Today is the 50th anniversary of James Dean's death. Very 'Suedehead'. I already listened to it today as a memorial. He would have been 74!
---Belligerent Ghoul also writes: Fantastic article on James Dean, Morrissey mentioned:
Jimmy Dean, rock on - theage.com.au Was Dean the first teenager, or the first pop star, as Barney Hoskyns suggests. Morrissey of the The Smiths has written a book about him: Bob Dylan made a pilgrimage to Fairmount, Indiana, where Dean grew up. His name has been invoked, in song, by everyone from Madonna to Michelle Shocked, David Essex to the Eagles, Don McLean to Daniel Bedingfield...The band Green Day have acknowledged him as an inspiration for their song Boulevard of Broken Dreams...

From UK band brings musical variety - The News Record
...Though it's not retro music per se, this British rock band's fourth album, The Invisible Invasion, makes it very clear that these guys know who the Smiths are..."So Long Ago" is a song that bears the stamp of [The Smiths'] influence. With its mopey vocals and rockabilly instrumental, it could almost pass as a long lost B-side by the Smiths. The guitar playing is competent and at times impressive, though the vocals aren't nearly as good as Morrissey's....The Coral can also be less mopey than Morrissey... The Coral's main flaw is pretension, especially as it shapes their lyrics. They want to be like the Smiths, but sometimes that excessive effort backfires...

Update: 10/14 05:59 GMT: Quarrynight writes: CHANGE OF VENUE FOR QUARRY THIS SATURDAY
---The Quarry Morrissey/Smiths night in London this Saturday October 15th. Because of a last minute problem at the Extra Time Bar Quarry has had to move venues. The venue has made an error and managed to double book the venue with a drum and bass night. Quarry will now be at the Essence Bar which is at 2-5 Carthusian Street EC1. It is 2 minutes walk from Extra Time and 1 minute from Barbican Tube. When you come out of the tube station you turn left and it is on the first street you come to. http://www.essence-bar.com/where.htm I apologise for the late change but it is out of my hands. The Smyths will be playing at 10pm - 10,45pm and from 11,30pm - 12:15am. The doors will open at 8pm and will finish at 2am. Staff at The Extra Time will also be on hand to redirect you to the right venue. Advance tickets are still available via the web site for £8 and entry at the door will be £10. Advance tickets will be available until 12 noon on Saturday. http://www.quarrynight.com Thank you for your support Mike Quarrynight writes: The next Quarry Morrissey/Smiths night in London will be on Saturday October 15th at The Extra Time Bar in the Barbican.
