Because i'm at work, have a computer with internet access right in front of me, and have generally figured out when site updates are going to be posted.
DavidT has the page set up on a timer and the majority of times they hit directly on the hour as you can see by the time stamp on the news item.
Since my subscription has expired, i can tell by the "new story coming!" message that at roughly the start of the next hour that there will be goodies.
There you go. use that knowledge and be the "first" on the block to comment.

if that was true, i would have at least slipped in a bit about my pictures being on www.bozboorer.com.

Do you honestly think that if i had any special privileges from being on this website that i would even consider that my top priority? is somebody from the NME going to read it and offer me a job writing reviews for their publication? is Morrissey going to give it up and play Austin because he is so amazed by my intellect and wit? Hey, boz came last week and i'm sure he left town without a single thought about if i turned up or not.
i've been here for more years than i care to admit and i'm telling you now that my presence here has not resulted in any of the grand prizes that you could only dream would come with being the town idiot. who knows? maybe it resulted in the exact opposite. i believe in the black cloud. if i had gotten a life and never found this website, i'm sure morrissey would have been through austin a zillion times by now because that's how my karma works.

The day that you have a "real" employer, you'll find out soon enough that it's possible to do your job and live on the internet all day.

there you go again.
Morrissey news is very hard to come by where i live at and i'm lazy. about all i can lay claim to is sending in reviews that pop up in local newspapers. the rest of you people read the Guardian or NME routinely, so even if i find something, why should i bother sending it in when it's a guarantee that about 10 other people are going to email it to David?
as for me not writing here on this board anymore....i say something when i find something interesting, but it's not like days of old where i could argue with people over whether or not morrissey is being racist for all eternity. the old guard is gone and i've frankly lost interest in arguing over things that you'll never convince people otherwise. i guess we can call my response to what you're saying an exception. either way, there was a time when you could sustain an argument on a quasi-mature level, even if there was some name-calling and critiquing of spelling. about 1/2 of the posts here these days are made by people who are like little 8 year olds who make kissing noises when their older sibling brings home a date.

ok, i just imagined all the trolling.

Thank those with moderator points. They strike without warning and are amused and bored by inexplicable things.

Then there is no way this person works for this company because we all know that where i work is a bunch of clown shoes.

i see the gravity of the situation and agree it is one worthy of blackmailing someone with their job.

actually, that mike joyce post that you referred to is the SECOND to be posted.
