From Angela:

"MORRISSEY: búsqueda frenética"
from the newspaper: El Metropolitano - March 28, 2000

translates to "Morrissey Search (finding) Frenzy." My Spanish is awful, but from what I understood from the article is that Morrissey has checked into the Carrera Hotel under the name Eddie Riff. (He did that quite a bit during the Maladjusted tour too.) Lots of fans have been going by the hotel in search of him. The article quotes Gary, Spike and Debbie Dannell (sp). They both seem to be optimistic about the show to be preformed later tonight. Hopefully some native Spanish speakers that visit your site can do a better job of translating this.

"Morrissey de Paseo por El Cerro San Cristóbal"
From the Newspaper: El Mercurio March 28 2000

I have no idwa what the hell this says. They did however spell Boz´s name as "Booz" haha.

Link: Morrissey de Paseo por el Cerro San Cristóbal

Morrissey arrived around 8:15 am to Chile. Fans were expecting him. He didn't expect them so we walked across the airport and then the fans ran to see him. They touched him and Moz got a little nervous.

Link posted by Rod and Carmen: an exclusive streaming video of the first two songs of the Mexico City concert at El Foco.

First with the link to the review in "La Jornada" (Mar. 26) is Marc Duquet. Use Babel Fish for a rough translation.

The Return of Linderland officially opened on Friday at the Cornerhouse in Manchester. As reported previously it is a film and photographic representation of not so distant similarities between the people of Manchester and those depicted in spaghetti Westerns. Linder pulls of a fantastic Clint Eastwood impression in a few photos!

Incidentally, the camera work was credited to one Aaron Starkie who could have been seen in the car park behind Salisbury City Hall after the Morrissey show travelling at speed in a shopping trolley, while entertaining all with heartfelt renditions of many a Smiths classic. A bright future for the boy!

The exhibition is on until May and the Cornerhouse can be found on the corner of Oxford road and Whitworth Street.

From Esteban:

The Linder Sterling exhibition is running until early May and I suggest that any one in the North west of England visits it...

The images juxtapose gun-slinging cowboys against modern day gun-slinging gangsters, with Linder herself in the photos, dressed as Clint Eastwood, puffing on a cigarello... a book may well follow soon.

My weekly browse through the Siren CD site for new releases has produced this:

Singles 1988-1991 (10xCDS), BOX $79.99
10 disc collection includes 33 tracks includes singles from "Suedehead" to "Interesting Drug". Release Date: 15-May-00

The Siren people largely deal with imports, so it may be an "official" EMI release. Then again, it may be more like the unofficial "1988-1996" box set that popped up a few years ago.

Apparently a track by Elastica called 'My Sex' which features on their new album contains the lyric:

' What I want is a room with a three bar fire like the one you had before, when you were poor and I just liked you more'.

I don't know about you, but I feel a writ coming on!

According to the website www.rockontv.com Johnny Marr is going to be interviewed on an upcoming episode of "Behind The Music" featuring Oasis.

The show airs April 2 at 11am, 9pm, and 11:30 pm.

I have a new web site for collectible Morrissey / Smiths stuff plus also mp3 of the week. It's called "I Want The One I Can't Have".

Hey, my wife placed a "Morrissey Frustration" webpage on our personal website. Check it out...
