The NME Awards nominations are out and Morrissey is up for four (Best Solo Artist, Hero Of The Year, Sexiest Man and Best Dressed), while Morrissey-solo is nominated for best website! I may be wrong, but as far as I can see Morrissey and Morrissey-solo's combined nominations are only surpassed by The Libertines' (including Carl Barat's but not Pete Doherty) - corrections on a postcard please. Or even better, go to www.nmeawards.com and vote, just to make sure. --- Full list of NME Awards 2005 nominees.

Congratulations David T. SOLO will win. (Score:0, Troll)
The Libertines site gets less traffic, less hits. And now with Pete gone, do "The Libertines" still really exist?
Muse fans are not as passionate as we are (nobody is) and they don't have the numbers we do.
People are not going to vote for the NME.com, because they are going to vote for a band they like or not vote at all. Plus quite frankly NME.com is not all that great. I say this because they miss a lot of news stories, for example, only capturing about 50% of the big Moz news, not to mention none of the small stories. Manchester Online (M.E.N.'s site) to name just one site is much better for Moz news.
U2.com is a paid site that costs $40 to join and has a limited amount of users because of it. This is SOLO's only real competition.

Why? Because it makes no attempt to make money from fans, its created by fans (David ultimately but all who post and contribute too) for fans and has kept going as strong as ever when others have given up, even when it looked like there was no hope for a Morrissey comeback.
This site is widely recognised as THE Morrissey site on the net and David, you should be very proud of what you've achieved, award or no award.

the services that moz-solo provides (Score:2, Funny)
but let's not forget that this place services the rabid fan that no other fan site has before or since! i've met interesting people here. i was able to arrange a trip to Boston in '97 to see my first morrissey show ever thanks to the tour listings. I baked in the sun at Coachella. i found out that Austin was canceled when the official site made no mention. i've bored people to an endless degree with my journal and in the old days, with my really bad singing. I've been to Bath, Las Vegas, and southern nevada as an indirect cause of this site. i was prodded to see the Las Vegas show when i probably would have otherwise just stayed at home and watch Law & Order re-runs.
so thanks, moz-solo, for helping us laugh at love...again.

Re:who does moz service... (Score:2, Interesting)
moz may have been "celibate" at one time. and based upon that old interview that surfaced on the BBC, i think it wasn't necessarily because he's destined to wander as lonely as a cloud as it was some fear that it would mess up his future career as a rock star and celebrity. love has a strange way of tying you down, i suppose, and before you know it, you're working a menial job to support your family. however, now that he's older and has all of that and had years where he had plenty of free time, what is there to stop him? your priorities change once you get older and so maybe even morrissey eventually became too lonely to keep it up.

Back then this website was the only thing that kept the whole Moz bandwagon on the road and maintained the fans thirst for new information.
Now Morrissey is being more productive, this web-site is THE place to turn to as a fan and has a exceptional track record for breaking news.
The nutters on this site just add to the overall entertainment that Morrissey-Solo provides.

Morrissey-solo is one of the most comprehensive websites I've ever seen -- surfing since '93. The undisputed heavyweight champion for me.

Granted, Quarry was pretty mediocre but First of the Gang is easily one of the year's best songs.

Definitely should be Moz. But, I don't see it happening. Ian Brown should get "Best Drunken Outburst At A Festival" for his heart-wrenching proclamation that 'Moz....has been....cancelled...blaaaahhhhh!'
Best Website:
I do see this site getting the award, despite some of the Black EYES. Afterall, if you're responding to this story, how can you not feel this way? The NME nominates itself? That'll go good. That's like David Stern making a new award for best Commissioner in the NBA. David T., YOU are our MVP.
Hero of the Year:
Will they take the sympathetic route and vote for John Peel? Ray Charles and Aaliyah seem to think so. Hey, what happened to Tom Cruise? Shouldn't he get it for saving that chick who crashed her car? What about Jet Li? Nevermind.
Sexiest Man:
I don't know about any of these clowns, but MY vote goes for Peppermint Poundstone. PAUL could beat any of these guys, on HIS worst day. Even more so than 'Alan' Degeneres.
Best Dressed:
You can't argue this one. Even those who despise Moz have to vote for him on this one. What?! Are you kidding me?! The man probably has Gucci dinner napkins. Uh...i'll have to get to Stalker Art on that one.
WAR Moz-Solo

Best dressed? (Score:1)
1) He appeared on Jonathan Ross wearing a red blazer with grey slacks and consquently looked like a cross between Jack Hawkins and a Butlins employee.
2) At Glastonbury he wore a highly patterned purple smoking jacket which resmbled curtian material perhaps used in a downmarket Paris brothel.
3) The priest outfit was funny the 1st time but tiresome by the 100th time.
