They SHOULD Have Been Bigger Than The Beatles
On this unhappy anniversary what do I stumble upon whilst looking up TV Personalities lyrics, but this:

http://www.televisionpersonalities.co.uk/download.htm

MP3's of Moz AND Weller slagging off Dan Treacy and the TVP's. I knew there was some reason I liked them, them being the Television Personalities. Also up for perusal is Dan's glowing tribute to Morrissey called Another Rainy Day In Manchester (must have touched a nerve) [lyrics] and Dan making some onstage mischief, calling Paul Weller from Belgium. That Swell Maps cover is hot shit too, by the by.

God bless the Television Personalities and all who sail with them.

    I recall a few comments made by Dan about Morrissey during this recording, but I always thought it was an expression of his admiration. I specifically recall him insterting Morrissey's name in a line of their song "Picture of Dorian Gray." I'm now thinking it was done with tongue in cheeck. Anyone have any info on their relationship?

        Does anyone know what Television Play they are refering to the radio snippet? It's not Threads is it?

          Wasn't there a Television Personalities song on one of Morrissey's intermission tapes played at his shows after the opening act and before he takes the stage?

          Does anybody have any info on what has happened to him? I've read he went missing somewhere in the late 90s. What's happening now? And what's with TVPs themselves?
