"I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris" enters UK chart at #21

posted by davidt on Sunday February 15 2009, @11:30AM

I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris enters the UK top 40 at number 21.

That's his worst performing lead-off single since Dagenham Dave in 1995 and his second worst performing single of the decade, only All You Need Is Me did worse (number 24).

"Shame Is The Name" free .mp3 on Morrissey.de

Taken from an inlay of the german standard version of Years of Refusal:

The first 1.000 people who register for a Morrissey-Newsletter on www.morrissey.de/mp3 will get a code for a free 320 kps download of Shame Is The Name.

Although the previous releases and the promo for the new single I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris have all been on the Decca label, it seems that the singles as well as all european releases will now be on Polydor.

"Years of Refusal" website

I've created a website for the new album Years of Refusal. Being a web designer I work on large ecommerce sites so need a creative outlet every now and then. I wanted to build a site that I had some personal interest and passion about. So, what could be better than my favourite artist's new album? The sites had a good response so far being featured on several web design galleries. Its only just gone live so any feedback, ideas or content would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Unfortunately there was no interview after all - but plenty of shots from Green Room. Music made up for it tho' - Paris followed by This Charming Man.

Predictibly JR made reference to the naked photo shoot - taking mick out of Boz. Mozz was in great form - obviously has good rapport with JR & presented him with a Peter Wyngarde LP. Don't suppose that they will broadcast the comments about a track on there called "Rape"!
