Can a new film heal Smiths' rift? - MEN

Excerpts:

TWO members of The Smiths are to re-visit the story of the band's acrimonious split nearly 20 years ago in a major new TV documentary film.

Drummer Mike Joyce and bass player Andy Rourke will speak for the first time on camera about their time in the iconic 1980s Manchester band.

Their film - Inside The Smiths - has been made without the co-operation of songwriting duo Morrissey and Johnny Marr, whom they sued in a bitter legal wrangle over royalties.

And the musicians have had to call in specialist lawyers to scrutinise every inch of film to ensure the band members do not end up being reunited in the courts again.

Rourke, now 42, said the crew had spent two years filming him and Joyce.

...The documentary, due to be released on DVD in March, features contributions from other Manchester music legends, including Peter Hook of New Order and The Fall's Mark E Smith, and features previously unseen photographs.

Inside The Smiths is to be screened on the MTV channel VH1 next spring.

Hi there,

I am an editor at the radio station which forms the namesake of the FM4 Frequency Festival in Salzburg, I'm also the author of the review of Morrissey's performance at this year's edition of the festival.

In this context I'm trying to collect opinions by members of his global fan community on the perspective of this coming broadcast, or generally that show in Salzburg for the purpose of publishing them on fm4.orf.at . You are cordially invited to mail me your thoughts at [email protected]

On Mtv2 there is coverage of the Benicassim festival catchily titled MTV2 at Benicassim and towards the end of the show there is a short interview with Moz and Zane Lowe.

They cover many of the same topics as the one at the V festival with Lauren Laverne but Zane gets his facts a bit muddled in places eg. Quarry going to number one. Anyway its nice to see Moz on there as throughout the programme they ask all the bands whether Moz will agree to the interview because he has apparently turned Zane down for the past 4 years. I don't know when it will be shown again but it will probably be very soon as MTV are always repeating stuff so keep an eye out!

in all honesty this is a very bad cover, but with it being a slow Moz news day I thought someone might enjoy viewing it.
