Quote from Isle Of Wight festival organiser John Giddings:

“I find it very disappointing. These artists don't seem to have a responsibility to their audience. Morrissey pulled out two weeks before the festival [in 2005], claiming he was never booked, and he told us he didn't have a drummer.

“I offered him Phil Collins and he still said he wouldn't do it, but Travis replaced him and they were absolutely phenomenal."

The Smiths at number 22

22. The Smiths, "I Know It's Over"
"Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head," wails our man Morrissey in one of The Smiths' finest, saddest moments. Your goth girlfriend might want this one played at her funeral, but relatives won't be comfortable with the imagery—or the moaning. Sure, they want to give you a proper burial, but they don't want to picture dirt covering your lifeless body. Not for you, my love. Not tonight, my love.

We recommend a dash of The Postal Service, followed up with a few tunes from The Polyphonic Spree or The Flaming Lips. Be warned: Side effects may include uncontrollable smiling.

Luis Tosar dice que lo que me mueve es el impulso visceral, más que lo racional - terra

Spleen known that night 'Russian', a woman who fits into one of the three things that this man likes in life: 'the writer galician Ramon Maria del Valle-Inclan, the British music group The Smiths and flequillo bad with girls'.

He explained that, unlike other characters that has embodied, Spleen is' much more external 'and considered' a big challenge 'as' perhaps I specialized in introspective characters with internal problems and not exteriorizaban tormented'.

He added that this facet 'is also part of me, the nervousness that emerges from it, but so far had not had an opportunity to show it.

Tosar defined the film, which will begin filming next Monday August 6 in Santiago de Compostela, as a''road movie 'errant' and specified that all the action takes place during a night in which, after three months continuous rain, rain stops.
