Maxim
Rated: 24 Hours To Live

Morrissey
The famously forlorn British crooner and ex-Smiths frontman muses on his last day on Earth.

SO HOW DO YOU WANT TO GO? DOUBLE-DECKER BUS? TEN-TON TRUCK?
Concussed by a coconut.

WHICH OF YOUR SONGS PLAYS IN HEAVEN?
"Satan Rejected My Soul."

AND WHICH ONE PLAYS IN HELL?
"I Have Forgiven Jesus."

WHAT BOOK DO YOU REGRET NOT FINISHING?
"The Toilets Are Closed in Your Honour," an account of the life of Cressida Dick, deputy assistant commissioner of London's Metropolitan Police.

WHILE ALIVE, WHAT DID YOU SPEND MOST OF YOUR MONEY ON?
Legal fees.

WHO IN YOUR LIFE WOULD YOU MOST LIKED TO "KICK IN THE EYE"?
That meat-fed horror Jamie "Orrible" Oliver. If he's a master chef, then I'm Miss Brazil 1970.

WHAT WILL BE YOUR GREATEST LEGACY?
Thundering suavity.

ANY REGRETS ABOUT BEING OUTSPOKEN?
Whatever I said, I meant.

WHEN WERE YOU HAPPIEST?
At age 12 I could juggle a plate on a stick.

NAME ONE THING YOU'RE GLAD YOU'LL NEVER HAVE TO DO AGAIN ON EARTH.
It will be worth being dead just to get away from Victoria Beckham.

WHAT'S THE WILDEST THING YOU EVER DID WHILE YOU WERE ALIVE?
I took some swimming lessons at the local baths.

WHAT'S YOUR LAST MEAL?
The disease of smallness--tea and toast.

DO YOU HAVE A DEATHBED CONFESSION?
I've never seen myself naked. It seemed impolite to look.

TO WHOM WOULD YOU WHISPER YOUR LAST GOODBYE?
To my very best friend...myself.

Moz the 2nd "Weirdest Voice In Music" - NME blog

posted by davidt on Saturday January 17 2009, @07:00PM

Torr sends the link/excerpt:

The Weirdest Voices In Music - by Luke Lewis, Bored at Work blog, NME.com

2. Morrissey
There's a reason why Smiths covers rarely work – namely, that few singers can approximate Moz's utterly distinctive, adenoidal vocal style. Tellingly, Jeff Buckley was a big fan.

Looks like Lost Highway has put Moz on their site.

You can hear a snippet from "..Paris" and they have new photos, news section, shows, music, press, media, mobile and bio. Also they have released the promo single for "...Paris" in a lable inspired design. Check ebay for a picture. The new site has the place to buy tickets for Boca Raton (livenation.com) tickets on sale 1/16/09 at 10:00am.

Second sleeve for "I'm Throwing my Arms Around Paris"

posted by davidt on Thursday January 15 2009, @11:00AM

Stefan Krix writes:

As seen on HMV.com:

The second sleeve for the CD2 edition of the new single I'm Throwing my Arms Around Paris (b/w Shame Is The Name) is mainly the same as the one that will be used for CD1 and the 7".

In fact, the known sleeve is only an excerpt from the second.
