George Lamb's show is on between 22:00-01:00 GMT - not sure what time the Morrissey broadcast will be, but hope everyone manages to catch it.

You can find a review of the Morrissey show in Milwaukee May 12, 2007 at the following link:

The Guardian's "Film and Music" section runs a feature "Songs about...". This week it is about roads and streets. Morrissey is in there at 9 with Late Night, Maudlin Street.

"Morrissey's choice of Maudlin Street would be self-parodic were the song not so magnificent: a farewell to the site of lost love that is evocative, droll and moving".

To see the rest of the poll visit this link.

Personally I thought Morrissey should have done better and'Across 110th Street" By Bobby Womack should have been included.

This week on Sirius satellite radio, channel 22, Morrissey will be the featured artist, celebrating his tour and birthday.

I heard the announcement this past weekend.

On Richard Blade's show at 12pm Eastern Time/9am pacific and again repeated at 12am/9pm.

Channel 22 "First Wave" is a good station if you like what KROQ was know for in the 80's. Even some of the old dj's host the channel; Richard Blade, Freddy Snakeskin and the Swedish Egil.

The description from Sirius ch. 22:
"Hear the first wave of alternative music from the era that defined alternative. If you ever wore a skinny tie, had spiked hair, or pogoed to the beat, First Wave is for you. Don’t miss Fred Schneider of the B-52’s Party Out Of Bounds every Friday Night.

What we play: The Clash, The Cure, Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, Echo & the Bunnymen, Morrissey, New Order, The Police, Psychedelic Furs, The Ramones, REM, The Smiths, Squeeze, Tears For Fears, U2 and many more."

A part of "Girlfriend in a Coma" is even used a "promo" for the channel, "...it's really serious (Sirius)..."
