mcrickson writes:February 16th, 2009 NME Article: Morrissey Reveals Retirement Plans - NME.com FORMER SMITH'S FRONTMAN HINTS AT WHEN HE MIGHT CALL IT A DAYMorrissey has suggested that he might retire after five more years in the music business. The former Smiths frontman said that the chances of him carrying on as a singer for much longer after his 55th birthday were "slim". He is currently 49. When asked if he could continue as a 55 or 60 year-old he told XFM, "I think it’s incredibly slim. For Heaven's sake! Really?" He also talked about other older musicians, and how he believed few remain relevant into older age. "I assume most people lose it because they become satisfied and they achieve everything they ever set out to achieve," he said. "More to the point, they become personally satisfied and that they're quite happy and it doesn't matter any more. "It's very interesting that it's very hard to think of anybody who ages and still manages to mean anything." |

The 10 Best Smiths Songs - Paste Magazine
By Nick Marino on February 17, 2009
Morrissey’s new album, Years Of Refusal, comes out today. And as much as we love the Mozzer’s best solo moments, nothing compares to the work he did with the Smiths, the immortal mope-rock band whose songs epitomized lyrical literacy and musical jangle. They were such an astounding band that they turned even Noel Gallagher into a fanboy.
Here, in my strongly biased opinion, are their 10 best tunes...

SweatSin writes:Fellow Morrissey lovers! My name is Jason Jimenez. My partner Lauren "Lolo" Reskin and I own and operate Miami's most underground record store, Sweat Records located at 5505 NE 2nd Ave, Miami, FL. We have records, cd's,dvd's, books, toys, local designer + band shirts. We are also an organic coffee house with vegan snacks (Lolo also runs http://www.MeatlessMiami.com), free wi-fi and host to book clubs, comedy nights, bands, movies and more. We also promote Miami's finest weekly indie party Fridays at The Vagabond plus a slew of concerts + events around town. Check us out online at http://www.sweatrecordsmiami.com to stay posted on our happenings! We absolutely love Morrissey and when CP1 spray-painted(using only 2 colors!) our "Wall of Idolatry" on the outside of Sweat, we had to include him! Others include Iggy Pop, Prince, Bjork, David Bowie, etc. etc. Hope you enjoy the likeness, and we'd love for you to stop by the store and see it in person! Maybe the man himself will come by before the tour... Iggy's already been here ;) I also host Off the Radar every Wednesday from 8-12 at The Standard Hotel on Miami Beach. Ray Milian, Danny Ashe + Tom Wareham play cutting edge new music from the http://www.offtheradarmusic.com blog every week! This Wednesday, Feb. 18th we are having a Morrissey listening party for "Years of Refusal" and giving out free tickets to the Feb. 28th show at the Mizner Park Ampitheater. We'll also have limited edition posters to give away. DJ Just Dandy will open the night at 8pm with a Morrissey/Smiths tribute set, then we'll play the album at 9pm. The Standard is located at 40 Island Ave, Miami Beach, FL. Hope to see you there!
