There's a full page ad for the MSG concert in today's NY Times (Apr. 22). Looks like they used a picture of Morrissey from the last time he appeared at the Garden.

Here is a link to an article in The Daily Evergreen, in which the author is both relieved and appalled that good Morrissey tickets were still to be had at the upcoming Spokane show.

Excerpt:
Imagine my ecstasy when two tickets in the orchestra popped up as available. Then imagine my absolute horror at the fact that this legend of a man – nay, a musical god – still hasn’t sold out his Spokane show. Come on, Washington. What are you all thinking? The Hollywood Bowl has sold almost all 17,000 tickets, while there are still primo seats at Spokane’s INB Performing Arts Center, which seats only 2,700.

Proof copies of a book called 'Let The Right One In', by Swedish author John Ajvide Lindqvist, have just been distributed to UK booksellers. The novel is being described as a dark, comic love story between a vampire and a human.

Aside from the title being taken from a Morrissey song, the inside cover contains the quote: "I never wanted to kill, I am not naturally evil, such things I do just to make myself more attractive to you; have I failed?"

I found a review from theage.com.au, but I can't get the link to work, so here's a snippet:

"It would be a very bold move to declare the book of the year with the first Easter egg barely scoffed, but Let the Right One In by John Ajvide Lindqvist is a book to inspire such boldness.

Oskar Eriksson is pretty much your average Stockholm schoolboy - sure, he gets bullied at school and has developed a novel way of combating his resulting incontinence but, other than that, he's pretty normal. OK, he does collect press clippings about serial killers and is fascinated by hunting knives and the damage they could theoretically inflict on his enemies, but in these enlightened times, what's so unusual about that?

But then his life takes an unexpected turn when a vampire moves in next door.

Named after a song by Morrissey - Let the Right One Slip In - this is the debut by Swedish stand-up comic, playwright and screen writer John Ajvide Lindqvist. As you would expect with such a background, not only is the book extraordinarily well crafted with a tight narrative and perfectly drawn characters, but it is cinematic in scope and, at the same time as being both a grisly horror-filled mystery and a very touching and human love story, it also boasts wonderfully dry, black humour."
