Mark Daley, the Britbeat writer at BBCAmerica, gives us his take on Morrissey's appeal. Also mentions Tokyo dates.

PLEASE DON'T STOP ME EVEN IF YOU'VE HEARD THIS ONE BEFORE

...But what is it about Morrissey? What makes him such an international man of influence? I really don't know, and God knows, I've thought about it enough.

A short note to let you know that (ex?) Divine Comedy singer Neil Hannon has quoted "Panic" and mentioned our lovely Steven when analysing tracks by Ballboy and Jonathan Richman at Gallery of Sound.

Even when the article is not significant at all, it was really nice to see one of my favourite composers valuing great artists as Him, J. Richman and Hefner (!)
