I just heard a quick snippet of a radio interview with Johnny Marr on the Tom Dunne radio show on Today FM (Ireland).

When asked if he'd reform with Moz at Coachella he joked "Yeah, we're gonna reform tomorrow." He went on to say something along the lines of:

"I barely have time to hang around with the musicians I like these days... The idea of playing with someone I used to hang around with years ago seems ludicrous to me."

Ok... some more info on the Santa Barbara show.. Called the Arlington Theater (805-963-4408) just now..

Tix will go on sale Saturday, September, 4th at NOON (12pm). Prices are $41.00 and $28.00 (service charges ARE NOT included if you plan to purchase thru Ticketmaster)...

The venue seats 2000 and get this... El Vez (The Mexican Elvis) will be the opening act!!! Yes, the rumors were true.

Just thought I'd let you know what happened at the House of Blues Los Angeles last night, August 30th.

"This is a song from a group who are no longer around to play it themselves live."

With that introduction, Billy Bragg began his acoustic cover of "Jeane" by, of course, The Smiths. The interesting thing was that later backstage Bragg told us he heard that Morrissey himself had worked his way backstage during the performance. Bragg's guitar player (Lu Edmonds, I believe) had talked to Morrissey during Billy's solo set. Morrissey made mention that his Porsche was recently stolen from the driveway of his rented home.

The cover was brilliant.

It may be old news, but I don't recall ever seeing this on the site. I was out sick Thursday and Friday of last and when I returned to the office, there was an envelope with my name on it. In the mystery package were some photocopies of a book. The book is called "The Persistance, Ten Years of Pop Culture That Shook the World" by Armond White. In several chapters, the author mentions Morrissey in live performances such as Morrissey's first Madison Square Garden concert, that chapter is called "Asian Rut Indeed."

The book was first published in 1995 by The Overlook Press, Lewis Hollow Road, Woodstock, NY 12498
