I have the Jeff Buckley live in Chicago DVD, so I was surprised to find an 'uncut' version online, in which Jeff sings a short song in the style of Morrissey, at 18m 26s.

The Mozfather on the front page of CNN

There are those who are tired of Morrissey's bashing of the Royals and other established institutions, but I for one applaud his years of refusal.
Here's our kid on the front page of CNN!

Last Friday I spied a young man at the London 2012 Olympic Park sporting a 'Hatful of Hollow" T-shirt. Unexpected to say the least. I don't recall seeing any other band T-shirts. Well done sir!

Saw this on the latest email from one of the companies I purchase photos from:
Flor carpet tiles and a vintage purple armchair from Fab.com furnish the home of Bradford Shellhammer, in Sparrowbush, N.Y., Aug. 8, 2012. The four-bedroom getaway looks like a real-life representation of the Shellhammer's company website, Fab.com. (Trevor Tondro/The New York Times)

Fab.com founder Bradford Shellhammer decorates with Moz: http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/20...OCATION.html?ref=greathomesanddestinations#13.

He's also got a bunch of those cool Swiss-modern music poster remakes (the Gay trifecta of Erasure, DM, Pet Shop Boys): http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/20...OCATION.html?ref=greathomesanddestinations#18

I'm currently reading Doom Patrol, a six-volume series of graphic novels, published by DC Comics. It's a surrealist take on the superhero genre from the late 1980s/early 1990s, written by Grant Morrison, who has penned some of the best runs ever on Batman and X-Men, among others. So far, Doom Patrol has been littered with Smiths and Morrissey references, from a Morrissey poster on a character's bedroom wall, to direct quotes from Smiths' lyrics. Great stuff!

This isn't a strange or terribly unexpected Moz reference at all, but I found this photo I took while in Tijuana, Mexico back in May.

It was nice to see this while waiting in the long queue to get back into the USA.

That's excellent, CG!

For the "gearhead" fans, a brief new interview with Morrissey's front-of-house engineer Dave Millward.
Very technical, but still interesting.
