El 2004 sera el año de publicacion de un nuevo trabajo del cantante donostiarra Mikel Erentxun. Sera el sexto de su carrera en solitario , y en este caso se tratara de un recopilatorio de sus cinco anteriores trabajos (Naufragios , El abrazo del erizo , Acrobatas , Te dejas ver , Ciudades de paso).
El Cd incluira dos o tres canciones nuevas , asi como varias sorpresas , como son la regrabacion de Esta luz nunca se apagara y A un minuto de ti , para asi adaptarlas al sonido de los ultimos trabajos de Mikel. Ademas , y esta es la mayor sorpresa , estas dos canciones contaran con la colaboracion de dos grandes musicos de talla internacional , como son Morrisey (The Smiths) y Lloyd Cole (este ultimo ya participo en Te dejas ver , cantando en el tema En silencio).
La publicacion esta prevista para Febrero de 2004.
TRANSLATION: moz to collaborate with mikel.---

Johnny Bramwell of I Am Kloot on the finest ever gig to rock his socks: Morrissey
The Greatest...
"I went to see Morrissey in Bath in 1988, just after he went solo. Entry was on a first come, first served basis, but although we were miles away from the door, when Moz turned up everyone chased after his bus, so I ended up at the front of the queue. It was an incredible gig. I've never seen so many stage invasions. The second he came on he was buried beneath an avalanche of daffodils and his shirt was ripped off in seconds. He did about 50 minutes including "There Is A Light..." I Started the gig down the front but soon retired to the balcony with a drink. I'm quite short and the groundswell was too much for me"
Slightly dodgy facts, me thinks. Everyone who hasn't heard of I Am Kloot should check them out at www.iamkloot.com. NME recently described him as the best lyricist operating in the UK and it's hard to disagree. For now ...---
NIcky's Cousin also writes: Andy Rourke was at the I Am Kloot gig at The Ritz, Manchester last night (October 12th) along with the rest of the Manchester glitterati. I Am Kloot were amazing, by the way.

Benton writes: In the latest issue of Word magazine, in a section headed "People we like and things they like", Rolling Stone editor Ed Needham says "My holy trinity is Morrissey, Morrison and Cave, with Waits on the bench."
Also in this section, Krishnan Guru-Murthy "Suave anchorman of Channel 4 News" praises The Smiths and refers to the aborted Preston Gig in 1986, and one of the Chemical Brothers picks "The Severed Alliance" as his book choice.

Mrs Riley writes: They Might Be Giants played a weird show at the Barbican, London, last Saturday (4th October) where they provided live backing music for Writers who stood at the front of the stage reading their stories.
One story by Dave Eggers involved a 15 year old boy, peddling on his bike to his friends while listening to his Smiths mix tape on his Toshiba walkman. Then he starts swerving left and right as he sings along to Well I Wonder, to prove how much he appreciates the song.
At this point They Might Be Giants started playing the first verse to Well I Wonder, really sweetly in the background. It was surreal.
A bit later in the story, the kid proclaims you can only understand the song after 7 repeat listenings in a row, and he's played it so many times his Walkman batteries are flat. TMBG had again started playing Well I Wonder for this part of the reading, and cut the song mid way through when the 'dead batteries' are announced.
Here is a link to the event.
Here is a Guardian review, which briefly mentions The Smiths.---
