'Somebody has to be me'

Morrissey loves his new album, his comeback show sold out in hours and he's been given London's Meltdown festival to curate. So why the long face? By Dorian Lynskey

I was searching around LimeWire and I found something interesting: It is a grainy .avi file of the Morrissey video shoot, "Irish Blood English Heart" (3.0 MB AVI file, right click to download. Also available at Mrs. Shankly's). The footage is about 30 seconds long and portrays a bystander's view of the taping process; shows set personnel, etc. plus the man himself (performing in front of the camera).

This mention was in the NYPost, but mentions Entertainment Weekly.

BEYOND CURE

GET ready for a new rock rivalry: Robert Smith (above), singer for new wave heroes The Cure, sounds ready to pull fellow '80s icon Morrissey's pompadoured hair out. "He was constantly saying horrible things about [The Cure]," Smith sniffs to Entertainment Weekly. "In the end, I kind of snapped and started retaliating. And it turned into some kind of petty feud. I've never liked anything he's done musically, but I don't have any kind of strong feelings of animosity towards him as a person because I've never met him."

Rhodri, of the underrated band The Free French, host of entertaining web site Timewasting.com, and freelance writer apparently assigned to review YATQ, reports that the record is "surprisingly good."

Also, as I'm sure many have noticed, Pitchfork recently reviewed IBEH and reported that the single "suggests the possibility that [the album] could be quite good."
