Link to Sept. 7 Billboard news item from Dan:

Morrissey Videos Land On DVD"

Excerpt:
"¡Oye Esteban!" also sports seldom-seen videos from Morrissey's more recent recorded output, such as "The Boy Racer," "Dagenham Dave," and "Sunny," previously available as a multimedia track on Reprise's "My Early Burglary Years" compilation. A live version of "Will Never Marry," previously available on the "Live In Dallas" VHS, is also included.

Per writes: Micke at Arenan in Stockholm that earlier has booked Moz for December 2 in Gothenburg says he has also booked Morrissey for December 1 in Stockholm.

I have not heard anything about these shows or the ones that were booked in the US and then cancelled. They may have been booked by Morrissey's tour agent without his knowledge.

"Of all places to be recognized, Ikea" was the response from his female companion, "If I would have thought that I would be recognized, I would have shaved" was the response from Alain. (Ikea in Burbank, CA, is a furniture store.) I noticed him walking towards me, but it didn't hit me until he came closer, "Mr. Alain Whyte," I called. He stopped and I introduced myself, I asked how everything was, and I asked about an upcoming tour, he said something about a show in Texas that was booked but Morrissey didn't approve. He did say to expect a new CD (I can't remember all his exact words I was in shock). I told him I didn't want to take his time, he was very thankful and kind, he signed a card I had in my pocket with a thank you and best wishes from Alain Whyte "Mozzer's axeman". It was a real coincidence - I thought about wearing my "Moz Angeles" shirt but didn't and was shopping for a frame for my Morrissey sketch. We both said thank you and "were shaking hands so politely".

James Dean Bradfield and Noel Gallagher recently revealed to 2 UK magazines about how The Smiths' music influenced them when they were youngsters.

James D Bradfield in Melody Maker:
"For me, it was more for Johnny Marr's guitar playing. I had 'This Charming Man' and learned to play it and everyone was like 'He's the best guitar player in Poltlanfraith'."

Noel Gallagher in NME:
"This song [Asleep] from this band has probably influenced me more than any in this group. The song is actually about suicide, which I only found out in my later years. I didn't get it was about suicide at the time - I thought it was about going to sleep. But there you go."
