Danish association ANIMA2 for animal rights is auctioning an autographed Morrissey ROTT poster.

Though it´s in danish, the most relevant is the poster and the lyrics (handwritting) of Morrissey of "meat is murder"
And I just found out that it´s actually just a translation of a previous PETA interview with Morrissey that you can read here.

Well then it might not be the biggest news but the poster is cool.

I was pleasantly surprised to see a photo of the man himself in the May issue of Juxtapoz.

The Bootle Bruisers got a good snap of Morrissey as he entered the venue in Llandudno last week!

He stopped to chat for a few seconds and shook hands with half a dozen fans. He saw the new tour flag and laughed before saying to me “I’m not signing that because you will put it for sale on e-bay” ! (As if I would!). Anyway all our snaps from Llandudno are now on www.thereisalight.co.uk for anyone interested.

Excerpt from Kristeen Young's mailing list:

The current issue of the German photography/style magazine ZOO features some nice Morrissey images - plus a full Morrissey cover page.

The pictures are made by photographer Bryan Adams.

It costs 5,- Euro here at the newsagent and is still available, it's a 6-page feature altogether.

"They Catch him, and they say he's mental"
The British Film Institute has just released a definitive collection of films from the 1950s' Free Cinema movement. Free Cinema was the precursor for the better known British New Wave of social-realist films in the late 1950s and early 1960s.

The set includes We Are the Lambeth Boys, which any true Morrissey fan will know was sampled in Vauxhall and I's "Spring Heeled Jim".

Amazon UK is selling it here

One last question : is “Steven Smith” really a sort of tribute to Morrissey?

“Can you believe that you’re the first person to ask me that ? I’ve read many reviews that have flat out stated that it is, but nobody has bothered to ask me. My answer in short is : yes. They were right.”

The Organ (re)released my favourite album of last year with "Grab that gun". The influence of Morrissey is prevelant in the passionate vocals and emotional lyrics, whilst the ghosts of Johnny Marr and The Cure permeate the guitars.

Steven Smith and two other album tracks can be heard here: http://www.myspace.com/theorgan
