Browsing through the latest biography of Siouxsie and The Banshees at an HMV store, I came across an interesting piece about Mozzy on page 216 concerning the collaboration between him and Siouxsie on the song 'Interlude' and the obligatory video back in '94.

"September 2003 - 80s pop icon Adam Ant has just returned to the studio for the first time in six years to record a new version of his hit single Stand and Deliver, which he has renamed Save the Gorilla, with the royalties from sales going to the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund."

"It was written and recorded in one day - in one take - and features exceptional guitar work by Boz Boorer. "

From http://www.adam-ant.net/whatsnew.html . Sounds fab.

To aid the Dian Fossey Highland Gorilla Fund, Adam and Boz Boorer are presently recording a remake of the single, Stand and Deliver, but this time with changed lyrics to Save the Gorillas.

In the October issue of Spin Magazine there is a full page story (page 50) on a new novel about the Smiths entitled "How Soon is Never." It is written by Spin writer Marc Spitz, who is apparently an obsessive Smiths fan, and the book is a fictional account of him trying to get the Smiths back together (based on real experiences, however). There are some nice shots of Morrissey in this article, and plenty of gladioli.

In the october 2003 issue of spin moz gets several mentions. Marc Spitz interviews himself, yes himself, on his forthcoming book, "How Soon Is Never ?". The article is called "Meeting is Murder" and features a picture of two Marc Spitz's sitting in his office across the table from another with two large, beautiful pictures of Morrissey and just to add that extra touch of mozzy a vase with gladioli. From the article :

"Spin senior editor Marc Spitz is not only a music journalist and obsessive Smiths fan, he's also a debuting novelist. His new book, HOW SOON IS NEVER?, concens a music journalist and obsessive smiths fan who tries to reunite the legendary band on the eve of his 30th birthday. Spitz did that, too, but he insists that this is a work of fiction. so who better to settle this dispute than... Marc Spitz? In a rare joint interview, the journalist and the author sit down and put their heads together."

Also featured is a feature and review on the new band "Pretty Girls Make Graves" who of course got their name from the Smiths song of the same name. The Smiths are discussed in the review and feature.

If you needed another reason to dislike Rolling Stone magazine, their most recent issue enumerates the hundred best guitarists of all time, of which Marr is not one. :p

Rolling Stone Magazine's recent list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time doesn't include any mention of Johnny Marr, the rest of the list is truly laughable.

Craig Kilborn on Howard Stern - September 4, 2003

Yesterday- Craig Kilborn was a guest on the Howard Stern show. One of Morrissey’s biggest fans managed to slip in Morrissey’s name-with no response from anybody at the show
 
Craig had mettioned he enjoy's sipping cocktail’s at his Spanish style home in the LA hills. When given a hard time from Howard Stern about dinking alone, and at home...Craig replied,“I listen to music… I put on some Morrissey.”

That's all I caught… there might have been a mention about Dido too-but skrew her!

Craig Kilborn mentioned Morrissey on the Howard Stern radio show (9/3/03). They were discussing the VMA's and Howard Stern asked Kilborn what he was listening to. Kilborn sighed and reluctantly said jazz. He was slow to mention this because he said he had Morrissey and someone else on and they let him know what they thought of jazz music. I believe Morrissey said "it was going nowhere."

Meat Is Murder used on BBC1 Country File programme
'Country File' is a half hour programme shown on a Sunday morning on BBC 1 in the UK. It focuses on issues affecting the countryside, including farming and agriculture, rural industy, protecting habitats and tourism. This weekend's edition had a feature on the threat to our indigenous fauna posed by the fast-growing Japanese Knotweed, an unwelcome import that has spread to the wild. During this feature, the beginning of "Meat is Murder" was played a few times in the background, presumably for its dramatic effect.
