All Moz, All The Time

The Moz news keeps coming fast and furious! First comes word that his appearance on the Kevin and Bean show is rumoured to be tomorrow AM. Here's hoping Foxy Jazz or someone can tape / MP3 the whole thing but I am sure it will be on the interweb posthaste after it's completion.

Anyone want to buy me an early present to celebrate information leafblower's one year birthday in April can just get me the 5 Show Morrissey Package from TicketBastard. Tell you what, if you buy me that, I'll cover the additional Ticketbastard charges. Deal?

Finally we have the GQ interview with Stephen Patrick himself, thus saving everyone the $4.50 for the print version. Some Highlights:

Do you get sick of people being obsessed with the cult of the Smiths?

...I get tired of being asked about re-formations, because there's really only one way to answer on a given question, and I feel I gave the answer 112 years ago, but people every day still ask me, and I can't understand why. Let lying dogs sleep is something I always say in reference to the Smiths.

In some ways the breakup was what should have happened, because you're fundamentally a solitary person.

Well, everything happens for a reason. I never imagined I'd be a solo artist. And now I couldn't imagine being part of a group.

Are you any less miserable now?

Yes. Absolutely. Yes, I am. But then, I think that really is because of age. When you're younger, you see the people who are in power and think they must have that position because of some degree of skill. And as you get older, you realize it's not true, that most people in those positions are absolutely inept. And this naturally makes you feel better about yourself.

Do you have a Nokia phone? If so, go get some Morrissey ringtones!

Coolfer will be happy to hear that, unlike the Kings, his boys The Darkness are blowing up! Also note the new address for Coolfer. Update those bookmarks people.

Dammit, Limp Bizkit almost blew up, literally. So close!

Side Note: I got the chance to actually meet the Mozzer in person during a brief ten second encounter when he was doing a DVD signing at the Union Square Virgin MegaStore. When I got up to the table, I asked him if he learned everything he knew from Limp Bizkit (something he was fond of saying during the tour he had just completed). He laughed and said "I'm still learning!" Awesome.

Josh Homme says the new QOTSA stuff he's written is "the best shit I’ve ever written". I hope so.

Today, in our "Don't We All Think The Money Used Here Could Be Put To Better Use (Especially Since The Jets Suck)" segment, we have a report that the Jets may get a sweetheart deal for their West Side stadium after all. The New York Jets are close to a deal for a $1.4 billion stadium on Manhattan's West Side. A source close to the negotiations, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Tuesday the deal, which faces opposition from many neighborhood residents, could be announced within a week. A source told ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli that the announcement could come as early as Thursday. The proposal also would expand the nearby Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. The Jets would spend $800 million on the stadium. The city and state would spend $600 million on a deck over the existing rail yards and a roof that would allow the stadium to be used as convention space. The plan would be partly financed by an increase in the city's hotel tax.
Just think New Yorkers, soon you might be paying for new stadiums for the Jets AND the Nets. How many titles have they won?

Isiah, Ainge: the path back to glory This just in, Isiah is delusional.

I don't believe for one second that Kobe is going to the Knicks this summer.

I was called a racist yesterday for my comments about Spike Lee. None of the major media outlets have picked up on this story yet (the comments, not me being a racist) PS - He's backpedaling on the whole thing.

As I am a racist, I will not comment on the proposed study to find out why there are so few african americans playing professional baseball.

Is Duke the favorite for the NCAA title now? Good news from Durham, Daniel Ewing and Shavlik Randolph are 100% healthy for the first time this season.

Coach K to Josh Howard: Dude, who are you kidding, go pro.

Who will win the battle for your living room? The PC or the gaming console?
