By Susan Garner, London, Last updated on October 11, 2013

UPDATE 11/10/2013 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

According to a source, rumors of Morrissey (from the Smiths) working in recording studio are true, with as many as eight songs having been put to tape. “It’s still in the early stages,” “He’s got security on the doors to ensure no-one hears a whisper,” a source said.

World Tour To Follow New Album?

Morrissey is rumoured to be planning a worldwide tour at the end of 2014. When contacted, a representative had no information on a new album, or any of the singer’s future plans. This isn’t the first time in recent memory reports have surfaced about Morrissey recording sessions. Fans will be anxiously awaiting...

Do you think Morrissey will pick up right where he left off and...

Should Morrissey autobiography be published as classic? (Audio clip runs 5 min. 50 sec) - BBC News

Penguin are publishing Morrissey's new autobiography in their Penguin Classics canon.

The book will sit along side the works of Aristotle, Austen Jane and Aristophanes, published under the same imprint.

Dr Gavin Hopps, who wrote a book about Morrissey, told the Today programme's Mishal Husain that it "is extremely interesting and brave on the part of Penguin to publish it as a classic."

"It's like putting the effect before the cause," he added.

Erica Wagner, former literary editor of the Times, said: "Generally, part of the definition of a classic is that time has to play a certain role, however highly one thinks of an artist."

...and here they are. Enjoy.

The Smiths unseen pics from Bath Moles Club, 16th September 1983 (9 photos)- asceneinbetween

Wow! Beyond rare, early and intimate pics of The Smiths from way back in 83 when they could barely get thirty people through the door. Taken by the young Martin Whitehead whilst a photography student, and never evolving beyond the negative stage until now. Maybe it's true that sometimes the best thing are worth waiting for and spend thirty years laying dormant in a shoebox.

This is their world exclusive debut. Thanks Martin.



On the strength of nothing more than their first single, "Hand In Glove", I wanted to interview The Smiths for my fanzine, The Underground. My usual method of turning up at the venue at sound check time when the band might be hanging around with time to spare worked again...

Another Moz reference on Parks & Rec. Sam Elliot's character gave the advice "in the words of the great Moz, "Hold On To Your Friends." Morrissey? The Smiths? Meat is Murder, one of the greatest anti-meat industry songs?"

This Charming Ron: 'Parks and Recreation' Drops Morrissey, Smiths Knowledge - Spin

Excerpt:

If you watched the latest episode of NBC's Parks and Recreation, you (spoiler, obviously!) saw mustachioed guest star Sam Elliott — the cowboy-hatted stranger from The Big Lebowski, among many other roles — perched on the floor in a meditative position, saying, "It's like Moz once said: Hold on to your friends." At priceless looks of puzzlement from Amy Poehler's...

Johnny Rogan will be reviewing Morrissey Autobiography for The Irish Times:

Harry Potter-style hysteria predicted for release of Morrissey’s autobiography - The Irish Times

Excerpt:

Johnny Rogan, who last year brought out a revised and updated 20th anniversary edition of his book, Morrissey & Marr: The Severed Alliance, and who will review Autobiography for The Irish Times, welcomed the news.

“The mystery surrounding Morrissey’s Autobiography is the equivalent of a publishing phenomenon. In an age of pre-publication hype, embargos and lead-ins of six months or longer, his book virtually appears from nowhere with a promise of publication as early as October 17th. It promises to be a ‘Harry Potter’-type event with crowds gathering outside bookshops at midnight with all the accompanying fanfare...

Mona has called Morrissey "a dick" while discussing Noel Gallagher with Fuse!

Mona say that Noel Gallagher is “not a d*ck” in video interview - Electric Banana

October 7, 2013

Noel Gallagher is “not a d*ck”, according to American rock band Mona.

The band were speaking at Austin City Limits Fest and admitted that supporting the ex-Oasis guitarist’s High Flying Birds on tour was an enjoyable experience. However, the band didn’t appear to have quite the same level of appreciation for Morrissey.

Speaking about Gallagher, Mona said: “From his tour manager down to the drivers, they are the most professional, respectful people we’ve ever been around. He doesn’t go out of his way to be overly friendly, but he’s not a d-ck. He’s not Morrissey.”
