^Totally agree with you Caspar. I had a birds eye view & couldn't believe it when all those people walked in. Would have been very disappointed if I was in the first row. They looked quite arrogant about it too.

Typing on the phone, in an airport... I thought last night was brilliant! I've seen Morrissey on a few tours & last night was the most 'relaxed' & happy that I've seen him. Perhaps he's liking the band, the venue...I don't know, he just looked quite playful on stage. The ballot system did seem...

Wonderful news! The ballot application process has got me worried about my chances (pretty sure they didn't do a ballot when The Cure were the headline at Vivid)

I got the standard CD, deluxe CD, iTunes deluxe and 2x black LP, when I discovered that JB HiFi now sell vinyl.

Andrew P Street spent the early 90s trying to get his 'Morrissey inspired' band The Career Girls happening, they never did and he has yet to write any song lyrics close to Morrissey's. So of course, he became a music journalist. He also gave bad reviews to Maladjusted & Southpaw, ho hum

In some ways the marketing seems better than for YoR - I recall in Australia it took weeks for YoR to be stocked in the big box record shops. This time around the WPINOYB CD was on the shelf last Friday, there was in-store promo and it had a prominent spot on the shelf. The spoken word videos...

Re: Scathing article:Guardian: Morrissey You're a Fraud.(Morrissey & his fans have ruined everything This 'article' is completely nonsensical! So, Morrissey is to blame for who his fans are and what they are doing now they are in their forties? David Cameron liking the Smiths has already...

Your setlist is mostly correct: He played You Have Killed Me after Shoplifters and Let Me Kiss You after Meat Is Murder Shoplifters You Have Killed Me You're the one for me, Fatty Alma Matters Speedway Everyday Is Like Sunday How Soon Is Now? Ouija Board, Ouija Board One Day...

Re: Article: Melbourne - Vector Arena (Dec. 19, 2012) post-show Just back to the Hotel room from Festival Hall. Morrissey was in amazing form, his voice sounded strong & beautiful. I'm pretty sure the set list was the same but someone else can correct me, my memory is fuzzy! The film before...

Re: Article: Auckland (Dec. 15), Melbourne (Dec. 19), Sydney (Dec. 22) confirmed - tr I finally made it to Festival Hall, after my flight was cancelled. I'm at the venue & there are only 6 people on this door with me, slightly more around the Dudley St side. Bring on Morrissey!

A couple of Morrissey articles/ reviews in the morning papers. http://www.theage.com.au/entertainment/music/enigmatic-morrissey-returns-to-woo-fans-20121218-2bl7v.html http://www.theaustralian.com.au/arts/music/morrisseys-old-school-gig-full-of-strut-and-drama/story-fn9d2mxu-1226539912514

No, it wasn't about the quality of your phone pic - sorry if you thought it was. I guess my point is that newspapers are having fewer sales of their paper copies and are relying more on a click-through model of showing their value by the amount of people clicking the link or sharing the story on...

The Guardian just love using Morrissey's name to increase their click-through views.

I realise I'm probably in the minority, but I'd like to see less Smiths songs in the setlist (none would be fine by me). Also I was hoping that he would play at least one of the new songs. There is time for that still I guess.

Re: Article: Auckland (Dec. 15), Melbourne (Dec. 19), Sydney (Dec. 22) confirmed - tr Yesterday according to Twitter, Morrissey was seen buying two books in a Manchester book shop - maybe some reading for the flight over. On Facebook, Boz is already in New Zealand. I agree, that the setlist...

Re: Article: Auckland (Dec. 15), Melbourne (Dec. 19), Sydney (Dec. 22) confirmed - tr Only 8 days until the New Zealand / Australia leg of the tour begins! Any set list predictions or hopes?

Thanks! it's a Celebrity Studies conference and my paper is on....Morrissey :)

Fantastic! I'll be in Melbourne on the 12th presenting a conference paper at Deakin Uni. I now have something to do in the evening :)
