Two Moz-related items in this month's issue of Select magazine (UK).

1) In a feature on The Deftones
:
He’s [singer Chino] still got one ambition left to realise. “One day I’m going to record a Morrissey track. Oh, it will happen,” he says enthusiastically. “Maybe ‘Will Never Marry’, it’s such a soothing song.”
2) In a feature on trance DJ Paul Van Dyk:
“Imagine it,” he recalls today, “12 years old, doing your homework in grey Eisenhüttenstadt, in grey East Berlin, the radio on in the background. Then suddenly this thing comes on, and I’m like, ‘Wow, what’s this?’”

‘This’ was The Smiths – ‘Western bourgeois decadence’ personified…Paul tracked down an English-German dictionary and obsessively began to translate Morrissey’s words, teaching himself English in the process…“For years I took ‘Hand In Glove’ literally, and I thought Morrissey only liked girls!”

      Deftones live cover... back in the day (Score:1)
      Back before the Deftones hit it "big" they played "please please please" (in whatever style they are, I don't really listen) in their live shows here in and around sac... and if I remember right, they had a smiths cover as a b-side on one of their early indie 7"'s... why I remember this, who knows...

        Deftones Demo (Score:0)
        For any who are intrested, Deftones already have released a Smiths cover "Please, please, please let me get what I want" back on an old demo cd they released in 94. It was a studio recording and sounds great, if you are into thier sound that is. I think it is very honorable of Chino (singer from Deftones) to cover artists who had some kind of influence on him artistically. Being within the same age group as he is, listening to that song reminds me of my teenage years, skating around California streets on my board or lashing out with senseless vandalism in hopes it would release me from my angst. If that helps you understand why the Deftones chose to cover Morrissey and honor him, then I am glad to help. For those that do not respect their musical talent however, you really need to broaden your horizons.
