When Big Joan Sets Up 18th July – Disarming Man

Morrissey returns to our grateful lug-holes this week with his trademarked brand of quiet sedition rendered in a voice that you could mix with warm milk on a winter’s night. Three tracks from the new LP “World Peace Is None Of Your Business” were scattered artfully amongst the tunes on this week’s programme.

From true-to-you.net 18th July 2014,

Morrissey is #2 in the UK with World Peace Is None Of Your Business. He is just over one thousand sales behind Ed Sheeran who is clinging on to the number one position.
Please support Morrissey by purchasing World Peace Is None Of Your Business in the next few days in an effort to oust Ed Sheeran. Thank you.

You know what to do. We’re the A-Team now.
