Behind him, men and women in their 20s and draped in black sipped house cocktails, like the cucumber martini and strawberry caipirinha, while swaying to the sounds of the Smiths. “I would go out tonight, but I haven’t got a stitch to wear,” a fashionista sang along with Morrissey, and with purpose, while thumbing away on her BlackBerry.

The Red Radio e-zine has High Hopes for YOR
The Red Radio online music magazine gives first place to Morrissey's Years of Refusal on its most wanted list for 2009 -

"We all know half the record already, but the half we don't know has a pretty insane buzz going on right now. Alain Whyte returned to write five of the new tracks with Moz - very promising. He also helped sculpt the two upcoming b-sides to first single I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris. Chrissie Hynde returns to guest some vocals on the b-side titled Shame Is The Name. Fans may remember that Hynde provided some backing vocals on Morrissey's 1991 single My Love Life. Fingers crossed for this one."

THE SMITHS
The Sound of the Smiths (Sire/Rhino) Considering the vast influence the Smiths continue to exert, Morrissey probably had no idea how prescient he was being when he wrote 1987's "I Started Something I Couldn't Finish." Or maybe he did; he notes elsewhere on this comprehensive singles comp that "These Things Take Time." Regardless, nobody ever mined the depths of misery with more acerbic wit than le Moz, and few (if any) have ever redefined the limits of rock guitar more thoroughly than his nemesis/muse Johnny Marr. Hand in glove, indeed. Extras: Live, demo and alternate versions of all manner of raincoat classics: "How Soon Is Now?" "This Charming Man," "Pretty Girls Make Graves," etc.
