Five months before the event, Q Magazine have written a short preview of 'Tormentors' in their 'Upcoming Albums' section.

They call Moz "old misery guts", say that his decision to record in Roman catacombs is "bizarre" and say that it's "lucky" for Moz to have T Visconti on hand to "drag the album into the twenty-first century".

Evidently John Harris is sharpening his quill already.

I was reading this weeks NME, and there is a small piece on Johnny Marr's new album, which does not yet have a title.

Anyways, he says that he has heard some of Morrissey's new songs and says:

"Yeah, it is quite different. Not my cup, but ya know it is interesting"

How would Marr have heard the album???

This article is in tonight's Manchester Evening News.

It's good to see that the M.E.N.s journo's spend all day surfing the web to get old stories

New York Doll director, Greg Whiteley, shares tales from the making of the film and some inspiring music on KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic. You can stream the session here (RealAudio).

He begins by talking a bit about Moz and playing his cover of "Trash" from Live in Dallas '91.
