So sorry for the short notice on this but I've just been told, by Warner Music, that The Morrissey 'Live At The Hollywood Bowl' DVD has been postponed pending a new release date.
Will let you have more info when I get it.

I've been covering this news announcement for Morrissey's "Live at the Hollywood Bowl" DVD on my website and I got a message from Noble PR that "The Morrissey 'Live At The Hollywood Bowl' DVD has been postponed pending a new release date".
This doesn't surprise me as Morrissey, himself, had a problem with this release, stating the DVD release is a breach of contract "as laid out by themselves in an agreement made for the film between Warner and my ex-manager." |

MORRISSEY
Viva Hate
I'll wrap up this sextet of reminiscences with an encounter that had parallels to the Second Coming of Christ if you were a music fan who came of age in the '80s. The day that Morrissey entered our shop, every employee (male & female) made a mad dash to the M section of Rock (rumor had it that the Moz wouldn't sign Smiths CDs). I joined the throng (I actually missed the Smiths phenomenon and had gotten into Morrissey during his solo career), and proceeded to snatch up a copy of Viva Hate. Morrissey (along with some record company guy he had in tow) approached the information booth while I was still fumbling around looking for a pen. He was taller than I expected, somewhat shy, and very polite. He was looking for anything that we had by the band Generation X (Billy Idol's old outfit). Of course, we were fresh out of this band, but I took the opportunity to ask Morrissey to autograph my CD, and he graciously accepted. As we were having this exchange, the record company guy made a big display of asking me if I would like to see Morrissey play in Los Angeles again (it had been a little while since his last L.A. show, and I think that he was between labels at the time). I replied "of course," but the whole scenario was a little creepy and I could definitely tell that Morrissey was embarrassed. So we shook hands and went our separate ways. As I was standing in the info booth later that day, I looked over my signed copy of Viva Hate and smiled. I didn't have much, but I had this...and I still do.

I thought you might be interested that on Monday, we’ve got a new edition of “Stories” starring Johnny Marr going live on Channelbee.com.
“Stories” is basically our favourite musicians, actors and celebrities telling their favourite anecdotes. We’ve already got a Johnny Marr story up there about when he was kidnapped by Happy Mondays
but Monday’s story is about when he lent his guitar to a struggling Noel Gallagher before Oasis were big…in a nutshell, they smashed it up and asked Johnny for another one so he gave them the black Les Paul he wrote The Queen is Dead and Bigmouth Strikes Again on… |
