Morrissey Releases Three New Solo Tracks from Forthcoming Album

By Mary Redstone

The pieces of Morrissey’s forthcoming album are not easily falling into place. The former Smiths frontman has not yet found a label to release the already-completed album and confesses “My talents do not lie in D.I.Y.”

But rather than starve his fans of new music while he searches for a worthwhile label, he decided yesterday to release three songs off the album to BBC Radio.

The entire interview, including the three songs, is available for streaming on Janice Long’s BBC Radio page here.

The three songs were not debuted as tracks off the album, but rather as live performances. They have been individually uploaded to YouTube for those who do not wish to listen to the entire podcast.

The three tracks are Action is My Middle Name, People Are the Same Everywhere, and The Kid’s a Looker.

Each songs’ sound is distinctly Morrissey, and should hold fans over until the album finally does get released.

Summer concerts help more than just the musicians – provide chain of economic stimulus

By Vanessa Leikvoll

It’s summer again, which means flip-flops, sunscreen and hot dogs. Unless you’re a concert buff, then it means parking passes, ticket fees, merch lines, and traffic jams. However, as you embark on your live-music adventures I urge you to consider: where is your money going?

Just think, if you’re attending a one-day concert you’re spending money on gas to get there, food when you arrive, the ticket to get in, and the fee to park.

If you’re attending a several day-long music festival, you’re spending all the above doubled plus lodging.

Lucky for you, your expenses actually help the economy! (So let’s not be stingy, eh?)
