A lot of people reported this one. Elena was first to write: Tonight (17 October) on Dawson's Creek, "Girlfriend in a Coma" was played while Pacey was on a boat with a girl. Supposedly, the music was coming from their college radio station. The scene was long and most of the song was played.
--- Jet Pilot Playboy also writes: While watching Dawson's Creek tonight, There was a segment where a young college DJ plays a "classic Smiths ballad," "Girlfriend in a Coma." The song is played during some of the show. It's nice to see a show as young as Dawson's Creek playing something other than the bubblegum pop of the day, showing at least a little taste in the writer's pocket. --- And manofslendermeans also writes: What's up with Jen and the Smiths and Moz and Girlfriend in a Coma??? She didn't want her guy, the dj, to play the "Smiths classic." She called it mope rock and made some comment about Moz (though not mentioning his name) being an ambiguously something genius (I don't remember her exact words). iI was cool they played the whole song, but at the end when the show credits the music used in the show to whatever artist is featured that week... they didn't say THE SMITHS... what's up with that?!?!?!? The show sucks but I may keep watching... they may play "How Soon Is Now?" On second thought... stop them cuz we've heard that one before!

I am writing you concerning a fist fight that Morrissey got into with Johnny Witmer of the punk band The Stitches. They met at a bar in LA and the ensuing fight took place. The Stitches are a punk band from LA, California and they have a new 12" EP that just came out on Kapow Records. --- From The Stitches website: Johnny Witmer in fist fight with Morrissey! A picture is worth a thousand words! Larger image from Kyle.

I just checked the Other Music website for a review of Death Cab for Cutie's newest album and found a link to a band called Low and their cover of "Last Night I Dreamt that Somebody Loved Me." The song, in RealAudio format, is available here. The cover itself is actually pretty horrible, but it's good for a laugh. (They made it sound like mid-period Elton John meets the whiny theatrics of Soundgarden, so be warned...)

This is extremely trivial and I know you won't print it, but here's my submission anyway. I was listening to KROQ in Los Angeles the other day. (yes, I know how awful, but my car only has an am/fm radio) Anyway, there was an commercial for AT&T playing, that I was paying no attention to until the announcer clearly stated, "Tony the Pony." I have no idea what the context was, but I am certain he said those three words. That's all I've got.
