Event Organizers would like to apologize to Morrissey's fans for the disappointment but he is unable to perform and on doctor’s orders has been told to rest.

Boduf Songs cover 'Everyday Is Like Sunday' on new 7"

posted by davidt on Saturday May 09 2009, @11:00AM

Harry S writes:

"...Side two is occupied by a cover version of Morrissey's "Everyday is Like Sunday". Stripped down and laid bare, a simple structure, accompanied by acoustic guitar, vocals, and xylophone, adding not only a sinister/beguiling childlike element, but also a wonderful uplifting rhythm that contrasts beautifully with the disparaging nature of the lyrics. The word "glorious" doesn't do it justice. ..."

posted by davidt on Saturday May 09 2009, @11:00AM

Jose Jay writes:

May, 2009: Honouring his 50th in Manchester, Jose Jay from Burbank, California, USA, has exclusively designed a Commemorative Medallion for this 2009 event. Created in Sterling Silver, this medallion brings together the significance of Morrissey, born in 1959, Manchester… & 50 years which we can appreciate as his gift to music, the arts, and in turn… the pigsty. Inspiringly significant, 20% of the gross proceeds generated from this design will be donated to the Salford Lad’s Club in Manchester where the innocence of youth conspire to join the human race. This commemorative medallion created in 2 sizes are available for viewing & invite your participation at http://www.josejay.com/morrissey.html.
