King Leer I believe you're correct about the Morrissey depicted flyposting for AU but where do you get the idea that the collaborators played at Meltdown last year? I've looked again at Angela's posts from Monday and Thursday and I don't see it. Was it mentioned on that site? Angela/Slug mentions that they played a gig but it doesn't say "at Meltdown". AU apparently played a gig in Germany in 2004.

OK stop e-mailing me
Okay, stop e-mailing me about the Morrissey collaboration thingy. Also it must be a very slow week in Morrissey news for that to be top story on Morrissey-solo.com. It's not so much a story as it is an interesting tidbit. Initially I was given permission to release the details about the new collaborators but then a week later I was asked not to. Apparently the band is nervous that if the info gets out Moz will change his mind or something. I dunno. Also, I got the impression that the guys in the band were only collaborating for a few songs. I didn't get the impression that they were writing a whole album or taking over for Boz or Alain.
I haven't seen any correct guesses. No, it's definately not Oasis! All I can say without giving it away is that they were an 80's band. I think their peak period was 1980-81. They played a gig last year so I guess they're still going in some capacity? There's a book about them due to be released soon.
As soon as I can release the details I will. But probably by then someone would have already figured it out.

Guess who's collaborating with Morrissey now?
Ok, I don't know if the last Popbitch story is true, but I do know that a very good source recently informed me that Morrissey is currently collaborating with someone other than Boz & Alain.
I've been sworn to secrecy not to reveal just who it is. Apparently these new collaborators - yes that's plural - have been writing tracks for Moz and sending them across the Atlantic to LA.
These collaborators, who in my opinion are criticized more for their fanbase than music, are sure to raise an eyebrow or two. Quite possibly it's a fantastic new direction for Moz.
