By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) March 11, 2009 1:55 pm
This double DVD set features two documentaries about The Smiths and Morrissey. The first, Morrissey — The Jewel In The Crown, examines Mozzer's solo career from his 1989 Viva Hate debut to 2004's You Are The Quarry. Unfortunately, as the film hasn't been authorized by Morrissey or his management, it's completely free of his music. The result...

Morrissey — Years Of Refusal

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) February 20, 2009 4:12 pm
"I'm doing very well," Morrissey sings in the first line to "Something Is Squeezing My Skull," Years Of Refusal's opening track. It's a telling line for the legendary mopester, especially if you thought Morrissey had fallen off over the last few years. The track is barely two minutes, and it's just one of 12 great songs on the most rocking...

Morrissey — Greatest Hits

in
By Aaron Brophy (CHARTattack) February 12, 2008 6:53 pm
"Greatest Hits" is definitely a misnomer here. It's more like "greatest hits from Morrissey's last two albums." Of the 15 tracks represented, there are four from 2004's You Are The Quarry and four from 2006's Ringleader Of The Tormentors. Coupled with the two obligatory previously unreleased songs and a recent live cut, that leaves only four...

Morrissey — Ringleader Of The Tormentors

in
By Aaron Brophy (CHARTattack) April 4, 2006 11:49 am
Press material for Morrissey's new album, Ringleader Of The Tormentors, hails him as "the new Roman Emperor," owing to his having recorded it in Rome. It's a fair comparison, not because the Moz is like some quasi-leader for the entire western world, but because his time spent in Rome has been spoiled in excess. Whereas Morrissey's 2004 comeback...

There was much nervous hand-ringing amongst Moz fans when word got out he was set to make his return. His last album, 1997's Maladjusted, was clearly the most awful of his career and 1995's Southpaw Grammar wasn't much better. Couple that with the fact Moz had signed up Jerry Finn (Blink-182, Green Day) to produce and the worst sort of Morrissey-...

Morrissey Bans Fan Site Founder From Gigs

Morrissey has decided he'd much rather kick David Tseng in the eye than smile at him. Metaphorically, of course. Tseng will never attend another Morrissey gig as long as he lives. Or at least until Morrissey decides otherwise. Or until Tseng sneaks into a show. Morrissey has banned Tseng, who is the founder of Morrissey fan site morrissey-solo.com...
