How deeply patronising. These guys, Alain in particular, have spent a LONG time waiting around for the possibility of a new Moz deal. Alain is a gifted songwriter and lyricist in his own right, as anyone who has heard any of his solo efforts or Johnny Panic material will attest.
What do you expect of him? That he sits on this gift and waits patiently for Morrissey to call him...maybe? None of them are on contracts with Morrissey, they are not his "official" group...they have never been officialy recognised as being "his" band and in the latest interview Moz even said that Johnny Marr had never been replaced...how offensive is that to Alain and Boz who have worked with him for longer than Marr ever did and who have produced work as good as anything the Smiths ever recorded?

Two deals in a week, aren't we being spoiled? (Score:1)
PS I know the Sanctuary press release says Moz is due in the studio soon but I'm sure I read that an album (or some songs at least) had already been recorded, did I mis-hear?

My love of The Smiths is absolute and Marr is one of the greats but for me Alain has been responsible for many of my favourite Morrissey moments.
One need only listen to "The Edges Are No Longer Parallel" to realise that Alain is a songwriter of phenomenal and unquestioned ability and quality.
A nice man, a handsome man, a kind man and a songwriter/musician who stands head and shoulders above many of his more celebrated contemporaries including Noel Gallagher, Graeme Coxon, Steve Mason and John Squire.
Just an opinion.
