There is a short preview by Paul Morley of ROTT for the observers "Music monthly" here.

In the next issue of the Music Monthly (published 19 February), there's a review of the forthcoming Morrissey album - which carries the snappy title 'Ringleader of the Tormentors'.

As you can see from this little taster, Paul Morley quited liked it:

'Ringleader is the story of a life all his other songs have only hinted at - it has a kind of exhilarating, intimate Blood on the Tracks suddenness the way it appears after years of him never quite out-doing his early classic work and sometimes seemingly trapped inside his own myth. From the day he was born, through the streets of Manchester, out into the mean world of sinister places and demanding people, to the day he never actually died - it's all here. Fans of Morrissey, and maybe a few enemies, will have all their prayers answered - a whole album of songs that rock, drone and swing in the way his best songs - Smiths or not - do between the strangely familiar and the completely unfamiliar...'

Read the review in full when the magazine comes out. The album itself is not released until 3 April but you should be able to pre-order it now.

In the NME dated 11-02-2006 there are two small articles with MOZ (scan).

One is regarding "Glasto:The movie" and the other
is about MOZ's comment on the SEX PISTOLS.

The BBC have just announced Morrissey will be headlining the "South By Southwest Festival" in Austin,Texas next month, from the 15th-20th of March.

Mozz will be playing on the Radio 2 stage. I think he's got top billing considering the others mentioned are, the zutons and Goldfrapp, but never underestimate the ineptness of festival schedulers.

Perhaps a strange decision on Mozz's part since SXSW is generally for emerging British acts looking for exposure in the American market, a realm in which Mozz has enjoyed profound success in recent times.

But who ever said Mozz was orthodox?

This is bordering on the uninteresting in the present climate, but in case it hasn't been included...

About a year ago a travel writer from the north of Ireland, Annie Caulfield, chose to call her latest book 'Irish Blood, English Heart, Ulster Fry'.



...Last November one of Ireland's main Sunday papers, the Sunday Tribune, ran a double-page analysis of a gangland mshooting in Limerick, under the heading 'First of the gang to die'...

Not cataclysmic, but it shows the influence of a well-turned phrase.

Two films which Morrissey has said he is a huge fan of are to be given away as free DVDs this weekend by The Telegraph newspaper(UK). Saturday Night and Sunday Morning (a line of dialogue from which is also the title of the debut album by Arctic Monkeys) will be free with the Daily Telegraph on Saturday, and A Taste Of Honey will be free with the Sunday Telegraph.

Not strictly speaking Moz news as such, but just thought Smiths/Moz fans might be interested in getting these!
