Interview: Pat McGuire, Editor-in-Chief of FILTER Magazine - LAist
Speaking of interviews, how did FILTER land that exclusive interview with Morrissey?
We tried to get Morrissey three or four years ago, and apparently he said yes, then in true Morrissey fashion, he canceled. So every now and then, when he had something new coming out, I'd write an e-mail to his publicist and I'd hear back that he wasn't doing interviews.
Six months before he said yes to this interview, we got an inkling that he might be entertaining the idea of doing it because he likes FILTER. That has really been our biggest asset. You can get baby bands to do interviews no matter who you are, but to get a true artist like that who hates press and is so concerned about his image and everything, that's always incredible.
So he finally said he would probably do it, but we didn't get a final answer for a while. That was right before Thanksgiving, and I was going to Europe for two weeks on vacation. I got to Paris and checked my e-mail, and there was a message from Morrissey's publicist saying, "Yes, he's in. He wants to do it tomorrow at your office." Luckily, I had prepped the interviewer, Cameron Bird, so I sent an e-mail to him and we set it up.
How did you get those great photos in the cemetery?
Our writer and photographer snuck Morrissey into the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. They got run out eventually, but we became friends with the people from the cemetery and convinced them to approve the photos we shot there.
We have developed a great relationship with the unbelievably talented photographer Michael Muller through our mutual love and respect for certain artists. Michael has shot bands such as Flight of the Conchords and the Shins for us, and his Morrissey photos turned out to be absolutely amazing.
So the whole thing came out really well and what's funny about that interview is—and of course I wasn't there—but Cameron is really young, 24 or so, and Morrissey kind of fucked with him at the beginning of the interview. On the tape, you can hear that Cameron was a little unsure of how to take it, but he totally won him over and they had a real conversation. It's really awesome and I'm so proud of that one. Cameron is an amazing writer.

Jack Penate takes advice from Smiths for new album - NME.com
Jack Penate has said that listening to The Smiths' song 'Accept Yourself' helped him sort out his all-or-nothing approach to his second album, 'Everything Is New'.
The songwriter revealed that the track, the B-side of the Manchester legends' 1983 single 'This Charming Man', helped him deal with his old attitude.
"I'll either wake up and think everything's going to be great and this record will work or I'll be thinking, 'That's it. It's over. What's the point?'," Penate said of his inability to "stay on an even keel".
Penate also told The Sun that his new album, which is due out on Monday (June 22), is "a bit bipolar", thanks to the upbeat nature of some of the songs and their contrasting serious lyrics.
According to the singer/guitarist the new album documents the "underbelly of my life", whereas his debut album, 2007's 'Matinee', was "a bunch of teenage stories".
