The year is 2033 and Morrissey has announced his biannual newly recorded album which, by tradition, will now be locked in a vault at Capitol Records. Morrissey has said he'll be starting on album 36 earlier than anticipated this year because "I think I only have another 14-15 in me"

Morrissey needs to go on Shark Tank and sample some songs.

 

[j*e*t]

Reminds me when I first saw someone in a "Notre Dame" sweatshirt , I thought, "Gee that's a very sporty look, for a Christian."
Fighting Irish football, isn't that just normal Irish guys in a pub on a Friday night? I have no doubt M could write a song about that, just wondering if he has room for a Muslim in the mêlée.

("Muslim mêlée". Now there's a good title for the 3rd unreleased album... )

There has always been fighting in Ireland. Some think the troubles started with Cromwell and an English invasion, but in fact in the 12th century the Pope asked the Norman kings (who were really Viking-French and had conquered England) to try to bring order to Ireland and stop the bloodshed between the tribal factions. Of course, history is written by the conquerors, but I always think Morrissey has in him a legacy of Irish fighting spirit.

Or Zoom Zoom The Little Bastard (just a thought)

Someone posted a Blondie song from 1999 called Boom Boom In The Zoom Zoom Room, whose meaning remains mysterious. Maybe about speed dating or something.

But there's a line in Sure Enough the Telephone Rings, partly echoing the new title i.e. 'you must tell the kids they live in hell now'. So it might be about Ed-tech, digital surveillance and the like?

 

[Harrys wife]

A victim would go away and talk about how 'traumatised' he has been by Capitol. Instead Moz has written and recorded a new album. That's not bad. He's a survivor, not a victim. Now he just needs to by-pass blood suckers like Capitol and self release.

Right. Morrissey. Never complains. Hahaha

Hmmmm….that’s interesting. It definitely could be! I’m really excited about the upcoming dates and hopefully he’ll play some of those songs. Maybe then we’ll know for sure.

 

[Johnnie Ray]

Bonfire will remain lost and he won’t play any songs from it anymore I suppose.

All the focus on this new album from now on!

Morrissey is the king of lost stuff. People are the same everywhere, Action is my middle name, the kid's a looker, World Peace album, and now the Bonfire album. Classic Morrissey. Always losing songs. Oh and even odds this new batch of songs gets lost too.

 

[dneuer]

A lightning strike.

Rumour has it, that "Headache" begins like this:

This wrinkle in art, I can't give it no credit.
I thought about my life and I really got me down. (Got me down!!!)
Got me so down, I got me a headache.
My heart is caged in my cranium and it still knows how to pound.
I was counting sheeps
And I fell me into sleep...

One of my fave FB tunes!

Hopefully you picked up some version of the World Peace album, including the B-sides. It's a terrific record and you should have a copy!

 

[Juan Dulces]

Could "Suspicious Minds" be the honest reappraisal of the destroyed relationship with Johnny Marr?
"We're caught in a trap..
I can't walk out...
So if an old friend I know
stops by to say hello....
We can't go on together..."

You know, he already did that on Forgive Someone I think. 'The black peat of the hills...'

I'm definitely excited for the sound of this new album. Him recording this particular Elvis song really has me thinking.

 

[Crisstti]

Yes, but Central post credits it to a Mark Adams.....

A google search for Suspicious Minds and Mark Adams links to this thread as its first result... must be a typo for sure. It's got to be an Elvis cover.

Capitol records have terminated their contract with Morrissey so they don't have a license for his records anymore. He's free of them and their shackles.

What could this mean for Bonfire?

 

[Crisstti]

I had a quick look to see how much it costs to self release your own music on digital platforms. It's not actually that expensive. There would also be the option of having your own CDs and vinyl produced - definitely more expensive, but signed copies I imagine would sell like hot cakes at the merch stall at a concert, and at a fairly inflated price. If Moz waits for a record label to sign him - he may be waiting a long time. And his hurling days are done. He's no spring chicken. Time is against him on this one.

Absolutely. He already has the Mporium as a platform to sell this stuff. With his love of 'classic' album design Moz could have something really special produced in physical format. Although get rid of SER and employ somebody decent as graphic designer. Imagine what a limited edition of Without Music would sell for. I can't believe he doesn't see the attraction of completely bypassing the blood sucking record labels and their 'you're my bitch now' contracts.

there's a new pressing plant in the UK, based in Middlesbrough called press on vinyl . they are doing great business too . I just priced up the cost of pressing 3000 copies of a single 12" vinyl , depending on what your requirements are regards album colour , photo sleeve, inner sleeves, album weight etc , it came out at just under 10k . so say it Sold at 25 quid that would be 75k profit . he could do that in each country ... not sure what the last few albums have sold in total but there is definitely money to be made .

Someone needs to get this info to Moz's camp. They might actually not be aware of it.

 

[stux]

They know. Alain has his own label called Alsden, they would use that if Morrissey really just wanted to release.

 

[Not me]

That’s only profit on the manufacture of the record. What about the cost of studio time, musicians, distribution, marketing etc?

not much left after that.

Absolutely they know. And Moz has commented on this subject before. Things do feel different now though. He can't run the risk of what happened to Bonfire happening to Without Music too.

The songs here are better than anything Moz has put out in a long time.

Nice find! Forgot all about that.
He’s been here so many, many times before.
