Morrissey signs to Polydor

Though there was speculation about a self–released full length, Morrissey has opted to sign with Polydor for his next full length. He explained why to NME:

If they (Radiohead) think that can work that that's a wonderful world. And yes, you can look at record companies and you can easily assess that they've been ripping people off for years and years and years. The whole process is a gigantic rip off. But then there are people like me who need to be institutionalised... and I don't mean in an asylum!

Believing that several thousand people are working to get your music heard is more inspiring to me than anything else

Morrissey released Ringleader Of The Tormentors last year.
