I don't know if this has been mentioned, but the MOJO show London Live is advertising Morrissey among its performers on tonight's show. The show comes on the U.S. HD cable channel INHD at 10:30 Eastern. If you miss it they replay shows fairly often, so there's a good chance you can catch it.

Top Of The Pops' great lost moment
NME.com posted an article today that looks at the best moments in Top of the Pops history, with links to videos of many of those performances on YouTube. Included were The Smiths: "As lovers of all things pop Morrissey and Johnny Marr made their TOTP performances must watch occasions with their full gladiolus swinging, hearing aid wearing pomp." They apparently chose the clip of "This Charming Man" for classic Morrissey in his gorgeous, gladioli-waving glory.

Interview: The Puppini Sisters - mywestend.co.uk Excerpt: How have the artists you have covered appreciated it? Any feedback from them? We were very surprised to receive such positive feedback from The Smiths fans! They are renowned for being very picky but have left some really nice feedback on our MySpace site (www.myspace.com/puppinisisters). We also feature on a website called ‘The Worst Kate Bush Covers Ever’ as doing a version that they do actually like! Still waiting to hear from Kate and Morrissey though… ---

Stuart's Diary - JULY 31ST, 2006 Excerpt: I lay back and listened to the interview which was called “My Top 10”. I remember listening to this series in the eighties. I think it was on a Saturday afternoon. I can’t remember hearing the Morrissey one before. In 1984 I would have perhaps listened, uncommitted, if I stumbled over it. I remember hearing the programme with Simon Le Bon of Duran Duran; a few years after it must have been. I was amazed that he chose a Cocteau Twins song. He chose a track called Little Spacey from the Victorialand album. I remember being infinitely annoyed when the interviewer just called the track “Victorialand” as if he couldn’t be bothered to lean over and read the label on the record to see what the song was called. (I’m listening to the song right now. If I veer off into the impenetrable for a second or so it’s because of the aural tickle that I feel.) Well, I liked listening to Morrissey. He was so talkative; passionate about his small world. Affable even. His choice of music was good; I particularly liked the Sandy Posey track that he chose. So there I am listening to Morrissey talking about how The Smiths will never play another festival, I’m listening to the Cocteau Twins, I’m thinking that when I get back to Scotland I might try and get a job in the Holiday Camp that I used to work in. ---
