You may well be aware that last night Morrissey played an intimate show for BBC Radio 2 at the Radio Theatre in London. We think your users would love to hear the gig, a brand new interview and see some pictures of the event. And - best of all - later today/early tomorrow the full concert will be available on to watch on the Radio 2 website, so feel free to spread the word and keep an eye on this link.

Many thanks and enjoy!

This is what we Brits pay our TV/Radio license fee for:
RADIO 2 LIVE: MORRISSEY (listen live)
Wednesday 11 February 2009, 2000-2200

Hear Morrissey performing live in the BBC Radio Theatre in London during the second hour of Wednesday's Radcliffe and Maconie show.

Rule Britannia and a solid fiscal policy.

The Smiths at T in the Park?
posted by davidt on Wednesday February 11 2009, @10:00AM

Delaney Darwin writes:
In the Sunday Mail(Scottish Tabloid) on 8 Feb, resident music journo Billy Sloan included this snippet in his column:

"Bumped into Johnny Marr in Glasgow last week. He revealed The Smiths have been offered big bucks for a reunion...and he's not ruling it out. He said:"I met up with Morrissey and it was nice." The Smiths at T in the Park?* How great does that sound?"

Read into that what you will.
*T in the Park is an annual outdoor music festival in Scotland.

"Paris" midweek position, #18
posted by davidt on Wednesday February 11 2009, @10:00AM

Spring Heeled Jim writes:
After Monday's sales, Throwing My Arms Around Paris made number 18 in the UK chart on just over 3,000 sales, most of these being physical sales as apposed to downloads. It's unlikely the single will remain within the top 20 this week despite his planned radio and TV appearances which is a real shame.

How do you feel about Morrissey dropping the F-bomb during his recent concert in Hamburg, Germany? (suggested by Ken Stavitzke)
I support Morrissey's response
Morrissey could have replied differently
I am undecided
I don't care
