Greatest Hits...From My Last Two Albums


Today I learned that KUPS will be receiving a copy of Morrissey's new greatest hits album. The collection has been out in the UK since February and is now being released in the US.

There was a contest in January for Moz enthusiasts to send pictures representing their devotion and have them placed in adverts for the release.
The questions included:

HOW DO YOU SHOW YOUR DEVOTION TO MORRISSEY?

HAVE YOU ANY MORRISSEY TATTOOS? HAVE YOU EVER GRAFFITI'D MORRISSEY'S NAME ON A WALL? DO YOU OWN AMAZING MORRISSEY MEMORABILIA?

WE'RE LOOKING FOR IMAGES OF YOUR DEVOTION FOR POSSIBLE INCLUSION IN THE NEW MORRISSEY GREATEST HITS ALBUM ADVERT.

PLEASE SEND HIGH-QUALITY JPG IMAGES TO: morrisseyadvert[at]googlemail.com

BE QUICK, WE MUST RECIEVE ALL ENTRIES BY 19 JANUARY 2008.


I was not too impressed with the Greatest Hits line-up:

01 First of the Gang to Die

02 In the Future When All's Well

03 I Just Want to See the Boy Happy

04 Irish Blood, English Heart

05 You Have Killed Me

06 That's How People Grow Up

07 Everyday Is Like Sunday

08 Redondo Beach

09 Suedehead

10 The Youngest Was the Most Loved

11 The Last of the Famous International Playboys

12 The More You Ignore Me, the Closer I Get

13 All You Need Is Me

14 Let Me Kiss You

15 I Have Forgiven Jesus


While I do agree that his version of "Redondo Beach" is the greatest thing since mp3 players, most of these tracks are from his last two albums. I think it's kind of lame, even for Mozzer, to make a collection out of two recent albums that have not been forgotten by anyone who would actually spend money for this.

If you'd like to read more, and who could resist, I got all my information from here.

I guess the worst part is that Ringleader wasn't a very good album at all... and that picture of Mozzer has to be at least a decade old.
