ARCANE OLD WARDROBE ends its run

Announcement from The Comtesse DeSpair:

I started Smiths Presumably Forever Ill and Motor Cycle Au Pair Boy (grouped together under the banner 'The Arcane Old Wardrobe') back in 1996. The sites were intended as a labor of love to share with other fans the articles and images I had ravenously collected since I first became a Smiths Apostle in 1984. Over the years, I've heard from many fans who expressed their appreciation for my little contribution to Moz fandom, and I have always held those kind words close to my heart.

However, it's time for me to admit that I don't have the energy or dedication to carry the torch of fandom any longer, or to keep this site remotely updated, and to turn over the reigns to those who do. I will be combining the interviews, reviews, and quotations from the site into Passions Just Like Mine. A new consolidated image gallery is also in the works, so don't despair.

Excerpt:

1. Girlfriend In A Coma by Douglas Coupland

Canadian writer Douglas Coupland gave the world Generation X, and he’s close to the perfect age to have been smitten in real time by The Smiths—and particularly Smiths singer/lyricist Morrissey, since both have made careers of words. Coupland titled his 1998 book Girlfriend In A Coma, after the Smiths song of the same name, and his story is indeed about a girlfriend in a coma. The book is also littered with other Smiths references, in case the title wasn’t obvious enough. A TV series based on the book has been in the works for a while; Christina Ricci was originally attached but has apparently moved on...

'Oh Lou / why did you leave us this way?'

No words to express the sadness at the death of Lou Reed. He had been there all of my life. He will always be pressed to my heart. Thank God for those, like Lou, who move within their own laws, otherwise imagine how dull the world would be. I knew the Lou of recent years and he was always full of good heart. His music will outlive time itself.
We are all timebound, but today, with the loss of liberating Lou, life is a pigsty.

called for six good mates and me
now we only call for three'

P.S... Not really a huge Smiths fan, but love William It Was Really Nothing, and the intro to Queen Is Dead.

Sweet holy Moses, that is above and beyond the call of duty. Amazing.
