Hi,

If you go on www.morrisseymusic.com now, you will see just a "MMVI" and an invitation to subscribe a mailinglist.

"MMVI" means "2006" in roman letters... logical because Moz is in Rome, no??)

A new site, for a new album?

The upcoming Nov. 15 reissue of the Eurythmics' "We Too Are One" contains a cover of the Smiths' "Last Night I Dreamt Somebody Loved Me".

All 8 albums are being reissued with bonus tracks and one cover version per album.

Details: Eurythmics reissues.

According to this month's Q Magazine, which features a thumbnail shot of Morrissey on the cover (circa 1984, complete with flowers in the foreground), Morrissey comes in at number 6 in this poll. Ahead of him are: Paul Heaton (The Beautiful South), Brian May, Dido, Sir Cliff Richard and Lou Reed.

Seems like the silly season isn't yet over.

There is a story about the new album on xfm.co.uk.

Check it out.

Morrissey Reveals New Album Details - XFM Online

Last night, 05 Oct 2005, on HBO's comedy program ONE NIGHT STAND, stand-up comedian Omid Djalili, performed (episode ONE NIGHT STAND 62: OMID DJALILI).

Near the very end of the show, (last 5 minutes or so) Omid is commenting on his observations of Iranian men dancing at the disco (Omid is a British-born Iranian). He performs various parodies on men dancing at the disco. In one of his descriptions he says something to the effect of "this one is a cross of an Iranian man and Morrissey dancing", and then he a "dance about the stage imitating Morrissey on stage" where Morrissey waves his arms around and twisting and turning.

It was familiar of Morrissey's actions, but it was more interesting to hear Morrissey's name mentioned and the audience response to his "dance"; that they actually may have known who Morrissey was.

Omid Djalili's performance is on HBO on Demand through 20 Nov 2005. I checked the regular HBO schedule for him, but do not see this episode playing again this month.

Comedy taste is an individual thing, I am not endorsing this program or HBO, just informing of the Morrissey reference.

On Saturday 15th October, ‘The Other Smiths’ will be at Salford Lads Club from 1pm to support ‘The Big Draw’ project aimed at getting young people interested in drawing, painting and the arts in general.

Went to see 3rd Eye Blind at a club on Long Island this past weekend, and this 3 piece band named The Upwelling opened for them. As the band was ready to play the lead singer says "Because if it's not love then it's the bomb that will bring us together!" I don't think many people picked up on it, but they went right into their opening song, and it was not The Smiths or Moz ! but they were a good band......VIVA MOZ !
