    Morrissey on Minogue

    I've followed Morrissey for a very, very long time. Since the very beginning in fact. He is now an irrelevant bore. He has nothing to say so he spits his bile in all directions instead, treating his staff like slaves, his fans with contempt and his fellow entertainers as Aunt Sally's for his...

    All You Need is Me enters No.24 in the chart

    I Googled "Decca Head of Marketing" and the name "Dickon Stainer" appeared, but I think he may have moved on elsewhere, or been a creation of Ronnie Barker. http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=decca+head+of+marketing&btnG=Google+Search&meta= Decca's new Head of Marketing seems to be Pissy...

    All You Need is Me enters No.24 in the chart

    Decca sabotaged this release with their witless desire to cling to a dead format without releasing all tracks on the CDs or download, forcing mad keen fans to get them elsewhere. Some of us did mention it as I recall, and got attacked for it from certain imecilic quarters. Morrissey? Are you...

    The poor dear thinks I'm having a go at his icon though King Leer, when I'm clearly attacking his record company and their idiocy. Don't worry though. With fans like that Morrissey won't need any more enemies.

    I love you five minute Morrissey fans. So protective. It's very sweet. I've been putting money in his pocket since 1983 sunshine so I'll reserve the right to say what I think on a public forum and just because you spend your day with your head up his arse it doesn't mean the rest of us have...

    Patently obvious I would have hoped after seven pages of people who have had to steal the tracks because they couldn't buy them, download them or no longer have last century's technology with which to play them.

    So if he decides to make it difficult to get the tracks as he has with this release you welcome that? Very strange. Without wishing to sound too ancient I dimly remember the days when a record was released and you just "bought it" rather than having to forage for it in a sort of insane...

    The sole purpose of a record company marketing department is to sell product. They have contrived, at some cost, and on high salaries, to make it as difficult as possible to buy the very thing they are selling. They think they are clever and have proved themselves to be the very opposite. They...

    The current marketing plan prohibits a decent version, I'm afraid. Maybe next year.

    I'm glad you mentioned that Amy because... I kind of agree with you. I think "My Dearest Love" is excellent, by the way, but for me some of the sheen has rubbed off the Great Man recently. It's in no small part due to some of the tales I've heard here and elsewhere of the difficult nature he...

    OK, All nicked or appropriated illegally now. No money required. Was that the idea marketing morons? Here's a thought... have a line, sit back and listen... I want you to open your tiny minds real wide now... Two CD singles with all the tracks across both. A ten inch vinyl picture...

    Let me just make sure I have this right, because it seems so ludicrous I must have got it wrong... 2000 years of civilisation and the only way to get the full release and ALL the B-sides is to steal them or buy a wax cylinder machine, and iTunes have only put up a studio and live version of...

    Moz & Franz Ferdinand gay fiction?

    There is no love like a "rescued" prostitute's love. Apparently.

    Many of us don't frequent the gay fan fiction sites.

    I didn't know that. I don't really follow Talking Heads tribute bands.

    Moz & Franz Ferdinand gay fiction?

    “Stay with me,” Steve said. He turned Alex to face him and they hugged each other. They couldn’t keep their hands still and stroked each other’s sweaty bodies in a desperation of lust. “I can’t let you walk way from this bed to go back to that street corner just to kneel down in alleyways. Tell...

    Moz & Franz Ferdinand gay fiction?

    Has anyone seen the link in Popbitch for this weird Morrissey and Franz Ferdinand rentboy fiction piece. I won't post the link here, as there are youngsters around and it gets VERY graphic, but it's really quite bizarre. Here's a clean (ish) extract... "But the man was attractive, certainly...

    NME huge circulation loss.

    Forgive me if this has been posted elsewhere here. I had a quick look and couldn't see it. The NME has suffered a 12% year on year circulation loss. Shame, eh? http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2008/feb/14/abcs.pressandpublishing7
