Last night (Wednesday 12th Jan) was the live countdown of Terry Christian and Conrad Murray’s Top 40 Manchester Tunes of 2004 on BBC GMR. The broadcast celebrated an amazing year for Manchester music.
Morrissey topped the chart with his highest ever-charting single, Irish Blood, English Heart. Also included were superb singles from the likes of Ian Brown, Elbow, Badly Drawn Boy, The Charlatans, The Fall and The Earlies. The chart is also full of tunes from Manchester bands tipped to go massive next year - The Longcut, Loose Canon, Nine Black Alps, Fear of Music, Young Offender’s Institute, Performance and Raw-T.
Even Rowetta made an appearance - as a backing singer on Stazi’s electro effort Love is Lethal.

An anonymous person writes:
The new Sandie Shaw box set "Nothing Comes Easy" has notes written by Sandie herself. In them she makes reference to her time working with The Smiths and Morrissey himself.
"Hand in Glove - I took the letters from Morrissey seriously, because Nick was friends with Geoff Travis who told me that Geoff had to talk to me. Geoff came 'round, tried to explain to me who this person, Morrissey, was, gave me more letters and left me some material and things like that - and said "Why don't you just meet him?" I said that I would think about it. I didn't understand it at first, and then when Morrissey came 'round and I met him, I think I understood. I had never seen anybody so controlled/excited - and it was quite unusual because most people you meet in this business are very small, much smaller than you imagine them to be - and he's very tall. And I thought that's a definite plus! Because I'm tall and I don't have to work with little squirts! I Don't Owe You Anything was the first song I did - I guess it won the group over as Morrissey was so for it. The letters, the first ones, were from him and Johnny - but I knew they were in Morrisseys writing, so I think they were all won over by I Don't Owe You Anything. It was as if someone had taken my shackles off - it felt so good. Really so good. Top Of The Pops was really smelly because they all took their shoes off! I think I had my shoes on and they went barefoot - and because Morrissey didn't have a part, he couldn't actually be in fornt of the camera so he was in the studio, down the side, swooning and being silly! He doesn't like me talking about this because it makes him look undignified - I don't think it does - it's such a key to unlock the person he is. The fact that he can see something in something and then everybody thinks "Oh" - it's one of those! It's so much of a gut feeling with him, there's no rhyme nor reason, but for some reason he had got affected by emotion conveyed in my recordings and it made some really deep connection in his life - I don't know, some sort of female alter-ego. His dream was for me to sing his songs. Which is a bit strange because most of his songs are homo-erotic songs but I found that fascinating - because it was something new to experiment with. His lyrics are brilliant - they really are brilliant."
Please Help The Cause Against Loneliness - fabulous, brilliant! I was at the Wool Hall when Morrissey did his (unreleased) version. I wrote the b-side "Lover of the century" with Mark Nevin who later went on to work with Morrissey - incestuous isn't it!"
All in all the box set is superb...all The Smiths recordings are there and the booklet contains pictures of Sandie with Mozzer as well as more mentions of their time together.
Worth checking out.
