A friend of mine gave me a link to this comic by someone named Kit Sparkle, who is in her own words an enormous Morrissey fan. Anyway, I thought it interesting enough to share.

    The Lowry has invited MDMArchive to work with them on an exciting photography exhibition entitled Rock: A Retrospective Of Jane Bown's Rock and Pop Portraits (1963 - 2003), which opens to the public on July 7th. Spanning five decades of musical history, the exhibition include stunning portraits of Morrissey, the Beatles, Keith Richards, Joan Baez, Donovan, Cher, Sinead O’ Connor, Boy George, Bjork, Jarvis Cocker and PJ Harvey. The show also features a specially commissioned photograph of Doves.

    Set in a magnificent waterside location at the heart of the redeveloped Salford Quays in Greater Manchester, The Lowry is an architectural flagship with a unique and dynamic identity. Rising from the regenerated docklands, it is a welcoming building, designed to reflect the surrounding landscapes and flourishing waterways, in its glass and metallic surfaces.

    There is a New Wave article and Timeline in the July 2005 issue of Blender (Shakira is on the cover). It mentions The Smiths 'This Charming Man' single is the #12 Greatest New Wave Single Ever (Gary Numan's Cars was #1). The Smiths are also mentioned in the "Haircuts With Guitars" circle along with the Cure and U2. It reads, "The Smiths brought a new vocabulary to underground rock- both Marr's lacy guitar heroics and Morrissey's homophilic language and wrist-to-fore-head yodel.

    Little Barrie delivers soul, not slickness - The Boston Globe

    Excerpt:

    ...Growing up in Nottingham, England, Cadogan discovered vintage 45s owned by his uncle. He was instantly moved by the music of Wilson Pickett, Otis Redding, and later Chuck Berry and B.B. King. Around the same time, he got his first guitar, although he quickly realized that soul music wasn't the most likely place for a budding guitar virtuoso. (His guitar skills are so admired, he played on Morrissey's ''You Are the Quarry" tour when the singer's regular guitarist got sick. To prepare for the gig, Cadogan learned more than two dozen songs in two days...

    from Cinematical online:
    The Bujalski-Morrissey Connection

    As if we needed another reason to love Andrew Bujalski - in a recent interview with Reverse Shot's Michael Koresky the filmmaker actually manages to namecheck Morrissey without sounding in pretentious or maudlin. When Koresky opens the discussion by asking Bujalski if he was setting out to break new ground with his first film, Funny Ha Ha, Bujalski demurs, "That’s very nice to hear...I did have a sense, as we did Funny Ha Ha, that it would at the very least be somehow unique. I often think of this great Morrissey lyric, from “Hand in Glove”: “No it’s not like any other love/ This one is different because it’s ours.” In a way, he's actually anticipating a critique that is not really being made (at least, not by Koresky): "On the one hand I knew that there were a million film students churning out pieces about youthful confusion and ennui, and that any capsule description of Funny Ha Ha would make it sound awful, ­­but I figured this one is different because it’s ours." And, really - is there any tangible explanation for why that film works, other than a magical mix of chemistry and timing and over-all serendipity? Call it the Bujalski Touch.
