Last Sunday night between midnight and three Rodney Bingenheimer was doing his show on KROQ (Los Angeles) when the segment "London Calling", which exchanges British Indie happenings with a Brit. This time it was a singer named India. And Rodney and India had a conversation involving Morrissey.

(more)


Rodney: How do you you feel singing with Nick Heyward and having Morrissey at the show at Largo.
India: Oh yeah, that was pretty cool, pretty cool. Nick told me quite a bit about The Smiths and and it was pretty cool to see Morrissey and he's in the front row and ah..yeah. You know he was really nice. We (Nick & India) have a song about a girlfriend ("All I want is a girlfriend in a dress") and Nick was telling me about Morrissey's song about a girlfriend in a Komono. (Laughs)

Rodney: Right. It's so weird cause the night before that. I was up in a town near Palo Alto and I was with these Smiths fans, and we were all talking and I got on a plane the next day. Flew in then got to the airport at Burbank straight to Largo and BOOM! Who should be there but Morrissey. Checking you guys out.
India: Yeah!

Rodney: Then he was at Coldplay too.
India: Was he?

Rodney: Yeah ah the first show. So Morrissey's getting around. Also Andy Paily was with Morrissey at the Nick Heyward show and looks like Morrissey is going to do a song on the SUN RECORD's box set. It's got Paul McCartney on it, Elton John, Three Doors Down... a lot of people doing rockabilly songs.
India: Wow!

Rodney: And I think Morrissey's going to do a song for the SUN RECORDS box set coming out on London Sire Records probably end of the year.
India: Wow! I, I don't know to many Morrissey songs and I keep asking people what's one of his songs he plays. Oh really depressing stuff. And I'm like oh I really want to hear it.

Rodney: Well I was really into the Smiths. I like the Smiths. But solo Morrissey I like that album YOUR ARSENAL that he did with um...Mick Ronson. It's a real cool album.
India: Yeah I got to educate myself more on Morrissey songs...

Then India and Rodney proceed to talk about the British indie charts and Rodney pops a question about Michael from the band Charming.

Rodney: Yeah, so what did Micheal think about meeting Morrissey at the Nick Heyward show.
India: Oh he was, he was pretty pleased. Yeah.

Rodney: Yeah, him and his girl, and Jason and Colin got to meet Morrissey and...
India: Yeah that's true. Michael's pretty cool. He's pretty up to date on most music.

Note: I recorded the show so the dialogue is correct. Sorry if I misspelled artist names.
