Morrissey - 'Years Of Refusal' The World's First Listen! - Gigwise
by Jason Gregory
Thursday, December 11, 2008
For a man who tends to shed his skin (and his shirt) onstage, standing in the middle of one today Morrissey looks uncomfortable; out of place even. “This is my new album,” he says to the crowd of journalists. “Please God you'll like it.”
As he puts his fingers in his ears, Morrissey retreats to let the music do the talking. Here is Gigwise's guide to 'Years of Refusal' –arguably the singer's most important solo album to date.

Moz at The Pigalle Club today 'doing promo'
This morning at The Pigalle club on Piccadilly Morrissey introduced Years Of Refusal to about 60 people, mostly journalists I presume.
I loved it. He was looking good.
Don't bother with the thumbnails, here are the lyrics (this time large enough to read)...

DianaDors writes:Britain's Daily Telegraph and Daily Mirror both lazily repeating the recent ill-informed "reunion" rumours. I think every sane person at Morrissey-solo (are there any..?) knows full well that Moz will never again share a stage with Joyce and Rourke - and without them it's not The Smiths, is it? The Smiths 'could be ready for a reunion' - telegraph.co.uk
Morrissey and Johnny Marr heal rift raising hopes of a Smiths reunion - exclusive - mirror.co.uk
Excerpt:
One source said yesterday: “The very fact they are talking again is the most hopeful thing in years. The industry has been buoyant with talk of them getting back together.

ACTON also writes:Rumours in Irish papers, on Irish Radio (Newstalk, Galway Bay FM) that there could be a Smiths reunion in 2009. I know we've heard this one before, but please don't stop me! MSN Entertainment UK website is hinting at the same thing. www.telegraph.co.uk says the same thing. They all seem to think that a 'one off reunion' for 2009 may be on the cards.

Follow-up to the previous story "'There Is A Light...' covers article - weheartmusic.com" - Vu writes:
Here's the excerpt of Mark Monnone from the Lucksmiths talking about their cover of "There is a Light that Never Goes Out" for our upcoming podcast show (podcast.weheartmusic.com).
The relevant transcription for those who can't hear the poor audio:
Vu: Can you tell me a little bit about how -- it it Micro-Indie Records or Matinee that approached you guys to do the recording for the Smiths Tribute album?
Mark: Yeah, it was Matinee Recordings of Santa Barbara. Our friend, Jimmy, who runs Matinee is quite obsessed with the Smiths ... unlike us, of course! Y'know people seem to think just because we have the word 'Smiths' in our name, that we must be obsessed with the Smiths (well we actually like them a lot).
But yeah, so Jimmy just, I think it was the 50th release or some on Matinee. Or some special landmark number something special to him so he wanted to do a Smiths Tribute.
At first we didn't know what song to go for. There are so many... I mean which Smiths song do you choose? And then Jimmy said, 'I really want you guys to do There is a Light That Never Goes Out'.
And we were like, 'Alright, we're gonna do that one!'.
What's so great about them is with the way they present. Y'know, Morrissey's vocal delivery and everything, I think it's so important. In a way, they're kind of untouchable. I think that compilation is half good and half pretty good.
