    Saint Etienne's new album 'Words and music' uses artwork from from a Song Map http://www.wearedorothy.com/art/song...mited-edition/ - the artwork is slightly different from the poster (it looks like the next page in the a-z) but Maudlin St is featured on the album sleeve (very bottom edge near left hand corner)



    The map itself (not the album sleeve) features a number of Smiths / Morrissey references (including Back to the Old House)

    Courtesy of an interview in the current Sun:

    ‘I have nothing but fondness for The Smiths...but I’m glad I left’ - The Sun

    It's an interesting, short, piece, especially at the end:

    Marr refuses to talk about the 1996 court case which saw Joyce take Morrissey and Marr to court over royalties (Morrissey and Marr took most of The Smiths' recording and performance royalties and allowed ten per cent each to Joyce and Rourke.) He confesses: "I don't like getting too serious. And I don't want to be disrespectful because they were my mates. I have nothing but great fondness for The Smiths. When I left I felt relieved but did it at the right time.

    "I last saw Morrissey a couple of years ago and we hung out for an afternoon and it was pretty funny.

    Report posted by Dave2006:

    Top night last night - Johnny is one cool, cool bloke. Well, last night he was sweating buckets because it was so hot in there.

    At one stage he stood in front of the monitors playing to the crowd, people were patting him on the head and ruffling his hair, one guy in the front row was obviously saying something to Johnny and it looked like Johnny kissed the top of his head - it was a surreal, beautiful moment.

    A mate lifted the set list from the guitarist at the end and gave it to me -

    I always read Saturday's Guardian on a Sunday morning, and just come across the interview with Jonathan Ross in the Weekend Magazine. At the end there is a mention of Morrissey - no real news I'm afraid, just a name drop:

    How would he feel if the new show bombed? He says it won't because there's an audience out there for him, and he's too good to let that happen. "Would you like me to drop another name for you here? I went for dinner with Morrissey after the BBC show and…" Meanwhile, the photographer is desperately trying to get his attention. "Let me just finish what I was saying about the Morrissey thing because this is interesting. You'll like this. He was talking about me leaving the BBC and was surprised at the way the press had reacted, and I said, in actual

    The album, and Morrissey's endorsement, was slated in the Observer yesterday:

    Young the Giant: Young the Giant – review by Paul Mardles (2 of 5 stars)


    As his regard for bands such as the long-forgotten Bradford and the thuggish Cockney Rejects attests, Morrissey has never been the greatest judge of talent. The latest recipients of his praise are Young the Giant, a California five-piece whose derivative indie rock is as tame as much of Mozzer's own recent work. Sometimes they sound like an anaemic Coldplay; at others they're a sweatier version of the Shins. Frontman Sameer Gadhia has a distinctive voice but, aside from the radiant "Apartment", even he can't furnish Young the Giant's debut with a spirit that is unmistakably their own

    There is a very rare Last of the Famous... 7" test pressing on ebay
    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Morrissey-Last...item3f0a0d4bce

    There was a similar one (if not the same one?) listed back in December - see the discussion http://www.morrissey-solo.com/thread...essing-on-ebay

    It has an alternative version of Lucky Lisp on the b-side - which I still don't think has ever been leaked.

    Someone with more cash than me must buy it and share it

    God this is awful... a colleague's ipod is playing in the background... hang on, that sounds like Panic, yes it is, the new Bad Shepherds album
