Don't know if this has been on here before. Slight Morrissey mention in NME about a band (that unfortunately I've never heard of) called 'The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart' - what a mouthful! :
Writing about the band’s debut album in a four star review, NME said: “This time last year it was as if someone had been leaving copies of ‘Graceland’ in every thrift-store in Brooklyn. Now it seems like someone has come across a job lot of NME’s legendary ‘C86’ tape of fey indie bands, because they’re all at it – Vivian Girls, Crystal Stilts and now this lot.
“Everything from the oh-so-twee name to singer Kip Berman’s affected English accent screams wrong, but it sounds so right; a bit of Mary Chain here, a withering Moz-esque turn of phrase there and a lot of early, jangly My Bloody Valentine everywhere else. But it’s much more than the sum of its parts and too effortlessly effervescent to be studied. Pure indie-pop to hold close to your heart.”

Passing Morrissey mention in a review of a recent Squeeze concert in the Barbican York:
"We Brits have had some great songwriting partnerships – Lennon and McCartney, Jagger and Richards, Morrissey and Marr to name a few – and Difford and Tilbrook are up there with the very best..." - https://www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/24666185.review-squeezes-50th-anniversary-tour-york-barbican/

Review for Rotherham Advertiser by Phil Turner of musical comedy, We're Not Going Back, about the 80s miners strikes, playing in Barnsley Civic Theatre, with a Smiths theme.
Excerpt:
"[During the strikes] women's lives changed the most - picketing, organising food kitchens, fundraising, from never speaking in public to addressing thousands in packed support meetings.
And that's the essence captured in this revival of Boff Whalley's musical comedy play.
The title means women definitely not going back to cooking and cleaning.
It's a celebration of the thousands of women who played a crucial role in the strike, launching the national Women Against Pit Closures.
Their stories - maybe fact, maybe fiction, maybe apocryphal or embellished - are told through the lives of three sisters, Olive, Mary and Isabel, as their world changes forever.
For church-going Olive it's a difficult journey, joining her husband Eddie on strike from her office job at the National Coal Board, she witnesses police brutality at Orgreave, where she'd innocently taken a picnic expecting a nice day out.
"This is war," the three sing after hearing her account.
And class war it was, with 160,000 miners and families on one side and Tory prime minister Margaret Thatcher, the state and police on the other.
And despite everything 120,000 were still out when the strike ended in March 1985.
As a miner's son who also reported the strike, it's a familiar, powerful and enjoyable retelling of the strike 40 years on - with some great songs and music.
Chumbawumba band member Whalley's piece is a warm tribute to the likes of WAPC's Betty Cook and others, like Ann Scargill.
The sisters set up and run their own WAPC branch in the fictional mining village – making speeches, Mary finds, is just "talking only louder."
But the strike is also a matter of life and death.
The most poignant moment comes at the funeral of youngsters killed picking coal to heat homes. 'What Price Coal?' they movingly sing.
Rachel Gray's Olive is strong, determined and learning fast - the vicar at her church won't let her collect for the strike so she does her own bit of redistribution.
Her Eddie's graduation to gourmet cook adds comedy but perhaps conveys too light a touch to a year of baked beans with everything for many.
Keeley Fitzgerald perfectly captures Mary's tough vulnerability, as husband Vinnie takes to going fishing, while she keeps everything going working on the Kwiksave fish counter.
Daisy Ann Fletcher. playing Isabel the youngest of the three, shifts from cynical to committed - especially after her sisters get her tickets to see her favourite band The Smiths (yes, Morrissey and all) doing a strike benefit..."

See how the outside contradicts what's inside?
Indeed.. It's getting quite obnoxious at this point.
