Jukebox Jury writes:
The 3rd Manchester v Cancer gig was held at the MEN Arena, Manchester on Saturday 23rd February.
At the end of the night, after the scheduled bands had played, for the finale, Badly Drawn Boy (aka Damon Gough) was joined on stage with Peter Hook (Joy Division / New Order), Andy Rourke and David Potts (Monaco) and a few other musicians and performed four songs - the first of which was The Smiths 'Please Please Please, Let Me Get What I Want', followed by a new Badly Drawn Boy song, then Joy Division's 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' (dedicated to Tony Wilson) and lastly, John Lennon's 'Instant Karma', where Northside's singer, Dermo, also joined them on stage to sing along too, which I was well chuffed with as I had got the bus down to the gig with Dermo and his girlfriend late afternoon! youtube link:

FYI, my other musical hero, Lloyd Cole, has made available via his website, www.lloydcole.com, a collection of various unheard mixes from over the years, called "Some Mixes Are Rougher Than Others". As I'm perpetually attempting to bridge the Commotions-Smiths abyss, this Queen Is Dead reference is x-marks-the-spot gold for me. File under "slow news week", I suppose.

An anonymous person sends the link:

Confirmed! Swedish Vampire Film LET THE RIGHT ONE IN Coming To North America! - Twitch

I’ve been hearing rumblings of this from pretty much the moment the final frame passed through the gate at the European Film Market and it has just been confirmed that Magnet Releasing - the new genre arm of Magnolia Pictures which is also handling Time Crimes, Mirage Man and other Twitch favorites - has bought all North American rights to stellar Swedish vampire film Let The Right One In. Yes, there is a theatrical release in the film’s future. Read on for details and to check the trailer.

Morrissey could have replied differently
