Tony Visconti on Morrissey's current recording situation

Well actually, his reticence to sign is not really because he's so "old school" because major record labels have been like that for decades. I think it's more likely that he's just not getting offers from the majors and he thinks he's above D.I.Y. or indie label distribution. But if he were really old school in the way that Visconti is making it seem, he would eschew the majors just on principle; offers or not, and do it himself or with the minors.

I get what Visconti is saying but it's a red herring; it really has nothing to do with why Morrissey isn't recording. The idea that suddenly he is revolted by the ethos of big corporate record labels is gay.

Hey did you hear that, MozRecording? I said it's gay. As in slang for ridiculous, lame, phony, etc. I just wanted to clear up the context before you go running to David again.

It's neither here nor there really, more of a space filler.

Stephen Street - his record collection (BBC Radio 6, Jan 20, 2013)

Just heard a clip for a forthcoming programme on BBC Radio 6 at 12.00 on 20th January where Pete Paphides visits the London home of Stephen Street, to trawl through his magnificent vinyl collection.

I know it will feature other artists but the clip played was all Smiths music, so should be a good listen. :)

Bowie's comeback places him back at the centre of the whole shebang by Jonathan Ross - The Guardian

Excerpt:

"I chatted about this with another legendary music genius one night (a professionally miserable Mancunian of about the same age … you can guess). He thought it might be Bowie had figured he would never feel quite as relevant as he used to, never feel like he was at the centre of the cultural hurricane, so had maybe decided to cut his losses and ride off enigmatically into the sunset."
