Interesting that Richard Hawley is on the bill considering he auditioned for Moz's touring band in '91.

Boz was in Los Angeles last week auditioning drummers for the upcoming tour.

'This is sacrilege' - The Guardian

The gangling teenager on the screen is murdering the Smiths. To make things worse, it is one of my favourite tracks. A pair of infectiously happy girls have just done a nice karaoke of There Is a Light That Never Goes Out, and earlier on there was a slightly camp rendition of Boy With the Thorn in His Side that wasn't bad either, with swoop-armed early-Morrissey turns and dives from a kid with a house key safety-pinned to his jumper. This one, though, doesn't make me smile. I don't think his voice has properly broken - he warbles between octaves. He's short-sighted, too, reading the lyrics off a crumpled sheet of paper. At one point, he even falls off the screen. This is sacrilege. But, I'll admit, alone in the space with the video and the backing track, I find it impossible not to do my own appalling singalong to songs that, 20 years or so ago, soundtracked a sticky patch in my own life. Heaven knows I was miserable then. But what does all this have to do with photography?

ROTT album preview (?), Morrissey essay competition on Morrissey site

An anonymous person writes:
There's a comprehensive review/preview of the new album on this site and a Morrissey essay competition for anyone interested.

Essays 500-1000 words on the subject "Morrisseyism - what does it all mean?"

Deadline for submission of essays listed on the site.

Not sure if this is an official thing like the myspace site or done by a journalist but the review is excellently written.

Sample: "Elsewhere, potential singles "The Youngest was The Most Loved" and "I'll Never Be Anybody's Hero Now" capture the old pop Morrissey at his best, while weirdly droning closer "At Last I am Born" - along with "Pigsty" - help to foment something essential in "Ringleader." An Italian children's choir makes a guest appearance, jazzy horns turns up on the chipper "I Just Want to See The Boy Happy," and Ennio Morricone trumps the delightfully ersatz synth strings on "Quarry" with some beautiful string arrangements. Although the spirit of Marc Bolan seems to loom large over "Ringleader," this feels like it was written and recorded in around 2006, instead of sometime in 1972. It takes elements of the past and turns them into something thoroughly vibrant and modern."

well worth taking a look
