Tour updates
From Fabio
D'Antonio:
Only
today it seems to be true after 14 years that Morrissey will
come back in Italy touring...
The club for Modena (3 Nov) is the Palasport (I think
about 5000 people capacity). For Milano I don't know...
As soon as possible I'll put on my web
site all the details for the Italian gigs, how to get
tickets, telephone numbers and all...
From Mark Deveney:
There is a lot of
crap going around, re: Moz in London, NONE OF THE
SHOWS ARE SOLD OUT!!
I literally bought 2 tickets this morning through 'firstcall'
booking agency for the Sun 14th Show...
PS: Its not got an
@Isle of Dogs' title here and uses the Southpaw cover as the
backdrop.
strange eh!!
From Luis M. Graça:
As you can imagine
it was nice when I first found out about the Porto-Portugal
gig but there´s something wrong. At your site the show is
on Oct. 31 but, at the Coliseum
site it´s placed for Oct. 29.
Who´s right?
I would definitely say the
venue's site is correct. That means the date for Madrid
(originally the 29th) must have changed also. Apart from the
original tour date announcements, I have not received any
updates from any sources close to the tour, so keep letting me
know if you find out anything new.
Regarding coverage of the tour on this site -- my plan
is that info for each show can be submitted via the tour page in the discussion board
format (right now it's set up for the first four shows). I
will then compile what is submitted there into summaries. In
1997 I compiled tour info from e-mail each night which worked
ok, but I could not keep up in some cases. Following the tour
through the internet is not quite the same thing as following
it in person, but for most the latter is impossible so I hope
you'll be able to contribute to the former when you can.
Adding to some of my frustrations are the site's downtimes
(the last one lasted from Sun. night til Mon. morning) -
problems with the ISP since their equipment upgrade last month
have not ended. I will continue switching ISPs but at the
moment I have been assured they are trying their best to fix
the problems.

Janeane Garofalo mentions The Smiths on "The Late Show"
From Peter Lynn:
During Janeane Garafolo's
appearance on Friday's "Late
Show" (or whatever the hell the program is called)
host Craig Kilborn, in an attempt to woo his guest, had his
audience sing out "Sweetness!" at her. Happily,
she finished the sentence with "... I was only joking
when I said" and immediately mentioned "Bigmouth
Strikes Again" as the title of the song she was
referencing.
She then went on to say that she can't listen to "How
Soon is Now?" without crying, because it reminds her of
her terrible years in college, when she was overweight at
160 lbs and unattractive enough to shield herself behind a
"goth" style of dress (which she deemed the refuge
of fat girls).

Electronic 'best of' coming soon?
From Shawn Marpoe:
I don't
know how much you keep track of Johnny's work but apparently
there is a "best of" album by Electronic coming
out in Japan sometime in November. That's according to a
record store here in Japan anyways...
