I came across this wonderful and wacky clip of The Church receiving a Hall of Fame award at an Australian music show last week. Steve Kilbey is looking healthy and takes us through a very energetic and funny 15-minute history of Aussie rock 'n roll, complete with imitations...
Today's Wall Street Journal has a rather eye-opening article about how Irving Azoff tried doing an unholy (for fans) deal with ticket scalpers to drive up ticket prices:
Big Ticket Seller Tried Deal with Scalpers

Beautiful song. I thought Ms. Sandoval was out of the music business, it's been so long.
This is quite a hopeless request, but I thought I'll try: would anyone have an mp3/other sound file of this track? I don't know why it's so hard to find, it was used in a reasonably well-known 90's film "Sleep With Me" starring Eric Stoltz and Quentin Tarantino. Thanks!
I'm an American planning a trip to northwest Ireland (mainly County Mayo). This will be my first time driving there, my 2 other visits were on coach tours. I know the roads are relatively narrow, and occasionally sheep-clogged. I've bought a road atlas and done some online research to...
I learned, sadly after the fact!, that The Pogues did a very brief U.S. tour this month, with shows in a handful of cities: New York, Atlanta & Washington D.C. Were any lucky Forum folk in attendance? I'm especially curious about the 2 shows in D.C. at the tiny but wonderful 9:30 Club, that must...
I don't know if this show was a re-run or not -- my apologies if this has already been discussed -- but Russell Brand was a guest on Jay Leno's "The Tonight Show" last night. He mentioned that his cat is named Morrissey. Jay said, "Oh like the singer? I take it you're a fan. Have you met him."...
In fact, IMO it's the weakest, most pathetic line-up ever (except for Leonard Cohen, who's probably having a laugh at being called rock 'n roll):

EDIT: Never mind, loves - it's because the Pit tickets are (allegedly) sold out
I just realised it will be 20 years this Wednesday since The Smiths (officially) broke up. Johnny's 8/8/87 letter/statement to NME was I believe the first public acknowledgement that the band had fallen apart.
There was a thread on this topic during the European Tormentors tour, but I believe the playlist has changed considerably since then.
I caught "Jungle Rock" by Hank Mizell. Anyone have info about the other songs? There was a very campy number about living alone and liking it (something along...
This is probably a long shot, but you can't blame a girl for trying. I read that this track is one of Morrissey's favourites of the 1980's, so I'm very curious to hear it.
Thanks!
Does anyone here know of a place online where I can listen to this track? It doesn't have to be a download; streaming audio is fine -- I'm just dying to hear it, but have had no luck finding even a sample of it. Ta!
In unrelated news, go here if you'd like to hear the new track "Tarantula"...
I'm referring to the non-authorized video for "How Soon Is Now" done by Paula Grief and Richard Levine for Sire Records. It featured a blonde model-type girl, grainy shots of The Smiths in concert, and footage of a bleak urban landscape.
The Passions Just Like Mine site says the single was...

Perchance, does anyone have an mp3 of the live version of "Writing a Letter" by the Smoking Popes? It was one of the songs played pre-show on Morrissey's 2002 tour (in the U.S., anyway).
Thank you!
