    Thanks Uncle, good show.

    30 years ago today...

    Same here, over in the rural eastern backwaters of the Netherlands. Only regret I have is I didn't get to see them play live -- they played the Netherlands only once, in 1984, when I was all of 12 years old, and in an Amsterdam suburb at that.

    "Smith vs. Smith: Reading the Morrissey and Marr Memoirs" by Simon Goddard - Pitchfork

    True. I was also somewhat disappointed from the blandness of some anecdotes. The ones we know from Fletcher and Rogan where you come across the bit and think oh yeah, this is where the rep punches the wall and then it's left out and the story feels neutred, non-committal.

    "Smith vs. Smith: Reading the Morrissey and Marr Memoirs" by Simon Goddard - Pitchfork

    As always, not sure if I missed somebody else posting this, so apologies if I did. Goddard compares Autobiography with Set the Boy Free and comes out in favour of the first, mainly because of style. And it might just be that some hurt shines through from Johnny's "all existing Smiths books are...

    TTY: FORTHCOMING SMITHS 45 - Body-art / tattoo by Sam Esty Rayner

    Let's just be thankful this cr@p will not be on the product itself. Oh boy, what an eventful few days. First the excitement of a new Smiths release, then the (inevitable?) SER comedown. Trump has nothing on Moz in the world-baffling stakes.

    Phil Anselmo: Morrissey is the greatest truth-teller - Metal Hammer

    In all genres of music there are both racists and throwbacks. Sadly. Doesn't mean all metal is vile, though.

    Mike Joyce teams up with Salford Lad's Club for new Morrissey T-shirt

    Not to mention the other John Maher (of Buzzcocks) :-) Morris' drumming, especially on the Joy Division albums, is great, that nervous metronome drumming on "Disorder"...

    Mike Joyce teams up with Salford Lad's Club for new Morrissey T-shirt

    Over here in The Netherlands, you cannot just use somebody's photograph without permission, even if you took the photo yourself (portretrecht, or 'portrait rights'). But then we're a civil-law country, no idea how this would work in a common-law jurisdiction. But I cannot imagine the personality...

    Johnny Marr opens new £8m Brentwood College

    Good work, decent bloke.

    Manics want Moz again

    Yes, but AFAICS only on covers of his own songs performed by his (then) friends: "Jeane" by Sandy Shaw and "Let Me Kiss You" by Nancy Sinatra. Both feature his backing vocals, but with instruments being played by members of his band (at the time) and the record being released on the same label...

    Johnny Marr plays ''Last Night I Dreamt...'' with The Last Shadow Puppets in Manchester

    The Smiths saluted in Mojo magazine (Aug. 2016)

    The article on the Steven film is quite insightful though. Seems they got Billy Duffy on board, who apparently remembers everything about the Nosebleeds. And there will be a scene where the Nosebleeds perform. So will we finally hear some of the Morrissey/Duffy songs performed? :-D :-O

    The Smiths saluted in Mojo magazine (Aug. 2016)

    Actually, I thought that would be the case with the one that looked liked Hatful of Hollow. But no, they chose to fill it with second-league weak indie cr@p of the kind Marr professed to hate with a vengeance. It's called How Soon Is Now? btw (of course) and the tracks are OK'ish. (Don't know if...

    TTY: Harrods, London

    But it is #23 in the rock&pop biographies (#23 in Books > Biography > Film, Television & Music > Music > Rock & Pop ). Could be worse, only two places below Patti Smith's M Train. (And yes, there are more than 23 entries in the category ;-) .) Now, in related news - 30 June is creeping close...

    TTY: Harrods, London

    Heh, did the same the other week at my local record store, putting their vinyl copies of Strangeways and Louder than Bombs on the display ledge ;-) That is, assuming the books behind the one at front are all copies of Autobio and the display wasn't engineered ;-) And books on sale aren't the...

    The Smiths saluted in Mojo magazine (Aug. 2016)

    Ha! I think basically it's a matter of being diplomatic, allowing everyone to think "their" favorite Smiths-related book is the one exception. In all honesty, I'd go with anonymous and say it's Goddard's Songs That Saved Your Life as it has all the song-related details and nearly nothing of the...

    "The Queen Is Dead" turns 30 - articles on Pitchfork, NME

    So do I. The video was more generic fact-hashing. Not much by way of new finds -- but then again, the album has been pored over for 30 years now, nearly everything that can be said about the album has already been said.
