Morrissey's Birthday! As many of us know already, Morrissey celebrated his 39th birthday on May 22nd. There were small parties in clubs everywhere, including Niagara Falls in Boston, Massacheusetts. Here are some of the wild pictures (special thanks to the creator of Wide To Receive)
"Former Smiths singer/now solo artist Morrissey is working on a U.S.-only of import, B-side and rare tracks, most of which have been rare or unavailable before. The collection will feature rare photos of the mope-pop singer and an enhanced CD portion with the never-before-released-in-the-U.S. video for the song 'Sunny'."

The collection of Morrissey's solo singles, Suedehead-The Best Of Morrissey was released. The list is as follows:Found in the dark corners of Morrissey's closet were the songs "Oh Phoney", "Striptease With A Difference", "My Name Is Mortimer", "The Bed Took Fire", "Born To Hang", "Fantastic Bird", and" Stay As You Are". Recorded between '90 and '93, they were never to appear on an album. Could they possibly be slotted for the new rarities collection "My Early Burglary Years"?
Tour News Morrissey's Maladjusted tour has been a success. I have listed all the tour dates and some pictures sent from a fan at the Providence, RI show. I've also added my review of the Kissimmee, FL show as well as some others. Be sure to check them out!About a year ago, the soundtrack to the hit television show "Friends" was released. Morrissey was supposed to have a song on there, but it never happened. Now there's going to be a second soundtrack for the show, and Morrissey is again supposed to lend a song. The show is nearly as popular in the UK as it is here in the US, and if Moz does decide to add a track, I think it would create a special "bridge" for this American show.
F.Y.I~ According to Microsoft Music Central (TM), Morrissey (accidently?) recorded the video for "Alma Matters" in a meat-packing warehouse. I found this extremely odd. Odder still is the fact that he's wearing a Beck T-shirt (his own) in the video. Apparently, Moz is a big fan. Beck should be flattered!
