Next Wednesday 20th September at 12 midnight on RTE2 TV, a conversation between reputable music DJ/presenter Dave Fanning, and Morrissey, is advertised in this Saturday's Irish Times TV listings: -

“'Two Sounds: The Last Broadcast, RTE2', on midnight: As well as music from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Primal Scream and Foo Fighters, this week's “Last Broadcast” features live performances from Irish bands Neosupervital and Director, and Dave Fanning is backstage with Maximo Park. The legendary Morrissey also talks about his album “Ringleader of the Tormentors’”.

A word of caution though; music only from Morrissey is promised on the TV website??

Morrissey and music charts topic mentioned on Popbitch

From Popbitch:

>> Digital love
              Download here for a hit

      Morrissey lashed out this week at the state
      of the charts. Particularly how the
      singles chart is now dominated by downloads.
      He doesn't know the half of it. There's a
      huge resurgence of attempted chart fixing
      going on by most of the labels, as its
      suddenly cheap and relatively easy to
      improve your act's position by buying up
      downloads. And we're sure he didn't know
      that even his own label, Sanctuary, hoped
      to manipulate the chart when he released
      the first single off his new album by
      discussing the idea of hiring someone
      to purchase multiple digital copies.

Minutes ago this conversation in Eastenders:
-You make me sound like an old bloke going on about the war.
-Next thing you'll be telling me how great The Smiths were.
-At least you know who Morrissey is. It shows your education wasn't completely wasted.
-Of course I know, he's an old geezer waving a daff.
