Rising Star: Russell Brand - Access Hollywood
he talks about morrissey giving him advice on the role at the very end. thought you'd enjoy moz's advice. Excerpt: In addition to his talents, Brand proved he’s in acting for the long haul, going method and seeking advice from real rock stars before taking on the role. “I sought the advice of Morrissey from the Smiths [and] of Noel Gallagher from the band Oasis and then I just used my mind,” he explained. “Noel is a great wit… I said, ‘Come on, ‘How do I make this rock star sexy and appealing ‘I said, the [one way] is probably to keep them as far away from you and your scruff-haired brother [Oasis frontman Liam], as humanly possible. He agreed that would be the best way to characterize Aldous Snow.” And the former Smiths frontman’s advice? “Morrissey said maintain a sense of evasiveness and aloofness,” Brand noted. Morrissey wasn’t aloof when he was one of the lucky few to catch the breakout star Brand’s first ever American stand-up dates in Los Angeles last week. He came to both sets (giving Brand a standing ovation each time), and Brand expects Moz to attend a screening of “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” too.

Previously unseen Morrissey pics! Guys there is a thread in the download section but really I think it warrants a post of its own. Since some of you might not pop over into that section. Really lovely to see some photo's we have not seen before.
many thanks to Everyday I Like Sundae http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZZRdNjwnr8

For the second time this week the Smiths were mentioned on National Public Radio (NPR). Today the band Vampire Weekend was talking about the music they like and the music that influenced them. In addition to being heavily influenced by different kinds of music from Africa, they were influenced by the Smiths. In fact, the Smiths were mentioned twice in the news story.

I attended the Spoon show last night here in Indianapolis (The Vogue). It was a great show and the crowd was excellent. Anyway, I pulled out my vintage "Louder Than Bombs" Smiths Tshirt for the occasion. Bought a couple of Spoon shirts at the show during the warm up act and was taking them to my car out back of the venue (and right past the Spoon tour bus). The bass player (Rob Pope) was standing by the bus as I walked by and he looked at my shirt and nodded. The show was great, and as the last song of their encore?? None other than Panic. What an awesome song to close a show. Didn't know they fans, but hey you don't learn a song and perform it live if you aren't. Add them to the list.

Cash Cab episode calls out Moz lookalike ---
Myself and a friend were recently on an episode of Cash Cab on the Discovery Channel. We used our street shout out, and happened to get a guy that looked like Morrissey, and called him out on it. It's towards the end... a. mailliard writes:
