Ok, now this is pretty funny or sad depending on how you look at it, yes, once you have a hit song the record company is going to expect you to keep churning them out, but come on try and have some depth in what you're putting out there, I wonder who came up with this idea to put these songs back to back, listen and hear what I'm talking about...

Ok, what surprises me is not what Morrissey says in this article , but that there aren't more artists that are saying similar things, what happened to all the loudmouth singers of years gone by, you know a ton of them are probably still thinking it?

When announcing the death of ex-President Ronald Regan, he added a note about wishing it was George W. Bush instead. The singer's camp didn't deny the claim, saying that Morrissey was simply excercising his political views.

Here is the article from Side-Line.com as to what Covenent had to say about it: Covenant wants to make the definite EBM album: "It was actually something of a provocation, half joke, half serious. But I do think that a lot of interesting reinterpretations of classic EBM has surfaced the last few years: Terence Fixmer, Thomas P Heckman, Sven Vath, DJ Hell and also scene bands. And in good Covenant tradition we have our ears deep in this sound, probing and scanning, picking up ideas that we can use to evolve our own special sound. Of c
