Morrissey will be appearing on "Friday Night with Jonathan Ross" on March 24th.

BBC One Programme Information

Thanks to a text from my friend Lesley for this. I confirmed this by checking this weeks TV guide which says the following;

10.40pm Friday 24TH March (BBC 1) - Friday Night With Jonathan Ross
Chat show with guests David Attenborough, Morrissey and Pink.

24th March at 10.40 "the living legend that is Morrissey, will be talking and singing" on the Jonathan Ross Show. Other guests are David Attenborough and Pink. Heat Magazine.

Morrissey will be appearing on Top of the Pops this Sunday 18th March at 7.00PM and Friday Night with Jonathan Ross on Friday 24th March at 10.40PM.

Wanted to let you know I've written up the "November the Second" eBay auction, and have the contested MP3 - along with my take - available for download.

In September 1997, after their contract was up, EMI released Suedehead: The Best of Morrissey, a 19-track, single-disc overview originally outfitted with a second CD EP of unreleased rarities ... a long-rumored dance mix of "November Spawned a Monster" that Morrissey detested and had deleted was supposed to be included. As it turns out [he] does bear more grudges than high-court judges, and had the two-disc set blocked.

See Shallow Rewards for the full article.

First review of the album has appeared here in norway, and a very good one too... It is the resonable big paper Dagsavisen that gives the album five (out of six) stars.

Also; elsewere in the paper there is story about Øya-festivalen that is trying to book Moz for their festival (taking place in Oslo in mid august).

Øya vil ha Morrissey

The Heineken Music Hall website reports that the concert on april the 10th is now sold out.

Billy joked about Morrissey missing Marr in his North American tour opener Saturday night in Toronto. Billy will also be peforming in SXSW this week.

Billy Bragg - Operah House, Toronto (March 11, 2006) - chromewaves.net

Excerpt: He was also quick to quip during the outro for "Greetings To The New Brunette" where he quipped (paraphrased), "Makes me look around and wonder where Johnny Marr is... I bet Morrissey thinks the same thing". But he also showed his respect for The Smiths during an acoustic "busker" portion of the set with his cover of their "Jeanne", as well as a rather nice if bumpy cover of The Verve's "The Drugs Don't Work".

Billy Bragg was on Air America Radio's Rachel Maddow Show this morning. You can hear it here.

Bragg's segment starts at 58mins.

Noon
Doors open / BBQ lunch. Playback of the new Morrissey album [though not the whole album since Carina Round starts at 12:30?]

Yes, it's ironic that it's during a BBQ lunch.

And no, I don't think their "secret surprise headliner" will be Moz.

p.s.
The flyer says "Badges welcome", but wristbands are welcome too.
