Abrahan sends the link to his post in the forums:

houston, texas - venue - jones hall
two local sources of mine confirmed today that morrissey would be performing at jones hall in houston.
it would be part of a music concert series that houston society for the performing arts is going to to be having.

looking at the venue's schedule and the gap in the tour booked so far, i predict it'll be in march.

right around sxsw.

[hoax] Maladjusted 2009 remaster details
posted by davidt on Saturday December 13 2008, @07:00PM

Update: 12/14 15:28 GMT:

This is a likely hoax. I just checked the IP address and it matches one used by "Viva Hate, OBGYN" who has trolled in the past (screenshot). The same account in the comments has boldly claims this is a hoax.

The site relies on user submissions and with the open comment system hoaxes are usually quickly found out. Sorry this user has chosen to waste everyone's time.

THE SMITHS Reader - new book by John Luerssen
posted by davidt on Saturday December 13 2008, @07:00PM

John Luerssen writes:
The SMITHS Reader 1983 - 1987 won't be available in traditional book stores and online retailers until late February, but fans who want to order in advance from Rock Reader Books can do so here: http://www.lulu.com/content/4878126 and have their copy in just 5 to 8 days.

In 2002, the NME declared The Smiths “the greatest artist of all time”. And it’s a notion that’s difficult to dispute. In just five short years, the Manchester foursome conquered the world, forever changing the scope of modern music. Along the way, the fame seemed to alter frontman Morrissey's opinion of print journalism, going from an absolute frenzy of press interviews in 1983 and 1984, easing up in 1985 and ultimately withdrawing, save for a few essential pieces in 1986 and 1987. As The Smiths’ frontman recoiled from the public eye, his songwriting accomplishments with guitar maestro Johnny Marr gave way to one brilliant song cycle after another. Inspired, influential and always prolific, Morrissey, Marr, bassist Andy Rourke and drummer Mike Joyce were like no other band, either before them or since the group’s unexpected implosion in August of 1987.

The Smiths songs on 'Doctors'
posted by davidt on Saturday December 13 2008, @07:00PM

Anthony writes:
'William it was really nothing' and 'Some Girls are Bigger than Others' have appeared in an episode of 'Doctors' named 'The Cuckhold King', the episode revolves around an impotent man and given the context, the songs are very amusing.

You can catch the episode on BBC I-Player.
