Reviewer William Dart of New Horizons Radio New Zealand gives a mixed review of "California Son". I did like William talking about the mixed gender roles of Morrissey singer love songs from a female protagonist on the album. Review can be listened to online or downloaded.

I'm pleasantly surprised and happy that "Alma Matters" is just about to clock up 2 million views. It's well deserved as it's a great song and one Morrissey has chosen to play quite bit over the last couple of years.
Bugger the Brit Awards we've got over a month's cricket to watch. Righto, the 2015 Cricket World Cup was opened last night. We've now got a month of ODI action. Who's going to win? You can never rule Australia out and they must go in as favourites. They've won something like eleven of their...
The opening chapter of David Mitchell's new novel, "The Bone Clocks" is set on 30 June 1984. A Queen Is Dead Poster is described in a bedroom setting. Pity Mitchell stuffed that up as The Queen Is Dead wasn't released until 1986.
I'm really tempted to email/tweet the author to tell him of his...
The Primitives have a new album out. The band are still together and writing some great 60's inspired pop songs. Tracy Tracy is still looking as hot as ever and the years have been kind to her.
There's a small piece here, http://www.magnetmagazine.com/ about when Morrissey turned up at one...
Nicky Wire's minor obsession with the Manic Street Preachers continues. On the Manics up coming album "Rewind The Film" the band have brought in some some guest to perform. Richard Hawley (another Morrissey link there), Lucy Rose and Cate Le Bon will all be lending vocals to songs. In this...
The new song (not single) from the Manic Street Preachers features Richard Hawley on vocals. The song is a gtolden majestic thing of melancholic beauty. Morrissey went on to write some great songs with Whyte and Boorer but this lastes effort from Hawley makes me wonder what could have been if...
I came across this little list of the best Smiths songs covered by female artists. It was put together to celebrate the 30th anniversary of "Hand In Glove".

Another nice interview with Julie. She's really getting to meet as many people as possible from The Smiths days. Showbiz has really lived life to the full. One of those people who make every minute count.
I'd like to volunteer to archive Showbiz's collection. What other Smiths treasures...

I picked up a couple of the "Stop Factory Farming" badges (buttons) in the weekend. The same badge that Morrissey wore on when performing on the David Letterman show the other week. The badges are cheap as chips and cost next to nothing to post. If anybody would like one, PM me. I'm happy to...

Not much really but this morning I enquired in a independent bookshop in Auckland if they had any details from Penguin when Morrissey's auto-bio would be out next year. After a little bit of tapping on the pc the girl behind the counter informed me that their (the shop's) database has all the...
With Morrissey and the boys having around six months off since they came off the road, there's a strong chance that Boz has written some new songs. Songs from last years tour like "Art Hounds", "People Are The Same Everywhere" and "Scandinavia" might become regular songs in the set list...
Last night I went along and saw the very wonderful Kitty Daisy and Lewis perform at the Powerstation here in the fleshpot of Auckland. What a fantastic performance. KD&L perform a sort of early blues rock and roll. Complete with double bass, banjos, harmonica and trumpet. It's a truly...
I caught myself listening to a really good interview with Captain Sensible of the Damned on Radio Live on Sunday morning. The Damned are playing tonight (Wednesday) here in Auckland. I’m not going. The interviewer, Graham Hill asked the Captain what he thought about the punk bands of the 2000...
