"Loved & Lost" / Spencer Cobrin update

Check out the new "Loved & Lost" site by Alison, who does "the unofficial fanzine for Spencer Cobrin" called Operations.

On the site are several interesting articles and an update on Spencer by Spencer himself:

...I am sure any or almost all information on myself is very unaccurate, so why don’t I fill you in just a few details if I may.

That I have been living in New York City for the past 2½ years in the east village.
That I am an aspiring composer and also play piano and guitar.
That three if my works were recorded by Morrissey last year, they are; ‘Wide To Receive', ‘Lost’ (b-side to ‘Roy’s Keen’ single) and ‘Now I Am A Was’ (b-side to ‘Satan......Soul’).
That my band ‘Sonnenblume’ played its very first show in N.Y.C. on the 22nd Sept at Nightingales (a sleazy dive bar).
That I am an art collector.
I love the countryside and to read.
I love to eat well and enjoy fine wine.
Travels often, mainly to L.A.
I am working on a cutting edge electronica album.

Smiths reference in "Model Behavior"

From Peter Payne of New York:

This is from a passage from Jay McInerney’s (Bright Lights, Big City), latest novel "Model Behavior". It is a rather good read at that. It has to do with the main character, Connor McKnight’s girlfriend leaving him.

"She’s gone Connor. She’s only coming back to get her clothes. Plus, watch, she’ll take all the tapes and CD’s you bought when you were together. They always do, even the ones they bitched about all the time. It doesn’t matter that she absolutely hated Led Zeppelin II or LOUDER THAN BOMBS, it doesn’t matter that she always told you to turn them down."

I found it quite interesting to still see them referred to in Literature. As I said before it is a good book and as well as Model Behavior, the books contains 7 short stories. Well worth the buy.

Morrissey mention: Upcomingmovies.com

From Greg Dean Schmitz:

I don’t know if its accepted for an author to submit their own work, but here goes...

A few weeks ago, while doing my preview of the movie, The Theory of Flight, I was moved to compare it to Morrissey’s song "November Spawned a Monster". The article in question is at:

Morrissey/Smiths disco in Manchester, Dec. 3

From Poo Face:

Infamous Moz disco at the Star and Garter, Manchester, with everyone coming from all over UK. Christmas gathering in couple of weeks time, 4th December, Friday night. Cost about 2 quid - V. cheap!!!

Slide projector images on one end of clubroom, almost everyone dances, and one T-Rex or Suede song for every 10 Moz/Smiths songs. Bar, and good prices, and Julian, the resident MozMaster will be in attendance doing an unbelievably amazing impersonation of Morrissey Vauxhall and I era (check out his dancing to "November Spawned A Monster"!!!). Mail me for help to get there / info, etc.
