms the British singer's split with manager Merck Mercuriadis, the former CEO of now-defunct Sanctuary U.S.
Founded in 1992 by Clark and Enthoven, ie:music represents a small roster of artists, including Sia, Craig Armstrong, Passenger, Archive and the Asteroids Galaxy Tour.

‘ALL YOU NEED IS ME’ RELEASED 2ND JUNE - itsmorrisseyworld.com
22/05/08
Morrissey’s second single of the year ‘All You Need Is Me’ will now be released on 2nd June for one week only.
Originally slated for release on 19th May, the single has been one of the most popular new songs at recent shows. The single boasts the production mastery of Jerry Finn, the man behind 2004’s widely acclaimed long player You Are The Quarry. Finn is also putting the finishing touches to Morrissey's new studio album which is due for an Autumn 2008 release.
‘All You Need Is Me’ comes with some truly unique B-sides in the following formats...
CD single
Track 1: ‘All You Need Is Me’
Track 2: ‘Children In Pieces’ (Recorded in LA with Oscar and BAFTA winning composer Gustavo Santaolalla, responsible for Brokeback Mountain, Babel and The Motorcycle Diaries. Produced by Jerry Finn, the man behind 2004’s You Are The Quarry.)
7’ #1
Side A: All You Need Is Me’
Side B: ‘My Dearest Love’ (Recorded in LA with Oscar and BAFTA winning composer Gustavo Santaolalla, responsible for Brokeback Mountain, Babel and The Motorcycle Diaries. Produced by Jerry Finn, the man behind 2004’s You Are The Quarry.)
7’ #2
Side A: ‘All You Need Is Me’
Side B: ‘Drive-in Saturday’ (Written by David Bowie this version was recorded live at the Orpheum Theater, Omaha, Nebraska, 11th May 2007)
Don’t forget ‘All You Need Is Me’ is released for one week only from 2nd June, so you’ll need to get in there pretty sharpish to bag yourself a copy.

The post suggests Morrissey was responsible for selecting who would be playing... not really convinced on this one, but good to see the record company being so proactive with the myspace page and giving us more ways to be involved! It'd be great if one of us lot won - we must have the best Moz stories, surely? |

Fangs for the memory - The Sun
And Morrissey?
I think he’s a brilliant lyricist. His evolution as a songwriter is amazing – he’s charted all the various stages of his life and career in an honest and thought-provoking way.
He could’ve made a career out of eulogising British working class youth but he was the first to realise that his life was not static – his songs are an amazing map of his own bizarre life-arc.
