John Ajvide Lindqvist : Monsters, magic and Morrissey Excerpt: His devotion to British singer Morrissey and The Smiths is another ingredient he weaves into all his stories. Let the Right One In refers to Morrissey's song, "Let the Right One Slip In", as well the myth of vampires needing to be invited into homes. "I need them as emotional equipment for what I'm writing ... I know that this chapter should sound or have the feel as this song by Morrissey or The Smiths ... it somehow sets the pace with the quote ... I use it to push myself on," he says, adding he includes quotes from his poet wife too. A real-life encounter doesn't appeal though. "*A Swedish newspaper* wanted me to interview him and I said yes, because I couldn't say no, but I didn't really want to do it ... you shouldn't meet your idols."

Theophilus London “Humdrum Town” Excerpt: “Humdrum Town” is the latest digital single from the Green Label Sound project and finds London again paying titular homage to Morrissey & Co., this time in the form of a copped lyric from “William, It Was Really Nothing.” London’s track also sneaks in some of that song’s melancholy; “Humdrum Town” is a hip-hop banger that is too sedate for the dance floor, a chill-out equivalent for the rap-loving hipster set. At times, gauzy synthesizers stretch themselves out slowly like yoga poses behind London’s vocals, while other passages make way for more animated drum machines and staccato synth pin pricks. Fans of The Cool Kids, Spank Rock, and even Top 40 fiends like Kanye and Kid Cudi will be drawn in by Theophilus London’s unique mystique.
