Johan writes:
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).

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

How do you feel about Morrissey dropping the F-bomb during his recent concert in Hamburg, Germany? (suggested by Ken Stavitzke)
I support Morrissey's response
Morrissey could have replied differently
I am undecided
I don't care
The audience provocateur should be examined, not Morrissey's reply
