Strange/unexpected Moz references?

I fell asleep on the couch a few nights ago while watching Nip/Tuck and awoke to The Smiths' 'Please, please, please let me get what I want.' I had apparently been out for five or ten minutes when I awoke from a dead sleep and said to my husband 'That's The Smiths!'

Still here.
I was just browsing this really great nail polish blog and there was a review of a company called Man-Glaze. One of the colours reviewed was called 'Matte Is Murder'. A genuinely unexpected reference from me, for once. 
not really so strange but just wanted to say a big thank you to the great city of Manchester for a most interesting visit yesterday! visited the lads club for a pic or 2 and went on to find the southern cemetery, ( thanks to THE guide JJ) gravely read the stones and had a wander round. not enough time to visit anywhere else,sadly was a flying visit, but delightful all the same!!! xxx

On Newsnight review with Billy Bragg.... they reviewed Jez Butterworth's play JERUSALEM. The play explores the new ideas of Englishness and what English identity in the 21st century can mean. Jez Butterworth's mentions that all they had at school was the BNP and The Smiths.
This programme was very interesting...please watch
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00qr2rx/The_Review_Show_12_02_2010/
Also Ian McMillan take on Britishness at the People's History Museum in Manchester. The importance of regions
and Young, Angry and White which is about an A level student who may join the BNP.
Watch Billy Bragg telling us to embrace the Union Jack, why didn't he defend Morrissey, 18 years ago.
I love Billy though and always will.

Reading a photographer's blog, I stumbled on this:
Granted, most of you have probably already seen the video (of someone playing How Soon is Now) since it was posted on YouTube in 2007. But it's new to me, and it is very brilliant
"Johnny Marr for the masses
As a non-musician, I'm intrigued with all the DIY Youtubes of those imitating their rock heroes. Usually, they sound exactly as you'd suspect (to be kind.) However, this one is brilliant, witty, and my favorite one of all:"

The weirdest I've seen was a sign the council put up to advertise some Irish dancing for St Patrick's Day, which happened to be occuring around one of Birmingham's fountains.
It was called?
"Reel Around The Fountain".
I have a photo of it somewhere but I can't find it.... It was a true moment of wtf!

That is the best Morrissey cover I've ever heard!
*groovin' to the Bontempi organ. Pops out hip.*
Sing your life... went on the bus and complained about the "youth today", did some gardening, found an ulcer in an unexpected place, fell asleep for three days and thought it was Sunday, developed the odour of cabbages, rather than of sanctity.
Doesn't scan though, unfortunately.

That was from the Manchester International Festival last year - it was their tribute to one of the city's finest sons.

Hideous trait.
Incidentally, if you ever care to go recreate that scene, you can stop in and see the "Picture of Dorian Gray" that was used in the 1945 film. It's by Ivan Albright, and it also hangs in the Art Institute.
I wonder how many postcards of that painting Morrissey has been given over the years?

Psych episode 411, 22 minutes in. Sean says to Gus' new girlfriend, "Smiths lyric off, you, me, ten minutes." She replies "I'm going to wipe the floor with you. We're starting with The Queen Is Dead." Sean says, "15 minutes."
This is actually the second time Psych has referenced the Smiths - the other was this:

The Chicago Teen Poetry Festival (10th annual this year) is called "Louder than a Bomb."

I was in HMV in Edinburgh today and they were playing The Sound of the Smiths. But there was not one single Smiths CD in the whole shop. Which is strange, but not entirely unexpected.
