"Half A Person" played in Aylesbury, photos from the show
Just a rumor: there may be
some more dates this year after Vegas.
From issy and
Jeane:
Last
night we were treated to 'Swallow' again and, would you
believe, 'Half A Person'! What a night...
Photos from the show (4 total)
from Ed Moss:
I am a
professional photographer and through my job I was lucky
enough to photograph Moz at Aylesbury on the 6th December.
I'm setting up a website in the next couple of weeks with
lots of pix from the concert on it (be patient as I'm new to
the internet).
Enclosed are
4 pics which I hope you will post on the m-solo
website as I got lots of requests from fans for pics.

Morrissey on the run?
From Michael Ferry:
A friend of mine recently heard from an apparently
reliable source that the police came to the Galway gig with
a warrant for Morrissey's arrest, but he had left the
building by their time of arrival. Can anybody shed any
light on this story or is it indeed a load of hooey?

Cemetry Gates no more?
From Scott Krajewski:
Yes, it's
true. Cemetry Gates as you've known it is no more.
It's been reborn as CemetryGates.com.
In case you haven't been to Cemetry Gates, let me tell you a
little about it.
After five years of sharing information on Morrissey and The
Smiths, it finally has a domain name to call its own. Once
the only website, and thus the first, Cemetry Gates has
evolved to find a niche in the rapidly growing space of
fan-run websites. From starting as the only place to find
any Moz information on the web, it's become a site that
provides unique content (FAQ, MozGuide UK, audio and video
downloads), maintains a long list of places to Shop online,
and directs fans to other unique sites like itself.
Cemetry Gates has had a long relationship with Recordings
Unlimited. It all started with hosting a text version of its
catalog online back in the early days of this site.
Recordings Unlimited has since grown into a great online
store selling many collectibles. To ring in this holiday
season and to celebrate CemetryGates.com's birth, Recordings
Unlimited will be hosting an online auction that will be
accessible only through CemetryGates.com. Many interesting
items will be up for auction.
The auction is set to open Friday, December 10. Go to
CemetryGates.com and click on the auction link to learn more
and enter.
I'd like to thank all the visitors I've had over the last
five years and I appreciate all the feedback messages I've
received. You Morrissey and Smiths fans are a special bunch
of people and I look forward to providing something extra
online for you for the next five years!

Webmaster, CemetryGates.com

"Morrissey Gets A Job" coloring book mentioned in SF Weekly (Oct. 13 - 19)
From Brian Brooks:
...thanks
for the exposure, your web site led to a write
up in the SF Weekly which set me on way to international
unsuccess.
Excerpt:
..."That clip
art's already sitting there," he says, explaining his
creative process. "I feel bad for most of the clip art
when I look at it, because it's not going to be used for any
good purposes." Some of the results are completely
absurd: The Frank Zappa Coloring Book simply inserts
the late guitar god's mustachioed face onto bodies that are
hiking, playing pool, and skiing Or, even better, there's Morrissey
Gets a Job, which places the depressive Smiths singer in
workplace clip art of employees shuffling through papers,
talking in cubicles, staring at charts, or scowling at each
other; the captions come from the Smiths tune "Heaven
Knows I'm Miserable Now" ("I was looking for a
job/ And then I found a job ...").
Original news item: "'Morrissey Gets a Job' - a
coloring book" - Sept. 13, 1999

Morrissey's typewriter on auction
At Yahoo! Auctions, closes
Dec. 12:
Morrissey's
personal typewriter from before The Smiths which he
used to type many letters to pen pals, Smiths lyrics, and
the signed letter about the typewriter which comes with the
typewriter. Originally auctioned off at Christy's in London
back in 1984 but I happened to come across the owner at a
record fair in London almost 4 years ago. He just happened
to want to sell it. The typewriter comes with a carrying
case, the original Christy's auction booklet which lists the
typewriter as well as an autographed t-shirt of Our
Morrissey holding the typewriter. A one of a kind item.

Moz necklaces for sale
From Daniela:
I finally
got up the nerve to splurge and get myself to Vegas for both
shows. In order to try and make some of the money back that
I've spent, I came up with the brilliant idea of making
these MOZ necklaces. They're made primarily of Hemetite,
with accents of either Lapis Lazuli (a sharp denim blue),
Garnet (a burgundy color) or Lavender Amethyst (a light
purple), and will be available in 16", 18" or
20". The letters on the bottom are pewter. I'm asking
for $10 each plus $1 for envelope and postage or $3 for
priority mail (sorry, I don't know yet how much should be
sent for overseas orders). They are really worth more, as
these are real stones, but I wanted to make them affordable
for everyone. People interested can e-mail me at [email protected],
and I will send the address to send cash or money order. I
will also send a scan of matching earrings available for an
extra $5 to anyone who's interested. I will also be selling
them at the Vegas show both days, so to anyone who will be
there, please buy one !! :)
