Collector's Corner -Autographed CDs - Rhino MORRISSEY Viva Hate I'll wrap up this sextet of reminiscences with an encounter that had parallels to the Second Coming of Christ if you were a music fan who came of age in the '80s. The day that Morrissey entered our shop, every employee (male & female) made a mad dash to the M section of Rock (rumor had it that the Moz wouldn't sign Smiths CDs). I joined the throng (I actually missed the Smiths phenomenon and had gotten into Morrissey during his solo career), and proceeded to snatch up a copy of Viva Hate. Morrissey (along with some record company guy he had in tow) approached the information booth while I was still fumbling around looking for a pen. He was taller than I expected, somewhat shy, and very polite. He was looking for anything that we had by the band Generation X (Billy Idol's old outfit). Of course, we were fresh out of this band, but I took the opportunity to ask Morrissey to autograph my CD, and he graciously accepted. As we were having this exchange, the record company guy made a big display of asking me if I would like to see Morrissey play in Los Angeles again (it had been a little while since his last L.A. show, and I think that he was between labels at the time). I replied "of course," but the whole scenario was a little creepy and I could definitely tell that Morrissey was embarrassed. So we shook hands and went our separate ways. As I was standing in the info booth later that day, I looked over my signed copy of Viva Hate and smiled. I didn't have much, but I had this...and I still do. -- Mac Dunlop

I thought you might be interested that on Monday, we’ve got a new edition of “Stories” starring Johnny Marr going live on Channelbee.com.
“Stories” is basically our favourite musicians, actors and celebrities telling their favourite anecdotes. We’ve already got a Johnny Marr story up there about when he was kidnapped by Happy Mondays but Monday’s story is about when he lent his guitar to a struggling Noel Gallagher before Oasis were big…in a nutshell, they smashed it up and asked Johnny for another one so he gave them the black Les Paul he wrote The Queen is Dead and Bigmouth Strikes Again on…

Not sure how news-worthy this is or not, but Alan Brandt of my local radio station 90.5 WUOL in Louisville, KY covered Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want on the ukulele. Pretty decent cover actually.
Louisville’s 90.5 WUOL plays The Smiths on the Ukulele - Backseat Sandbar Alan Brandt of 90.5 WUOL, the Louisville classical sister station to 91.9 WFPK, has created a great and yet terribly absurd video presentation of himself performing “Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want” by the Smiths on the ukulele. A great instrument plus one of the greatest songs by one of the greatest bands…equals…something http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37REBnM3YB0
