There's a nice cover of Please Please Please by Rob Dickinson, who was singer with 90s indie darlings Catherine Wheel and now is a solo artist.

You can hear it and download it at the link below.

Rob Dickinson, the vocalist from seminal British alternative band the Catherine Wheel, digitally released his new single, "Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want" via his own Carrera Records on May 19, 2009.

Enthusiastically received during live shows, this plaintive version of the Smiths’ classic tune is a sweet treat to fans while Dickinson is in the process of recording his next solo album.

The Smiths/Morrissey Edition of Lolita Party
Colt 45, $6 cover / 9:30pm-10:30pm
Glasslands Gallery
289 Kent Avenue,
at South 1st
Williamsburg

For those of you who get an instant boner watching a girl play guitar, this is your night. Kaki King plays a special set tonight at a celebration of all things Smiths/Morrissey. Probably around 1am or so.

As for the rest of this party, it'll be Smiths and Morrissey tributes by a bunch of irrelevant acts like Beta Beta, Bodega Girls and The Stationary Set. Afterparty with Rude Dudes, whoever they are.

Morrissey could have replied differently
I am undecided
