Clive writes: Mark and Lard [UK Radio 1 DJ's] played a cover of "There is a Light That Never Goes Out" by Friendship Seven this afternoon. Release date 23rd April. It sounds OK but more importantly I'd like to praise the efforts of M and L in keeping the Morrissey profile alive on UK National Radio. They take every available opportunity to mention or play Smiths/Moz songs [usually a game connection/link] and they are obviously big fans. You can hear the show live 'on-line' and read about the fella's at the link above. PS: I believe that 'Lard' used to play Bass for The Fall.

Holy Name also writes: The Smiths-friendly BBC Radio 1 DJ's Mark & Lard today played a cover of "There is a Light that never goes out" by the New York band Friendship Seven. The record is due for release in the UK in late April and received fair praise from Mark Radcliffe who said that although the original version could hardly be bettered, this cover version still "worked".

Stu also writes: I found out yesterday about a really dreadful cover version of There Is A Light... by a band called Friendship 7 which is out in the UK on Apr 23. It sounds like St Etienne fronted by one of the women out of the Human League, and is truly, truly awful. Marc Radcliffe and Mark Riley have been playing it on their Radio One show, and unfortunately seem to like it.
