MORRISSEY SPEAKS TO NME!

This week's NME marks the end of a 12-year feud. Over a decade after MORRISSEY vowed never to speak to us again, he's finally given an interview to NME.

In 1992, after a notorious performance supporting Madness at Finsbury Park, London, in which he flirted with skinhead imagery and waved a Union Jack, NME wrote a cover feature which asked if he was racist.

Ever since then, the star has boycotted the magazine. Last month, however, he and NME buried the hatchet over an epic and hilarious conversation that took in why he thought Nirvana were "hippies", why he's distressed by Tony Blair's teeth, what he doesn't like about The Strokes, what he does like about The Libertines and - of course -why he has no regrets about that Union Jack incident. The issue is in the shops now, dated April 18.

MOJO's feature review this month is 'You Are The Quarry', accompanied by a cartoon of Morrissey in a white suit with a microphone singing in front of a set of red lights that spell out 'MOZ', behind which lurk several red demons.

You Are The Quarry ATTACK/SANCTUARY
4 stars out of five

Morrissey’s very own ’68 Comeback Special proves that despite the demons, rumours of his death have been much exaggerated.

Morrissey gets the lead news item on the cover of this week's Music Week, the leading UK music industry mag. Along with a colour shot of the "gun" photo, there's the usual blurb about the album, including a quote from Sanctuary: "Morrissey has made a brilliant record which we believe is his best solo work to date, that will excite his existing fans and a whlle new generation of music lovers." (Well, they're hardly likely to say anything else, are they??)

The article also mentions a new Smiths tribute album on the very credible Eat Sleep Records called How Soon Is Now, featuring the likes of Your Code Is: Milo, Hundred Reasons and Million Dead. The album is released on June 28th. (Can't remember if this has been covered??)

I went to the cinema today to see new British film, Shaun of the Dead (a spoof of Dawn of the Dead). Couldn't believe it when the main character, Shaun (played by Simon Pegg), was flicking through the TV channels and the The Smiths were shown playing Panic. The scene doesn't last long but it made my day!
