  • Please could the dvd compilers bear in mind that Swallowneck has an absolute stock of rare footage in the velvet vaults and he wants minimal duplication of material?

  • A while a go i bought an excellent DVD from ebay called 'pasolini is me'. It's quite rare but well good I'd recomend it, and every now and then another one pops up on there.

  • would feature this:

    1 introduction films by 5 fans, some famous and some not, looking at why they love Morrissey and the Smiths - it can be a simple talk, a demonstration, a tour of their bedroom, a reading of a poem or painting.. anything really.. each film lasting 5 minutes

    2 snippets of smiths-era live performances, especially rare and high quality images interspersed with interviews and reviews, comments by observers etc.

    3 the story of Morrissey's solo career, from collapse of the Smiths to his move to Rome, concluding with an interview with Morrissey himself

    4 clips from each of Morrissey's solo tours, from Wolverhampton to Wembley

    5 A one-off 'greatest hits' style gig at an intimate venue with fans allowed free entry, as long as they wear a Morrissey solo tour t-shirt

    the ideal venue would be a freezing northern town, with rumours of the free one-off show circulated in advance and a set-list as follows:

    The Teachers Are Afraid
    Handsome Devil
    The Operation
    Panic
    First of the Gang to Die
    Reel Around The Fountain
    Seasick Yet Still Docked
    I Will See You In Far-Off Places
    You're Gonna Need Someone On Your Side
    TLOTFIPBs
    Lifeguard Sleeping, Girl Drowning
    I've Changed My Plea
    The Queen Is Dead

    encore: GF in a Coma, IBEH

    finally, we see images of grey, bleak Manchester, lots of rain, shots of places featured in smiths songs and the sound of 'Well I Wonder' play us out.

    Sublime.

    PS I am a gay male aged around 48 and a lot of people I meet instantly say, "hang on, have I see you on TV before?" to which I reply, "No, I am not the writer, wit and popular singer/songwriter Steven Patrick Morrissey, born 1959 in Manchester of irish-English parents..." to which they reply, "No, I was thinking of those fat hairy bikers who do the cookery breakfast show on ITV on Saturday mornings..."
