Calling all Morrissey fans (urgent help needed)

2007-02-17T18:12:49Z

Last chance to download Morrissey into the charts

As some of you may know Morrissey fans over at Morrissey–solo.com have been organizing a campaign to try and get a track from Morrissey’s latest album ‘Ringleader of the tormentors’, the beautifully haunting, ‘Life is a Pigsty’ into the charts.

We’ve been downloading ‘Life is a Pigsty’ all this week but time is running out and for this to work we need more people to get involved.

So please if you have a spare 79p please download ‘Life is a pigsty’ and help us make this dream a reality.

The chart countdown begins at 4pm on Sunday so there’s less than 24 hours left.

We need one final effort from everyone. If you haven’t downloaded ‘Pigsty’ yet then please do and if you already have, and can please download it again.

Non-uk fans can also take part. For more information go to http://www.getmozinthecharts.vze.com/

Please do all you can to help? Your hero needs you

Please, Please, Please let us get what we want this time. (You see what I did there)

Thank you

Hi everyone, just a little update on the poll. It’s really close. It looks like it’s between Meat is Murder, national front disco and life is a pigsty. There’s only a 1% separating them so if you haven’t yet voted please do, every vote counts.

I’ll keep you updated

Thanks

Download Morrissey into the top 40 experiment

2007-01-14T13:20:53Z

We’re doing an experiment over on Morrissey-solo.
We’re going to try and download a smiths or Morrissey song into the top 40. It could work because of the new downloading rule.

We’ve got a poll going at the moment to decide on which song.

For this to work we need as much fans to get involved as possible so please vote and take part.

question?

2006-06-28T17:08:02Z

ok forgive me if we all know the answer to this, buuuut, you know not bitter but bored the Johnny panic song that became irish blood.. well how did it become irish blood, did Alain just think Morrissey would like the tune, or did Morrissey know it originally or what? I seem to be suffering brain drain today!!!
Anyway any info will be cool Also there seems to be another band with the name johnny panic hmmm.
thanks Karin :)

Red Lightning Lyrics!

Thanks to Alain helping me, the lyrics to 'Something out of Nothing' are now up at www.alainmatters.com. You can see them here! It is very cool of Alain to do this, the next song to go up will be 'Crushed'.

Now that the lyrics to that song are up, there are no excuses not to sing along!

Alain fatty post

2006-05-14T18:50:03Z

So... our young Alain is the next one in my modest line of Fatty screencap posts. I know that 1 1/2 hours of intensive screencap-taking may seem stressful, but some things just have to be done :P

Pics of other band members on morrissey_shot, boz_lovers_plus and gary_day_ly. Not sure where to post Spenny's yet. Any ideas?

PS: I have no idea why the last two ones turned out to be so big :o

It may take a wee bit to buffer, but trust me it is worth is, as this is my favourite Alain Whyte song!
