Johan de Witt writes:That's How People Grow Up has entered the UK Top 40 at number 14 today. A few places higher than his last 2 singles entered (16 and 17). Not bad considering there was only one (cd) version available and no new songs on the flipside. ---

Oh Glenn writes:On Friday 8th February's episode of the British soap opera Emmerdale, The Smiths were mentioned.
It was in a scene involving a teenage girl (Victoria), a boy she fancies whose name escapes me, and Victoria's brother (kind of) Daz.
*********
DAZ: Don't listen to Victoria, she has Girls Aloud on her iPod!
VICTORIA: Don't listen to him! So what other music do you like?
BOY: Well, I like the Killers, Foo Fighters, and some older stuff too - have you heard of The Smiths?
VICTORIA: Yeah, I love them! We should go and see them sometime!
DAZ and the BOY looked amused.
VICTORIA: What's so funny!?
DAZ: They split up about 20 years ago!
*******
Always nice to hear The Smiths and Morrissey mentioned when you least expect it.
By the way, for viewers in the UK with ITV2, the Emmerdale omnibus will I'm quite sure be on at some point this week, so maybe you can catch the Smiths mention again!

cocu writes:According to the TV listings Mozzer is going to be 'tracked down' by Tim Samuels and asked questions from 20 years ago. Here is an extract from the bbc website:
"Tim Samuels tracks down his childhood hero Morrissey, and plays him the tapes from his first interview with the star, recorded 20 years ago in Manchester when Tim was 13 and writing for the Vegetarian Society magazine. How will his hero worship go down?"
The Culture Show is on BBC2 at 6.55pm and is usually presented by the lovely Lauren Laverne, who interviewed the man when he performed at the V-Festival in 2006. They also did an interview with him in relation to being in the top three of 'the greatest living Brit'. Could be an interesting show? ---
SimmyOnion_Moz writes:After flicking through tv listings it appears Morrissey is on the above show. The listing says "..Tim Samuels will be making a personal dream come true by interviewing his childhood hero, Morrissey.!
The show goes out at 6:55pm on BBC2 this Saturday.
