Warner Music set up a Twitter account for the Smiths yesterday and a lot of people flipped the fuck out thinking that their all-time fave band would be reuniting. The account is verified, but it's going to be used to "celebrate the history and music of the Smiths" rather than promote new material:
Please note this account is purely to celebrate the history and the music of The Smiths.

Unsurprisingly, Morrissey (who doesn't have Twitter) thinks that the Smiths' new web presence is stupid. He posted the following today on the fan webzine True To You:
Warner UK
A Smiths/Morrissey Google alerts/Twitter account has been opened by Warner UK. Morrissey would like to stress that this account has not been sanctioned by him and has no connection to him. Follow it at your peril.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
