*Facepalm* It wasn't humorous, let alone actually funny, the first time you said it (years and years and years ago) and it certainly hasn't become funny with repetition. You're no Stewart Lee. It's actually almost more tedious than the endless posts you make about Radio 2 airplay and your...

So no Rourke? Perhaps significantly, he is the only one of the three still on good terms with Marr (and not on awful terms with Morrissey). I'm envisaging there's been a communication. 'Andy, old bean - Steve and I are probably going to perform again together in the next 18 months and we'd like...

What a flipping cheek! They didn't write a single note of music in the Smiths. I guess, technically, anyone would be allowed to do this. It's like another covers band. Presumably they didn't need permission from the people who composed these songs to go in and grab all this glory. On the plus...

My post was tongue-in-cheek. We have an exceptionally dimwitted troll in our midst who claimed that if Morrissey couldn't outsell Willy Gallagher, he could no longer be considered an icon. I have (rather enjoyably) debunked out troll for the deluded, ignorant f***wit he truly is on many...

Is it all over for Bono and the boys? They haven't sold as many records as the new Liam Gallagher album - guess that means they are no longer icons?

Johnny Marr hates Joyce Michael almost as much as Morrissey does. Neither wants nor needs to get back with him. I've got a lot of time for Marr. Seen him live 5 or 6 times. His first solo album was pretty good (3 or 4 excellent songs) but his second one was awful. You don't expect great singing...

He doesn't really need to work with a new band or songwriters. They're the best he's had since the early 90s - so much better than the Southpaw to Years of Refusal chug-rock era. He could probably do with some help with the lyrics, though, as they often really let him down these days. The...

Oh joy of joys. Finally, we get a thoughtful, insightful, witty interview. And, at last, a comment about Bowie (and a rather sweet one at that). Thanks for posting.

You are an absolute f***wit on so many levels. I am forced to debunk your utter fraudulence and make a complete fool of you once again. When Morrissey played the Albert Hall the last time, the date sold out and he issued a specific message to the media. "The Albert Hall concert has sold out...

It will inevitably plummet from the chart as all albums of acts with a fanbase the size of Morrissey's always do. No surprise there at all. Of the 10 previous solo albums, 8 plummeted from the album chart never to return. Only Quarry and Viva Hate went back up due to the success of their second...

It's all a bit pointless really. None of the radio stations are playing it. I expect they feel they've promoted him enough recently, especially given all the bad publicity (largely his fault). They should hold off now for a good month or two, and then maybe release a live version of All the...

It's an odd one. Radio 2 and 6 Music probably felt some kind of obligation to a-list Spent the Day in Bed. Radio 2 because they were given the world exclusive, and 6 Music because they had the live concert. But Absolute Radio a) was under no obligation and b) is a commercial station. Radios 2...

There are indeed. They're almost as bad as the absolute loons who hate Morrissey yet spend hours on this site every single day. What a way to live one's life.

Must admit, I wouldn't say that I either loved Taylor or big Steve. But I do like a lot of their songs. Still struggling with Reputation - where 1989 had about 8 great songs, this new one feels like it might only have 3 or 4. That could still change as I've only listened to it about 5 times.

I think that's par for the course - normally sells a few more in the UK (25,000 in week 1) than in the US. Guessing the total worldwide for the first week will be around 80,000.

Ooh, looks like a lot of love from Finland with 4/5s all round. Maybe the next album will have a Finnish theme. "I am asked to leave this club in Helsinki'? Hmm, must be a better rhyme...

Four different songwriters - I think that's a first on a Morrissey studio album. Putting the singing and the lyrics to one side, who came up with the best pieces of music?

Wow - 37% better sales than World Peace despite considerably worse reviews. The public must have loved 'Spent the Day in Bed' and just ignored the critics. Remember the world's twattiest trolling loser imploring everyone to 'Boycott Low in High School'? Your campaign failed, little f***wit...

Top marks for this YouTube comment about 'The Girl from Tel Aviv': "I love a jaunty, piano tune from Mozz, it's so unfamiliar but welcomed....like seeing a teacher outside of school or a dog walk on its hind legs." Brilliant!

I've pretty much lost track of who's who in the Morrissey band since the Years of Refusal era. Boz and Jesse have obviously stayed in it, and I know there were some brothers, one of whom left. Not even sure I'd heard of Mando Lopez before this new album came out but I'm guessing he's been the...
