As we just mentioned on our Twitter-Stream: we don’t know what the reader thinks about it, but we think that the inner sleeve-artwork of Morrissey’s new Single is pretty well done…

"Confirmation" of Jonathan Ross appearance (to air Feb. 13)
posted by davidt on Friday January 30 2009, @12:00PM

Benton writes:
TV.com.uk is listing Morrissey to appear on "Friday Night with Jonathan Ross" on the show to be aired on 13th Feb.

The lack of a fourth guest may indicate that there will indeed be an interview.

"214. Season 16, Ep 4: Michael McIntyre, Emily Mortimer, Morrissey.

Comedian, Michael McIntyre joins Jonathan to plug something or other: possibly his upcoming tour, or his "fastest selling début stand-up comedy DVD ever". A fact stated with pride on his website. Actress, Emily Mortimer, talks about her role in Ashecliffe (or Shutter Island). Completing the list of 'guests who's surnames begin with the letter 'M', is Mancunian Misery, Morrissey.

Aired: 2/13/2008"

BlueGirl writes:
Morrissey has been confirmed to play the Coachella Music Festival in Indio, CA on Friday, April 17th. Many rock luminaries will be shining that weekend as well (Leonard Cohen, My Bloody Valentine, X, Paul Weller & The Cure to name a few) so tickets may be hotter than the desert sun!

The festival runs for 3 days (April 17-19) and many fans will remember Morrissey's appearance at the very first Coachella back in 1999.

Morrissey Exclusive #2: The Memoir
by Staff; Photo by Michael Muller | 01.28.2009

In a recent interview with FILTER, Morrissey talked about his music, his life, the new record (Years of Refusal, February 17), and as you will find below, his much-anticipated memoir. Here’s the nugget:

And what about the memoir you're reportedly writing? How does that figure into life's unwieldiness?

Morrissey: If you're 99-and-a-half years old, you can't be sure of what happens next. Certainly, there just seems to be a natural point when it's time to speak. Here is mine.

Unpublished pix of Wolverhampton '88 (9 photos)
posted by davidt on Thursday January 29 2009, @10:00AM

Paige K. Parsons writes:
Whilst cleaning out my storage locker a few weeks ago, I came upon an old stash of negatives from my college days. Included were a few dozen from Morrissey's first solo gig at Wolverhampton in 1988. I've had them scanned and the best of them (which are all pretty grainy) are up on Flickr.

Thought the pics might be something the Morrissey Solo community might enjoy. I grant a non-commercial attribution creative commons license on all my images, so I hope you share them, print them and enjoy the memories.
