Morrissey’s poetry can’t escape the murk, review by Pete Ross - Sunday Herald (3 stars)

ORSON Welles, an endlessly discussed public personality following his Citizen Kane, was once heard to lament: “Nobody reviews my movies any more, they review me.” Morrissey has benefited enormously from a similar situation. The notices for Ringleader Of The Tormentors have been gushing, critics seemingly so delighted that he is finally having sex, or at least finally writing about having done so, that they have lost all judgement. The truth is that Ringleader is a far weaker album than its predecessor, You Are The Quarry, the problem being that there are not enough catchy tunes...

New b-sides recorded the old way (Moz's vocals last) according to Boyfriends tour diary

The last part of The Boyfriends tour diary (Playlouder) is now up...

Matt the new drummer is telling us about some b-sides he's just finished. The songs are recorded as instrumentals and nobody has any idea of how the vocal is going to sound until Morrissey goes in and does his bit. A strange way of working, but it seems to work.

Oh, and Matt's favourite songs are "I Will See You In Far Off Places" and "Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before" which he hopes they'll be playing again soon.
