Morrissey: Who Put the "M" in Manchester? - March 6- PREMIERE It's Manchester, it's Morrissey, it's his birthday and the first time he's been home for twelve years. Filmed in May 2004 in his hometown, this live show, shot in HD, brings to life one of the UK's most colorful artists. Performing a mixture of classic songs and new tracks from his Album, You Are The Quarry, this really is Morrissey captured at his very best. The former front man of seminal eighties band, The Smiths, who were recently voted No.1 in the NME's poll of the Greatest Artists of All Time plays Manchester's MEN Arena where he performs his first solo album in seven years. Tracks include: Irish Blood English Heart, First of the Gang to Die and There is a Light That Never Goes Out. http://hd.net/index.html

Show: Music Express
Episode: Morrissey
Network: (OVA) OVATION * The Arts Network
Date: Saturday - March 5, 2005
Time: 11/10c PM
Duration: 1:00

About: Music Express: Morrissey
The alternative rock artist speaks with Dave Fanning about his music, his latest album and his characteristically cynical lyrics. Morrissey first enjoyed success as lead singer of The Smiths, the influential British indie band of the 1980s. It wasn't until he went solo in 1987 that his underground cult status in the U.S. grew to a point where he was more popular here than in his homeland. "You are the Quarry" is the singer's first new work in seven years and the first since relocating to Los Angeles.

Hilary Duff has defiled the ironically disastrous alcoves normally reserved for downtown New York’s finest assymetrical haircuts! In what can only be described as a painful fit of post-punk partying, Miss Liquid Ice spent Friday night asserting her hipster cred and spacing out to Joy Division at East Village inferno Lit. This only prepared her for Saturday night, where she graced the weekly Misshapes party with her DJ skills. (She played a lot of Smiths, we hear, and we bet she made friends with Queen Leigh Lezark. But did she use the bathrooms? That’s the real question.) So, um, what the fuck? How could bubbly clean Duff invade these smoke-filled, drug-oozing dens of indie sin? And, more importantly, what will Disney think?

On that note, all of you art students should probably head to Queens. Lizzie McGuire just killed your identity.

UPDATE: Our informants tell us that it’s worse than we thought: last night, the Duffster hit the Motherfucker brouhaha to catch Bloc Party before making her way over to Morrissey night at Sway. And then, she got a lifetime subscription to Spin and ate six pairs of legwarmers.

I was reading an interview (Jan. 15 2005) on www.ghosttigers.com w/Nick 13 lead singer of Tiger Army and he mentioned that YATQ is the best album of 2004. Not to mention that He also said that He would love to see The Smiths get back together. They are a great Psychobilly band. And are really Influenced by The Smiths/Moz. Check them out. If you have the chance to check them out live go and see them.

Maxim's March 2005 issue makes a brief mention of Moz, with a recent small head shot picture of the man, in its top ten male virgins list. I'm happy to report that Moz at #9 beat out Clay Aiken, who ranked #10.

The caption reads:
"The sad singer said he was celibate, but adds it now applies "only on Christmas and bank holidays."

Cheers!

There's a three-page interview with Interpol's bass player, Carlos D (Carlos Dengler), who is also a dj. In it, he mentions the timing of spinning The Smiths' classic song.
http://www.urb.com/cover/carlosd.shtml

Interviewer(Scott T. Sterling): You just have a different kind of skill. We could talk about technique versus programming. It's like Gilles Peterson. He's extremely acclaimed, but it's about his selection, not his mixing abilities.

Carlos D: That's exactly what my idea of being a DJ is. I'm almost anti-skills in a way. For me, a DJ's most important asset is their ability to respond to a crowd, to sense what they're expecting and what they want to hear. The DJ might want to play, "How Soon is Now?" by The Smiths at a certain point, but if you're sensing that the crowd doesn't want to hear it and you play it anyway, you're going to kill the party. I think a DJ's job is to be the temperature gauge of the party. You're the force between the crowd and the music, guiding the two together.
