The swedish magazine Sonic, released every second month, has got a Swedish exclusive interview with Morrissey.

Morrissey appears on the cover and there's a seven pages article/interview. They also rank the Smiths and the Morrissey albums.

The magazine will go out to subscribers today (friday) and will probably be in Swedish stores in the beginning of next week.

Morrissey detained in LAX terror swoop
By John Lettice
Published Thursday 22nd April 2004 17:04 GMT
Leading miserabilist and former Smiths front-man Neil Morrissey has fallen foul of the Homeland Security dragnet, according to BBC radio reports. It is not yet clear whether or the US officials involved had listened to Meat is Murder, or whether they thought they had a match on notorious Manchester terror mastermind Anwar al-Morrissey.

Morrissey is now a resident of Los Angeles, and was reportedly detained for some time at LAX airport. The BBC quotes him as saying that there was some problem with his passport, and that he was briefly suspected of being a terrorist. But he'll have been used to that in his musical career. And now he'll have one of those letters from the Department of Homeland Security saying he's not - but we doubt that'lll cheer him up much.

In related news, the European Parliament has narrowly voted, by 276 to 260, to reject the European Commission's deal on the transfer of airline passenger records to the US. The Parliament had already deemed the protection in the deal "inadequate". The Commission has constructed the agreement in such a way that it does not need Parliament's agreement for it to go ahead, but Parliament has asked member states not to implement the agreement in their own law until The European Court of Justice has ruled on the subject. ®

Name is now fixed on the Register site. Looks like they just pulled the info from the NME interview that was just published.

Update: 04/24 16:37 GMT: as posted in the comments, David Johansen will be opening in NY, not the full reformed New York Dolls.

Checking at the Elefant page. It says that they´ll be supporting Morrissey for the Friday 23rd and Saturday 24th L.A. shows at the Wiltern.

Elefant is a band based in NYC, Lead singer/songwriter Diego Garcia is Argentinean born (then moved to Detroit, MI) with great influences from the 80´s british music.
Their first CD is pretty good.

Mitch Benn's Crimes Against Music, a BBC Radio 4 comedy programme, included a sequence on Smiths fandom, including a Smiths parody song.

Theoretically, it should be possible to hear this song on the web at:

However, the relevant link brings up the wrong comedy show (The Museum of Everything which is spectacularly unfunny). Perhaps if we email the BBC they will correct the link.
