Moz & Merv XMas Duet -- Kilborn's new campaign
On The Late Late Show last night with Craig Kilborn, Kilborn made his latest public courting of Morrissey to appear on his show. His gimmick this time was to get Moz to appear with 70's talk/variety show and modern game show creator Merv Griffin. He suggested they do a duet for the holidays; an updated version of Little Drummer Boy, ala Bowie/Crosby from Bing Crosby's old Christmas special from the mid 70's. Seems like Morrissey wouldn't want to do something his old hero had already done, but it will be fun watching Kilborn do skits about it in the coming months.

Last night on the Craig Kilborn show an interesting thing happened. As you know, Craig Kilborn is a huge fan of Morrissey's and has had him on the show to perform before. Craig is friends with Merv Griffei which is a big time "producer" of many various things. Craig Kilborn showed a picture of Morrissey and then Merv Griffin and said he wants to try to get the two on the show to sing a duet. He mentioned Merv Griffin has a beautiful singing voice. He told his producer to set it up. He said that Merv should not be a problem but Morrissey was a wild card.

Late Night On Downing Street
Newsnight (a late night political discussion show on BBC 2) last night paid homage to Iain Duncan Smith the former leader of the opposition who was dramatically sacked last night. The homage consisted of playing a montage of Mr Smiths finest moments backed with a smiths soundtrack which started with "Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I want" followed by "How Soon Is Now?" and finishing with "Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me".

Was watching "Newsnight" yesterday on the BBC, and it was understandably concentrating on Ian Duncan Smith's forced resignation as leader of the UK's main opposition party, the Conservatives. To conclude the program, they had a picture montage of his political career, with pleasing Smiths musical backdrop, playing clips from "How Soon Is Now?", "Please, Please Please, Let Me Get What I Want", "Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me" and "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now". Don't know if IDS is a Smiths/Moz fan, but there was a very funny shot of him playing football!

"Glamorous Glue" on MTV's MADE
The episode was about a girl who wanted to become homecoming queen but was kind of an outsider and lacked self-confidence. At one point "Glamorous Glue" was playing in the background. I found this mildy interesting/suprising because I didn't think MTV in the US really cared about Morrissey or even considered his existence anymore.

  • I love that Kilborn is a friend to Morrissey. If Craig likes Moz, then I like Craig.

  • That's not Johnny Marr pictured, it’s football manager Guus Hiddink (PSV Eindhoven, formerly of the Dutch and South Korean national sides).

  • It is ironic that they used Please Please Please, because it was used as the soundtrack to a highly successful Labour Party Broadcast during the 1997 General Election Campaign, along with (gulp) D Ream.

  • That's what they could call their world tour! There's always been rumors about Merv and his "house boys". That guy is filthy rich.
