Great Yarmouth is a goer

posted by davidt on Thursday May 14 2009, @10:00AM

Scouse Elvis writes:

Just spoken to the Britannia Pier people, who tell me that tomorrow's gig is going ahead.

They spoke to Mozza's management yesterday, who said it was still on. God bless antibiotics.

"We see no reason why it won't go ahead."

Their words, not mine. I'd check tomorrow before you make a mammoth slog.

(Funnily enough, Moz isn't listed on the Pier's website but comedy giants the Chuckle Brothers are. Along with TV medium Derek Acorah. Maybe Degsy can feel some residual energy and tell us all if Moz will defo turn up!!!!)

Just spoke to my industry insider and the show on Friday is to go ahead (Confirmed by SJM)- the local crew have been booked / confirmed and the touring crew are already in Yarmouth ready for the "get in" Friday morning. The worst case scenario now is that he tries - and he fails....

Lloyd Cole bumps into Morrissey in Belfast

posted by davidt on Thursday May 14 2009, @10:00AM

darconuk writes:

Lloyd Cole finished his soundcheck and was walking through the Cathedral Quarter. Who should he bump into on the street but Morrissey, in town for a couple of concerts and staying in The Merchant. According to eyewitness accounts they literally hailed one another in the street - not having met in two decades - and had a casual natter, Belfast style.

Morrissey look a likes - photo project by Adam Krause (LA shoot in 2 weeks)

posted by davidt on Thursday May 14 2009, @10:00AM

Adam writes:

I am a huge moz/smiths fan [have a smiths tattoo] and am doing a portrait series on people who have been inspired by the smiths/moz in their life and now are influenced by Morrissey in their everyday wardrobe. I am a professional photographer and am freelance so just work for magazines and travel around a lot.

I've done a few portraits here on the east coast and plan on heading to LA soon to finish up the project. Right now a few magazines are interested in running the story and there is a group show in LA that will possibly have the photos in a gallery out there. So with that said, Im contacting you if you by any chance know any people across the US that would possibly fit the bill or be good to contact for the project? Im not looking for people that necessarily look like him, just more so inspired to dress like him, get their hair cut like him, etc etc. Im heading to LA for a shoot in 2 weeks so in theory it would be great to make some portraits once I am out there.

Thanks for your time

An anonymous person sends the link:

Speed-Dating Host Dave Hill Explains Smiths-Themed Soundtrack - Digital City

For those who are lonely and don't have a television, you can go see my friend, Dave Hill, at the Black Rabbit Bar in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. He hosts a night of speed dating using Smiths songs instead of a timer. It's called "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now."

I asked him to tell me about it.

corey wittig writes:

On Friday May 22nd Steven Patrick Morrissey turns 50 years old. And, in the grand tradition of Pittsburgh tribute/cabaret shows, we'll be playing Morrissey/Smiths covers at Brillobox (4104 Penn Ave), but wait, that's not all! Vipers Soul Club DJ Gordy will be stopping by to spin Morrissey influences (60s girl group, 70s glam, etc.). After the bands wrap, the night will transform into a dance party. If that ain't enough, all proceeds go to Animal Friends, our favorite local no kill animal shelter.

Featuring:
Life In Bed
Takeover UK
The Wilsons
Meeka In Jail
The Wittig Tutu
Vipers Soul Club DJs
and more...

Come out, support a great artist and a great organization! Only $3 and the show starts at 9pm.

Gladiola not required, but suggested.
