MORRISSEY: BIG MOUTH STRIKES AGAIN! - Last Gas Station
Original Morrissey’s single cover unveiled - Download it in HQ!
You know already, that Moz is back in action with his ninth solo album “Years Of Refusal” (will be released in 16/2/09). LGS just heard the album and it’s really a great work - his most rock album in years. Favourite songs are “”Something Is Squeezing My Skull” , “When Last I Spoke to Carol”, “One Day Goodbye Will Be Farewell” , “Black Cloud” and of course the first single “I’m Throwing My Arms Around Paris”.
WE THROWING OUR ARMS AROUND MOZ…
Gas Update: The Moz single cover for “Paris” is NOT FAKE. We put only original stuff in our music Station. It’s our small Xmas gift for all the Morrissey’s fan out there. And yes, the new album worth the wait. Merry Xmas to everyone. Thanks!

Morrissey snubs Eli Reed - The Edge - Boston Herald
By Michael Marotta / Hotline
When Morrissey hits Boston’s new House of Blues on March 29, he won’t have local soul man Eli “Paperboy” Reed opening the show for him. Too bad given how close the two came to pairing up for a lengthy 2009 tour.

New 2009 DVD: From Where He Came to Where He Went
I was just looking about on allmusic.com's listing for Mozza to see if they had anything up about YoR. Turns out they don't, but I found something interesting in the DVD section. A new 2009 release called "From Where He Came to Where." Upon more investigation, I've discovered the presence of this disc on only one other website, a Target site, with the full title, "From Where He Came to Where He Went." It looks like it'll be a documentary. But something new, nonetheless. Here is the cover:

The professors of rock, faithfully celebrating Milton - The Philadelphia Inquirer
"For Robinson, a specialist in British romantic poetry - and a believer that Morrissey's 2004 "Irish Blood, English Heart" is "the best song of this century" - the beginnings of rock can be found in English 101."

The 2008 Guardian First Album award winner - The Guardian
The Courteeners formed two years ago. They met at school in Manchester and cite their influences as the Smiths, the Kinks and Oasis. In fact, among their fanbase is another Mancunian, Morrissey. "We played a free gig at Camden Barfly in London earlier this year and we heard from someone that Morrissey wanted to come down," says Fray. "Course you don't believe it, but then this black cab pulls up and I'm thinking, 'I recognise that quiff,' and the next thing he's there, saying. 'Hello Liam. Are you any good then?'" Morrissey later told an American radio station: "Every song was very strong and full of hooks and dynamics. So many groups in England, they're hyped and they're all over the press, but they don't actually have any songs, they don't really have anything to offer ... But it's different with The Courteeners."

Morrissey Ave? Tolkien Rd? Think-tank calls for local pride - The Observer
Amelia Hill, social affairs correspondent
The Observer, Sunday 21 December 2008
Britain should immortalise local heroes by naming streets, open spaces and public buildings after living citizens, according to a new report. Instead of opting for "dull and uninspiring generic names", councils and developers should choose names that commemorate specific community achievements.
