Houston - Morrissey Birthday Get Together (May 22)

From Abrahan Garza:

Many of us are planning to meet at Hermann Park <near the duck pond> at 12 noon. Perhaps bringing flowers and bread <for the birds>.

If you are in Houston and are a musician interested in playing some Morrissey/Smiths music, please call me at 713-864-5338. I play guitar and will be there early. Hope to see you there!

John Cale producing Morrissey?

From Tim:

There has been a persistent rumour on the Velvet Underground Discussion forum that John Cale will be producing Morrissey's next work. Anyone heard about that here?

Johnny Marr - not interested in reunion

From Lorenzo Pizza:

Just a quick note (for what its worth) to mention that I heard Robbie Buck interview Johnny Marr for Triple J radio in Australia yesterday. Most of the discussion centred on the making of the new Electronic alum but Robbie did ask whether a reunion with Morrissey was on the cards. Johnny quite clearly stated he was not interested saying he would not have the time, said there was no need for him to do it and wanted to leave his past collaboration with Mozzer to the past.

Radio show in Germany, May 28

From Florian:

On Friday, May 28 I'll celebrate Morrissey's 40th birthday by broadcasting a show called "World of Morrissey" on local independent radio station "Querfunk" (Karshlruhe, Germany, 104.8 fm).

From midnight until dawn I'll pay extensive homage to Mozzer's and The Smiths' back catalogues, play music by "related" bands and artists and discuss with with studio guests.

I'm wide to receive mails from fans from all over the world who'd like to participate in this programme by telling their favourite Moz-stories, expressing their views on the "World of Morrissey" as such or simply requesting some song or other. Exchange of tapes/MiniDiscs can be arranged individually.

Black Crowe quotes Morrissey

From Chris Lark:

Even I don't believe this. On the official Black Crowes website (http://www.tallest.com) in their "What's Wrong With Steve?" section  where you can ask their drummer Steve Gorman questions - he quotes Morrissey:

...Oh sure, they say, I knew him way back when. I knew him before the fame, the adulation, the off-shore bank accounts, the horrible hair decisions, the self important nonsensical musings, the paranoia fueled mood swings, the ludicrous political agenda, Oh, yeah, I knew him before all that. I knew him when he was just simply Steve. I knew him pretty well, come to think of it. I knew a lot of his secrets. I was a confidante of sorts, you could say, I had his ultimate trust. He took my calls on his wallet phone. He spent hours bouncing super-balls off of walls and was content. He didn't have a dime, but yet, as Morrissey once said, "In the days that you were hopelessly poor, I just liked you more". Maybe I'll just jerk his chain a little to remind him of all of us back here, in his past. Well, nice try...

"Moz" in Aggressive Rollerblade magazine

From Scott:

In the current issue of the Skate mag Daily Bread (#28), the music reviewer's name is Moz and he is reviewing a Kill Holiday cd. I don't know who they are but he says they are a mix between Morrissey and Suede. It's just bizarre to see that in a hardcore skate magazine.
