Morrissey

The BBC's John Wilson had the rare opportunity to interview Morrissey yesterday. They discussed the legacy of the Smiths and talked about Morrissey's solo work. Morrissey also explained why song titles are more important than the songs themselves, nixed the idea of a Smiths reunion, and revealed he's written his autobiography. According to Moz, the autobiography is in the "redrafting" stage, and may be out as early as next year. Listen to the entire 13 minute interview here.

Morrissey will release the Very Best of Morrissey in the U.K. next Monday. The collection features 18 audio tracks and a bonus DVD with 11 promotional videos. There is no North American release date as of yet, however it will be available as an import May 3rd. Click here to check out the entire tracklisting.
