it's really not that interesting, but it's cute...

Today in History, Birthdays, Music, & Stuff, May 22, 2000

Created by Spin.com's email loving Ultragrrrl (ultragrrrl@aol.com), who informs us that "Stalking Thom Yorke [of Radiohead] is not a crime."

Today is dedicated to Morrissey. For there is no other man who can make us at Spin.com feel the way that he makes us feel. No other man can speak to us the way he does, and no other person is like he. Today is Morrissey's 41st Birthday and there will be 41 candle lights (plus one more for good luck), that won't go out. Hand in glove, and the sun shines out of our behinds because that joke isn't funny anymore.

A.J. Langer, the super amazing chick who played Rayanne Graff on My So-Called Life is 26. She was so amazing, why did ALL the hype go to Claire Danes? I mean, Claire was alright and stuff, but it was all about Rayanne, I mean, A.J.. It's like some sort of sad Mozzer song where pretty girls make early graves or something. (Julie would like to say that at one point in her life she thought Moz and AJ Langer were both incredibly hot!)

When Dan Roberts of Crash Test Dummies sings "Mmm... Mmm... Mmm... Mmm...," it's really all a prelude to "Mmmorrissey... Mmorrissey" but that part was cut out from the original song. Anyway, it's his birthday today and he's 33.

1954 - Mazel Tov to Robert Zimmerman a.k.a. Bob Dylan, who celebrated his Bar Mitzvah on this day. It's on this day that 13 year old boys become men, and 13 year old girls become women, and 13 year old Morrissey's rock.

Last night I was given an album called Little Black Numbers to review for a University newspaper... it's by a girl called Kathryn Williams who I believe is from either Newcastle or Liverpool. Jonny Bridgwood plays double-bass throughout, I'm assuming it's the same Jonny anyway... sadly the album is very poor, though I think that's more to do with the girl than Jonny. It's a horribly under-developed sounding record with hardly any drums (she could have done with nabbing Spencer too, har har) and all I can say is I'm glad I got it for free...

"He's Got A Big Face!" strikes again!

Just a quick note to say that little darling Harry Hill will be shown once again in his full glory! Yes, you heard it correctly boys and girls, Harry Hill impersonating Morrissey on Stars in Their Eyes is being repeated on Saturday, 9:00pm, ITV (UK only). Set your videos if you missed it last time (like me, the fool...)
