    That's right. I pass that lane quite regularly. He's looking well!

    Fretsore Records / YouTube: Dana Gillespie - Spent The Day In Bed (Official video)

    I don't like the sentiment. It's a bouncy song and only the David Ikeness of the lyric puts me off. But the phrasing and the lyric is solid. The news contrives to frighten you is a great line. Anyway I watched the whole thing and enjoyed it. Despite the obvious that's not a bed issue.

    A Place To List Our "Demands" Regarding Everything M-Related

    Continue the rerelease programme for the Smiths please. A Strangeways box set with outtakes. An as-planned Harvey Keitel version sleeve for the demos disc. Oh sorry is this a Morrissey-only demand list 😅

    Radio Ulster: Give The Smiths Back To The Irish (November 26, 2023)

    That's not even a picture of the Smiths. That, if I'm not mistaken, is Morrissey on TOTP doing Last of the Famous International Playboys, backed by Craig Gannon, Andy and Mike...

    Mojo: brief Johnny Marr interview (issue 350 "January, 2023")

    Sounds like Queen talking to Sacha Baron Cohen about the Freddie biopic. It's a great story with this really sad event half way through.

    Morrissey Central "Las Vegas, 2022" - Vegas shows to showcase songs from "Bonfire of Teenagers" (May 20, 2022)

    Yeah, that cover is a lot better. Agree the font is bad, and not very clear. But I'll take it. The back cover is fantastic.

    The Smiths A-Z: "Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me"

    Amazing beautiful song. One of their very best. I always imagined Mary Coughlan singing this, in her bluesy style.

    "Suedehead" (Original Instrumental) posted by RetroMusicWorld / YouTube (March 13, 2022)

    Totally agree. Would love to hear the Street tapes to get a feel for where a song like Suedehead was going before Vinny made his contribution. I think he was going to release them at some point to counter Vinny's claims that he should have had a credit.

    "Suedehead" (Original Instrumental) posted by RetroMusicWorld / YouTube (March 13, 2022)

    Amazing track. You can hear a few additional Vinny Reilly flourishes buried in the mix. What a musical combination that was. Did Street ever compose anything after Morrissey? Any co-writes? Would dearly love to see some behind the scenes of the production of this record. Thanks to whoever...

    The Smiths A-Z: "I Started Something I Couldn't Finish"

    Contrary to much of the album, the lyrics are better than a rather discordant tune. Hair brushed and parted. Do I dare to eat a peach?
