I was just listening to 89.9 KCRW in the car on the way home (Los Angeles radio) and the announcer mentioned that Morrissey will be doing a guest DJ set for them on August 29th.

There is nothing on the website about it, but there are details of the guest DJ program, so perhaps more is to come.

"KCRW's Guest DJ Project invites an array of cultural icons to share and discuss songs that have inspired and moved them with KCRW DJs. Actors, authors, chefs, athletes, directors, tech entrepreneurs and more share their musical passions, giving deep insight into both their lives and their creative process. Check back each week for new sessions with notable guests in this ongoing exclusive feature. KCRW's Guest DJ Project also airs on our all-music channel during Anne Litt's Saturday show at 1pm, repeating Sunday morning at 1am."

Excerpt:

The credit crunch was cited as the reason for the recent cancellation of a dance music festival in Leeds. The website TheFilter.com recently said that the number of people listening to downbeat music from the likes of Morrissey and The Smiths has soared in the past months too. Heaven knows we're miserable now!"

Artist Nathan Sansom has made available 3 of his Morrissey + Marr silkscreen posters on eBay. I think they are gorgeous so I wanted to let you all know.
