On clearing out some stuff recently, I came across some email correspondence from EMI UK regarding possible unreleased tracks to use on the Viva Hate anniversary edition. As you know the proposed 'Striptease' etc never happened but thought you may be interested in the list of tracks that were in EMI's archive at the time.

Some have of course been released since and others we already know about but there are a few interesting titles that it would be good to find more info on.

The email reads as follows:
-----------------
"With regards to any other unreleased tracks I've compiled a list of odd titles that we have in mixed format, there are others on multi but I don't suppose you would be looking to add the cost of mixing to the project.

Bed Took Fire
Belfast
Cage Of Marriage
Chainsaw
Dennis Cockall Song
Experiment
Fantastic Bird
Genius
Glass Menagerie
Oh Well I'll Never Learn
One of Our Own
Please Help ThHe Cause Against Loneliness
Safe Warm Lancashire Home
Sisterama
Stay As You Are

Most of these will just be working titles for released tracks, there may also be a couple that were released but we don't have any production tape for them."
-----------------

Hope this is of interest and look forward to any more information on these songs.

While the rest of the world was watching Sir Paul McCartney during the SuperBowl half time show. Channel 2 CBS news (Los Angeles) was doing a short special on Nancy Sinatra (she was having some type of party). A list of invited guest, to include Morrissey, was introduced by the anchorman and a quick snip of the mozzer was shown waving at the camera very shy.

There is an article with Chloe talking about records and of course she mentions The Smiths and Moz. Here's the link:

Last Saturday at the half time interval of the Man Utd vs Birmingham football game they played "Munich Air Disaster" to the [approx] 68,000 fans in attendance at Old Trafford. The track was announced as Morrissey's inimitable tribute to the Munich Disaster [Sunday was the 47th anniversary of the fateful day]

NB - FWIW the Reds won 2-0 thanks largely to the superb display from Roy Keane ;-)

The Sport's Guy, a featured writer on ESPN's page 2 column mentioned Morrissey again while referring to the weather in Jacksonville on Superbowl week. He refers to the weather as being "Morrissey-esque" and he makes a play on "Girlfriend in a Coma." Here's the link.

Best weather: Tuesday
Did you like the steady drizzle on Wednesday? What about the combination fog-and-drizzle on Thursday? Nah, I think I'll go with Tuesday -- dark, gloomy and Morrisey-esque. Super Bowl Week in a coma I know, I know ... it's serious ...
