Q magazine published a "limited edition collector's special" issue called "The 100 Best Record Covers of All Time," and there's a very interesting section on the Smiths, which is basically all on Morrissey. It's a bit of a long article, but here are all the interesting parts:

I just wanted to let everyone know that Georgia State's college station, 88.5 WRAS Atlanta had Bryan Ferry of Roxy Music in the studio on Saturday. On the subject of Roxy Music's influence over modern bands Ferry stated, "I believe that sort-of sad chap, Morrissey, is a progeny of mine... though I don't think he is nearly as virile."

On another note he later added, "I'm fairly certain that Robert Smith, of the Cure, is a descendant somewhere down the line..."

Low wants to back Morrissey

Quote by Alan Sparhawk from Low:
"It would be interesting to back a solo artist--like Low being the band behind so-and-so, you know? We want to back up Morrissey. It would be really cool, but I think it would probably be really nerve-wracking."

"PANIC" on MTV show "Jackass"

Lots of people saw this one. gibby was the first:

On tonight's episode of Jackass (Apr. 15), they played "Panic" whilst Bam Margera rollerbladed around London, on the streets and the subway, wearing Union Jack underpants and tank top, falling around, screaming, pulling his pants down, and so on.... amazing.

Tonight I was doing my studies while the sadistic MTV show Jackass playing in the background. I surprisingly heard the very familiar opening chords of "Panic" begin. It played as the soundtrack to a segment which featured one of the show's participants dressed in a scanty Union Jack outfit, clumsily rollerskating about in the subways (or tube, I suppose) and streets of London. Nearly the entire song was played without an interuption through the whole segment and it actually seemed to fit in appropriately. Some fine exposure to any late night television viewer.

(Jackass was started by director Spike Jonze and a bunch of skater friends. From my experience with that specific demographic, the Smiths and Morrissey are ranked as a favorite among those who skateboard. Much respect to those with superior taste in the finer things in life.)
