What is the "Isle Of Dogs"? Checking some of the comments left in a previous news item provides some insight from those familiar with the area:

• Isle of Dogs is a tough part of East London. A few years ago it voted in a British National Party member as a local councillor (who didn't keep his seat for long).

• Expect more minor controversy here in England with that tour title, The Isle Of Dogs. As the only other Brit has already pointed out in a message earlier, the connotations are too grim to bear.
  
  Commemorating the name of a fiercely racist part of London is not, I must state, tantamount to endorsing the loony right but at the same time it just seems to be another needless attempt to court sensationalism. C'mon Mozzer.

• The Isle of Dogs doesn't only have racist connotations; it also houses Canary Wharf and the Docklands which are business / enterprise districts with modern office blocks and chic restaurants and cafes...

The Oasis rhythm guitar man, Bonehead, has left the band... a large article in The Sun newspaper the day after the story broke (11/8/99) states that Noel Gallagher is chasing Johnny Marr to be the replacement...

And from elsberry.

According to the Daily Star (British Newspaper) J.Marr is gonna replace "Bonehead" who just left Oasis. Hahaha.

I'm not sure if it's come up before or not, but I stumbled onto this site that has an mp3 of Sinéad O'Connor covering "The Hand That Rocks The Cradle" (live). Thought it might be of interest to anyone looking for Moz / Smiths related mp3's.
