According to the official email (I'm sure many of you have already seen it):

** UK Residents Can Catch Morrissey On Channel 4 on Thursday 6th April
'4 Music Presents Morrissey' - Edith Bowman interviews Morrissey exclusively in this 30 min Channel 4 Special, which also features live performances of new and exclusive tracks from his latest album along with The Smiths classic 'Still Ill'. Produced by Nick Neads for At It Productions. Transmission date is Thursday 6th April at Midnight.

Isn't Edith Bowman that silly wench that was a bit anti-Mozza before? I wonder how sycophantic she'll be face to face with The Great Man?

This bulletin was just posted tonight. There is also a blog on his myspace page with the same info.

ROTT currently holds a 75 rating on Metacritic.

A small, not wholly serious, Morrissey article appeared in the London freesheet Metro today (Wednesday) - scan.

I went to Tower Records today to purchase the new album and they had me open it up in front of them. I asked why and they said, "there is a problem with the Deluxe Edition of the CD." In this version instead of getting a CD and DVD alot of people have been getting two CD's and no DVD. This seems to be a bigger problem on the East Coast for some reason. My CD/DVD combo was just fine and I had no problems. Has anyone experienced this problem yet?

For all fans in the US, I just went into my local record shop and found they had numerous copies of ROTT in stock and for sale.

I had ordered the special edition from them, so I've got that one.

But it looks like this one's been packaged with two CD's of the album, rather than a CD and DVD. Unless I'm missing something, this looks like something to be wary of...

I'm at work right now, so I don't have access to a DVD player to verify for sure...but if anyone else in the US has this problem, I'd like to know.
