New Morrissey – I’m Throwing My Arms Around Paris

Click on the turntable on the left to listen to a continuous stream of music featured on Pretty Much Amazing - updated every day. For more, you can check out the Best Songs of 2012.

Here is some momentously depressing post-Christmas music for you!

The Moz has finally dished on the first single of his new album Years Of Refusal (out February 17th), after nearly a year and a half of shitty YouTube cinematography. The studio version of “I’m Throwing My Arms Around Paris” is just as great as everyone expected it to be — well worth the wait… Catch on his 2009 US Tour, which hits the road in late February.

Thank you Luis, nice one! I’d just like to say how natural it feels to hear a new Morrissey single. We really are very privileged!

Better quality than the live footage out there though. Can’t for the single and album.

Where is a good place to start with Morrissey/The Smiths? Which albums/songs? Is that question even answerable?

Jackie, start with the first smiths record and go in order. It is well worth you time. Then go to Morrissey. I promise you will not regret it!

I agree with Will. There are VERY few bands who will reward you for committing to their entire catalogue of music. The best place to start though, would be “The Queen is Dead”. But certainly go through every record!

their right I kinda heard the smiths growing up from my dad wouldn’t say he was a BIG fan but enough to buy the records the first time I really got into morrissey was back in 2004 when I first heard First Of The Gang To Die loved him ever since been to see him live and going again with my dad he enjoyed it as much as me but yeh start from the very beginning and work your way through every song
