Morrissey interview by Gal Uchovsky in Time Out Tel Aviv
posted by davidt on Thursday July 31 2008, @11:00AM

Or more correctly, some interview bits and mostly Gal Uchovsky's memoirs from the interview, which are not that different from the Lior Ashkenazi ones published last week. Here.

It's in Hebrew. Translation in 5 parts posted in the forums.

The Smiths referenced in Pitchfork's PAS/CAL album review

Torr Leonard sends the link:

PAS/CAL: I Was Raised on Matthew, Mark, Luke & Laura [Le Grand Magistery; 2008]
Rating: 7.7

PAS/CAL are quick to please, but they sure take their sweet time revealing the full extent of their pleasures. The Detroit septet had an indie pop hit off their very first EP, 2003's The Handbag Memoirs, with sunny, urbane "The Bronze Beached Boys (Come on Let's Go)" eventually soundtracking a Saturn advertisement. Two more EPs, five years, and countless delayed release dates later, PAS/CAL's full-length debut, I Was Raised on Matthew, Mark, Luke & Laura, does Electric Light Orchestra baroqueness, Of Montreal schizophrenia, and Belle & Sebastian to rival any of its short-playing predecessors. You could go out tonight, but every stitch you'd have to wear is sewn into the music's eccentric finery.

Exclusive photos: British singer lands in Jewish state ahead of Tuesday's concert

Published: 07.28.08, 13:14 / Israel Culture

This is one concert which won't be cancelled, and here's the proof: British singer Morrissey landed at Ben-Gurion Airport on Sunday evening.

The former Smiths' vocalist arrived in Israel along with his assistants and concert production team, all dressed in black and carrying a black handbag and a number of plastic bags.

Morrissey, 49, walked through the VIP lounge and headed towards the Cartlon Hotel in Tel Aviv. Sources close to the singer said that his itinerary for Monday would depend on his mood.

On Tuesday, Morrissey will finally perform at Tel Aviv's Yarkon Park, with the opening acts provided by the New York Dolls and Asaf Avidan.

Morrissey could have replied differently
I am undecided
