The Bookseller has a short article this week about a new series published by Serpent's Tail:

"Mancunian post-punk band The Fall will be the first subject in a series of short story anthologies inspired by rock and pop bands".

The article goes on to say that there will be six titles in all and the subjects decided on so far are Sonic Youth, The Ramones and The Smiths.

However, this is a very advance warning, as the next book won't be released until April 2008 and that will be the Sonic Youth anthology. So I guess we can look forward to The Smiths one sometime in 2009.

You can see The Fall anthology here.

Mark E Smith has written the foreword, so I assume that when it gets round to putting The Smiths one together, the publishers will ask Morrissey to scribble an introduction.

Morrissey came up as a topic in an online interview with stars of the upcoming film, Reno 911! Lt. Dangle shares his enthusiasm for Moz.

AVC: Lieutenant Dangle, in the film, you wear a pretty well-worn Morrissey shirt as part of your civvies. How long have you been a Morrissey fan?

JD: I've been a lifelong Morrissey enthusiast. I've written a lot of cards and letters to him. I haven't gotten any response back, and he's my number two of my top eight friends on MySpace. On the other side, I've looked at his MySpace, and I somehow have not made his top eight. So I don't know if this is kind of a one-way street we've got going here, but Mr. Morrissey, Steven—if I may call you that—if you are reading this interview, you could do me the solid of putting me in your top eight.

Full interview:

Lieutenant Jim Dangle and Deputy Travis Junior of Reno 911! - A.V. Club
