Strange/unexpected Moz references?

[Morning Star]

In Mark Steel's lecture on Oliver Cromwell, there are two Moz references. In a shot concerning Cromwell's depression, the second lowest rating is 'Morrissey'. In another scene, 'Irish Blood...' is playing in the background.

Morrissey on Shameless(T.V)

Just watched next weeks episode on E4 and there is a storyline in which the two doppey brothers start a Tour of the manchester music scene. They go down to the Lads club and Stop me is playing on the radio. Next he says The Smiths met here and always come down for inspiration....then a bike cycles past and he proclaims its morrissey. The Morrissey(one of the brothers) equipt with a quiff, then gets of his bike and starts swinging flowers around, whilst the people on the tour take photos, he then cycles off and then Shaun Ryder(the real one) walks round the corner. Very Very Funny

Didn't Johnny Marr write the music for this show?

'Please let me get...' on BBC1's Waterloo Road

Who was doing the version of the song that was just on at the end of this TV show tonight, anyone?

The voice was familiar, just can't pin it down (probably due to the dramatic ending of the show).

Thanks

I haven't seen it but was it Muse? I know they did a cover version of that.

It was an awful cover! It def wasn't Muse. It was a female (or two females) singing. Not that I watch Waterloo Road...

Re: 'Please let me get...' on BBC1's Waterloo Road

Take your pick!
From Wiki:

Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want" is a song originally performed, written and released by British group The Smiths, featured on the compilation albums Louder than Bombs and Hatful of Hollow. It has been covered by several artists, including The Decemberists, Halo Benders, The Dream Academy, OK Go, Deftones, Elefant (band), Emilie Autumn, Amanda Palmer, Hootie & the Blowfish, Muse, Kaia Wilson and Kate Walsh.

This seems a strange place for my query to get moved to but...whatever, I wasn't sure if it was in the right place.

Anyway, no, Jose, I don't think it's any of those you list - thanks anyway.

Like Sharon Needles says, it was a female (single I think, not two). She sounded a lot like (and this is gonna make me sound a saddo to some) one of the finalists from The X-Factor this year. Think the girl was called Diana - a young (17?) white blonde who was herself a little reminiscent of the style of Dolores from Cranberries and that kind, but not as strong.

I'm not saying it was great or anything like that - just interested and of course it's always good to hear the song again.

I thought that as well - via wikipedia and you tube - it sounded like her, but I couldn't find any links to the track.

Her forum looks busy...

Re: \next weeks Shameless

it was a surprise to see a extract of the wrestling with russell interview in russell's concert program. he also played 7 smiths songs before he went on. made my night.

The songs were the best part of the show. Russell is not capable of 75 mins of stand up... me, me, me, my dick, me, me, me, deep throat, me, my dick, blah. Boo. Ponderland is FUNNY, that show I found boring after the first 20 mins.
