Whilst Sophie Dahl was putting some chocolate things in the fridge they played 'please, please, please...'

Right before she cooked some fish. FFS!

In the latest Radio Times there's a review of that programme by Alison Graham, who says "The Delicious Miss Dahl was as winsome as a fairy's wand, right down to the drippy girly indie ballads that infected the soundrack"

Ahaha, Eggheads had another Smiths question.

The contestant knew Morrissey's full name.

Jeremy Vine played Cemetry Gates on BBC Radio 2 today, a pleasant surprise.

Jeremy Vine is one of the high profile Smiths / Morrissey fans in the UK.

He contributed Culture Show Living Icon presentation as well.

When 'Suedeheads' was on Eggheads, he quoted some lyrics.

Pity I didn't have time to show him The Cat's Mother's knitted Smiths.

'Hand In Glove' played during Sky's coverage of the United game last night, over a montage of Rooney's goals.

The link presumably is that Roon wears gloves most games these days; a superstitious thing I think.

Roger Ebert Tweet:

American remake of "Let the Right One In" to be titled "Let Me In." Original too difficult for Hollywood to spell.

WTF? That ruins the whole point of the title!

WTF? That ruins the whole point of the title!

It has been already ruined because the film distributor didn't include the word 'slip' in English title.
A Swedish user posted that Swedish title is exactly the same as the Morrissey song.

 

[Je Suis Julie]

Maybe they are quoting the "Let Me In" lyric from "The More You Ignore Me"

Either way, the re-make is gonna suck.

I knew it would happen eventually, but I finally heard "I'm Throwing My Arms..." in a store! Ingle's supermarket, to be exact. The music played in that store is generally pretty cool; I've heard The Sundays, Doves, and Camera Obscura in there before.

Also, not so unexpected or strange, but I was listening to The Lucksmiths' song "A Great Parker" today. I'd never noticed the line "I was drunk in the haze of happy hour." I like the twist. If ya'll have never checked out The Lucksmiths, you should.

Just had 'Boxers' playing in the background of a feature on the Football League Show about Darlington FC who are the football league's worst club. Even worse than Stockport County

How Soon Is Now playing in Spar today, and I overheard the accompanying conversation:

Girl 1: I hate The Smiths with a f***ing passion.
Girl 2: Really? What about Morrissey?
Girl 1: Morrissey is the very reason I hate The Smiths.
