Can you guess the date of Morrissey's next original release? The last release was the "Satan Rejected My Soul" single around December 1997.

The growing frustration of just about everyone who visits the site is fairly evident in all the various discussion areas. I don't claim to know anything apart from what's been said in interviews, but the holdup seems to be purely business related - not being able to agree to terms on a recording contract. I haven't heard of the situation changing, so it could be a while. Suggestions for what to do in the meantime are welcome also.

P.S. My guess is March 5, 2001.

On the bottom of page 5 in the August 5-11 issue of TV Guide, there is a small comic (That's Entertoonment by Ward Sutton) depicting Regis Philbin singing "an old Smiths tune...". Stupid, sure but disturbing nonetheless.

Something useful or useless...

Yet another Morrissey/Smiths mention in Spin magazine (August 2000). Frequently, they keep the moz flame alive by making side references to him in their articles and reviews. Seems they're always comparing new bands to "the way the Smiths used to sound if..." Here's what they said in their "The Hit List--New Artists" section.

Aden, "Hey 19" (teenbeat)-Wonder what the Smiths would have sounded like if Morrissey had had access to Zoloft? Some have compared Aden frontman Jeff Gramm to the Moz--but unlike that world-class brooder, Gramm's sweet, simple, cynicism-free guitar-pop doesn't make you want to off yourself or others. Boasting a fan club that reads like a Who's Who of gentle indie rock (members of Seam, Aluminum Group, and the Sea and Cake), Aden are the most talked-about band you've never heard of.
