According to one Vh1´s "Bands Reunited" cable show staff member in LA the producers are cooking a Smiths reunion attempt pretty soon, i know it sounds impossible after all the rubbish between Moz and the band but this guys are taking all the risks, apparently the preparations are almost done (this guy is very close to the person in charge of planning the trip of the crew and equipment) and this guy has no benefit in lying to me. After the Frankie Goes To Hollywood reunion in the show i think that everything is possible!!! i will be glad to see their attempt even if they fail to get them to play (like with Frankie). ---

My friends in a band named Teaneck were playing at the Roxy tonight but I was unable to go and watch them. While I was home my friend called me and said that Morrissey was there... I ran into every wall in my apt. trying to get to the front door. Morrissey was sitting in a booth with a man and a woman - watching the bands. The table directly next to him opened-up and I sat down next to him. I introduced myself as politely as I could (I wanted to be as little a bother as possible) - I asked him if he could sign something and then asked if I could get a photo. He pleasantly agreed to both. My face in the photo tells exactly what I was thinking.

Flipping through this week's New York magazine (the fashion issue) the feature 'Mood Indigo' highlighting up and coming artists caught my eye in that I saw this caption about artist Ryan McGinley: After wrapping up last year's solo exhibit at P.S. 1/MoMA, the intimate imagist is now working on a book about Morrissey. This is accompanied by a full-page photo of McGinley. New York magazine February 14, 2005 page 117. ---

Minneapolis music group The Isms cover The Smiths song 'Well I Wonder' during their set at the 7th Street Entry in Minneapolis, Minnesota on February 10th. A man in the audience wasn't familiar with this particular song, but recognized it as a Smiths' song and promptly bought an Isms cd after the set was over!!!

Reading the february 2nd, 2005 Stuart Murdoch's diary on his site (Belle and Sebastian) I found this : "Ok, these days there does seem to be some young and funkier people on. So then we get a collection of classic rock, or contemporary folk, or whatever. Back in the eighties I used to fantasise about what my eight would be. I can put them down here. I don’t know if I’d choose the same eight now, but I had these eight for so long. I thought about sewing them into the lining of my underpants in case I got run over and they could broadcast posthumously! The Smiths : Reel Around The Fountain Wire Outdoor Miner Felt Riding On The Equator Young Marble Giants Final Day The Pop Group Savage Sea The Mekons Ghosts Of American Astronauts The Left Banke Something On My Mind The Lovin’ Spoonful Do You Believe In Magic?" He puts THE SMITHS in first position !! Nice no ?? Here the direct link and his complete text.

I was just watching Eastenders tonight and I noticed a familiar name at the ending credits. 'Written by Shaun Duggan.' Shaun, as some of you may know, featured in the 1987 South Bank Show special as a young teen Smiths fan. He then went on to write a play called William, based on the song 'William It Was Really Nothing' and was interviewed by Morrissey about the play in 1987 on Channel Four's The Tube. He then went on to write for Brookside. Writing for Eastenders hasn't been something to write home about though. The scriptwriters have been getting a critical battering and viewers, bored with the cold plots and unlikeable characters, have dwindled.

On VH1 today (feb 14),they had an all valentines day block of the "I married so and so series". Well, for the Sammy Hagar one, I found it interesting that they played "First of the gang to die" during the show. Just thought it was a little weird & cool.
