Just heard today that Monday's gig has been cancelled, I feel sick to the stomach. Promoters were playing around with ticket prices for ages, with prices going as high as 3000 RUR ($120), now the venue is saying that Moz's management has called it off - no news yet about refunds etc...

Despite some healthy promotion of the gig in the city, I suspect that poor ticket sales might be to blame...aside from ex-pats, there's not much Moz interest here.

She & Him Cover The Smiths' "Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want" - Stereogum

The Stereogum music blog unveiled the soundtrack to the upcoming Zooey Deschanel movie '500 Days of Summer' today. It features fan favorites 'There is a Light That Never Goes Out' and 'Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want' (the latter is listed twice: the Smiths' original and a cover by She & Him, a partnership of Deschanel and M Ward.) Stereogum has posted a flash player for the cover song for your perusal.

Granada (UK) TV coverage of fans in Manchester for Morrissey's 50th birthday gig

Watch at www.thedayimetmorrissey.com (3 mins 40secs).

Broadcast on UK TV on Friday May 22nd and includes interview with fan and author Dickie Felton touring Morrissey sites in Manchester.

Also features interviews with fans at Salford Lads Club who travelled from Spain and America for the Apollo shows.

Craig Gill, ex Inspiral Carpets and runs MozBus tours of the city, is also featured.

Dickie said: "Other than my ugly mug appearing, this is a lovely little piece by Granada and captures the mood in Manchester during Morrissey's birthday weekend.

"I was quite flattered that they labelled me 'Morrissey's biggest fan' - though I'm sure I'm well down the pecking order for that honour.

"Even though I love Morrissey I don't even think I can lay claim to being the biggest Morrissey fan in our street!"

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
The audience provocateur should be examined, not Morrissey's reply
