When March ends, we can usually expect April to arrive shortly after. Of course, that means new pranks to ring in the new month, blooming flowers, all of the festivities of R.E.M. Day, and of course new Morrissey and Flaming Lips albums. New Moz records always set the internets aflame with activity, so of course Ringleader of the Tormentors is no different. I think that the expectations for this one may be set a bit high (and initial reviews seem to indicate that it doesn't meet them) since we were all wowed by You Are the Quarry just a couple of years ago. That album certainly benefitted from 7-8 years of pent-up anticipation; we probably would've bought millions of a disc of Moz doing 12 reinterpretations of "Unhappy Birthday" at that point. So, now that's he's back into the studio album/tour/live album & DVD/recording cycle does more Morrissey mean that we'll settle for lesser quality songs? We'll see when the record makes it out there.
Until then, check out 5ives' "Five Terrible Fake Morrissey Songs." I don't care that they're fake; they're still the sort of titles that only the quiffed one could get away with recording.
Also, at Spin, finally an honest review of Guns 'n' Roses' long-delayed Chinese Democracy.
Now listening: Franz Ferdinand - "Sexy Boy"
