    Moz's interview style/preferences

    Having just seen the latest of Moz's round of interviews to promote the YOR album (i.e. on TMF with Zane Lowe tonight, Fri nite/Sat morn, 21 Feb), I've got a couple of comments. Apols if they seem obvious to others. He deals much better on radio than on TV. The interview just now on TMF...

    Moz on TMF - that's Channel 21 tonight, 00.25

    I know this is posted as a news item under 'To whom it may concern' but I htought it needed making a bit more obvious - 00.25 Sat morning (i.e. in just over 20 mins time) it's advertised as Zane Lowe speaking to Moz on TMF channel, number 21 on my Freeview TV here in UK. Apols for...

    Manchester - Sat 23rd - 2 tkts required

    Hi I want to buy 2 tickets for the 23 May gig. My plea is no different to everyone else's, I guess, but just adding to the ever-growing list accumulating on this section. I have nothing to exchange or offer, I'm afraid, other than my feelings of despair. Had 2 meetings on the Friday...

    Mary Margaret O'Hara piece - BBC Radio 4

    A five minute piece was on the 'Today' show at about 8.50am this morning including an interview with the singer. Moz was mentioned as one of the artists that she has worked with, and close attention was given to her distinctive and probably unorthodox approach to making music, implying an...

    Who nicked my 'Saint Morrissey'?

    While at a reasonably smart hotel on Cornwall, England last week, I left my 'Saint Morrissey' book, along with a couple of magazines and newspapers, on a computer workstation while I went outside for a cigarette. Came back - 5 mins tops - and the book was gone. Slightly annoyed, you could...

    Stuck in a lift with Moz - wot to say?

    OK, it's not much of a question, but Karen Taylor of BBC TV's 'Touch Me, I'm Karen Taylor' and formerly of ITV's 'Sketch Show' of a few years ago was asked in a local newspaper interview, who she'd most like to be stuck in a lift with, and she came up with our man. Trouble is, she then said...

    Smiths Indeed, Blackpool - 29 Feb

    Anybody else here going? It's a double-biller with the Clone Roses, and Clint Boon DJ-ing (or whatever the modern term is for 'playing the music between the bands')

    Moz's retirement?!!

    At the risk of upsetting people or being deluged with abuse, I'm making this post. At the Doncaster gig last week, a fan told me that he had heard Moz is so disillusioned with events this year that he is seriously considering retiring. Can this be so? Has anyone else heard this? I...

    IBEH lyric - last year's thread

    Can anyone signpost me back to last year's thread on a discussion about the lyrics of Irish Blood, English Heart, please? I think that the initial question posed was about Moz's implied link between Cromwell and the 'royal line' and then quite a bit of the thread became, as you'd expect...

    Doncaster gig - 2 tkts for sale

    2 tickets for sale at face value, anyone? I've realised I now can't make the gig due to family commitments. If you're interested, PM me with your contact details. Genuine seller - as, hopefully, my user details will testify. Even if you don't want the tkts yourself, please put the word...

    Smyths in Bradford anyone? - Fri 6 July

    Anyone planning on going to see The Smyths in Bradford on Friday 6 July? As well as SarahT making the trip, Uncleskinny and I are planning on going down to the Love Apple that night (now there's a potential double-entendre if ever there was one!). The band are well worth seeing, as we've...

    Modest Mouse interview - 'Independent' newspaper

    Apols if this has been posted elsewhere - I've had a quick look around. Interview in last week's Independent newspaper in UK with Isaac Brock of Modest Mouse, with references to/comments from J Marr. Link below. http://enjoyment.independent.co.uk/music/features/article2554621.ece

    Closet Marxists - Bill & Ben, the Flowerpot Men?

    S'pose this is a long shot, but did anyone see tonight's (around 6.45pm) children's BBC TV show on CBeebies (I have young children - honest!), with Bill & Ben, the Flowerpot Men? I'm sure that there was a picture of Karl Marx in the background 2 or 3 times. If so, surely proof enough for...

    TQID on Radio 4's "Today" programme

    Just caught the back end of a piece on the Today programme this morning, and it mentioned The Smiths with TQID playing as backing. The piece appeared to be about attempts to save some of Salford's housing, and the Lads' Club was mentioned, with the manager there interviewed, I think. The...

    The Smyths - 4 Feb, Leeds

    Just wondered how many from this site are planning on going to The Roscoe in Leeds on 4 Feb? There seems to be a fair old contingent in West Yorkshire who come on the site now. Okay, Sunday nite is not the best to have good old knees-up, but I'll still be there and it would be good to meet...

    Oye Esteban - disabling region-lock on DVDs

    As this DVD is only seemingly available on Region 1 (US) DVD models, have people successfully disabled the region-locks on their own models, or has anyone had problems? There's plenty of free guidance on the internet about how to unlock various DVD players - I just wondered if anyone had...

    Scoring on main site - what's the purpose?

    Sorry if I'm a bit dim (ok - there's no 'if' about it, is there?), but what's the purpose of the scoring system on the main site? The Russell Brand thread carried a few postings calling for others to be 'marked down' or whatever. Are there any consequences with the scoring, or is it...

    The Clash: true to their roots, or stadium sell-outs?

    A Don Letts-produced documentary on The Clash was repeated on British TV again last night. For any fans of the band it was a welcome chance to again see interviews and gig footage with the band. I think it was made a couple of years (perhaps a bit longer?) before Joe Strummer's sad and...

    Request: Mastermind TV show + Uncleskinny

    Anyone got a copy of this I could get hold of? (Any format considered - hope that don't sound desperate!) I know I could ask the man himself for a copy but I just thought someone else may have it (plus I always seem to be bothering him for something or other, I thought I'd give him a break)...

    Dead or Alive: An Evening with 6 guests

    Apols if this has been done already: If one could choose 6 people - dead or alive - to have dinner and an evening's conversation with, who would they be? (Moz + any band members excluded, I'm afraid) No particular reason why it's 6, it just seems a simple number. Oscar Wilde (obviously)...
