Morrissey Album Leaked Online - albumvote.co.uk

Ringleader of the Tormenters, the forthcoming album from Morrissey has been leaked onto the file share networks one month ahead of its official release date (April 3rd). The new album is bundled with the latest copy protection software but people with promo copies have had little difficulty ripping the CD to MP3 and other computerized music file formats.

Ringleader of the Tormenters is the latest in a long line of the big albums hitting the net before the shops including At War with the Mystics by the Flaming Lips which is also due out on April 3rd.

Time to mind the Buzzcocks - they're back! - The Independent

Excerpt:

"The Smiths definitely took some ideas from us, ie: the non-gender specific lyrics. Morrissey used to be at the back, taking notes, when we played the Electric Circus with Warsaw - who later became Joy Division - supporting. We were the catalysts in Manchester. We just happened to be there with the right idea at the right time. We influenced a lot of other people. Kurt Cobain really did like us."

Morrissey: "You Have Killed Me" - Pitchfork track reviews

If You Are the Quarry was a mid-career album so vibrant and fresh as to be literally incredible-- i.e. difficult to believe-- it's even more of a wonder that Morrissey's managed to sustain his relevance with nothing more than the same few aces he's always concealed in his immaculately tailored sleeve. No surprise, then, that Moz, practically a genre unto himself, has returned with yet another pitch-perfect Morrissey song. "You Have Killed Me" bears all the hallmarks-- the morose charisma; the stairway-to-pathos rock crunch throwing big-budget haymakers; the brawny vibrato with tears running down its prodigious muscles; the signature commingling of tragedy and romance, resistance and surrender. "I entered nothing and nothing entered me/ 'Til you came with the key, and you did your best/ But as I live and breathe, you have killed me." Sound familiar? It almost makes you angry to still fall for it. "There's no point in saying this again," Morrissey sings, seeming to accidentally indict himself, "but I forgive you." When that huge chorus swoops down, you'll do the same. [Brian Howe]

Mark Taylor writes:
Smiths Indeed editor Mark Taylor has reported a "phenomenal" response to the Morrissey-solo.com story about the reissue of all 12 issues of his fanzine.

As reported on this website earlier this week, Mark will be reissuing the legendary fanzine in April - 20 years after the first issue was released.

"It's incredible just how many Smiths and Morrissey fans have contacted me and ordered copies of these limited edition reissues," he said.

"I expected some interest, but this is quite overwhelming. I think it also goes to show that Morrissey-solo.com remains THE forum for Moz fans in 2006."
