Morrissey at the DPAC

Inspiration to sad undergraduates everywhere Morrissey played in Durham Wednesday night. Click through to see the review.

Separated at birth, the video edition: Morrissey vs. Let's Active

Check out the latest video from English mope-rock giant Morrissey, for "I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris." Then compare it to another video that involves puppies and a washed-out white backdrop, 1984's "Every Word Means No" by Winston-Salem pop band Let's Active.

Visual homage, or freaky coincidence? You be the judge.

Meanwhile, Morrissey plays Durham March 11; and Let's Active main man Mitch Easter is on Wednesday night's "Meet the Producers" panel discussion in the Secondhand Freespace series at Chapel Hill's Local 506.

(Thanks, Glynn, for the point-out.)

Durham-bound: Morrissey!


Reunion talk has been going around about The Smiths reconvening after more than two decades apart. That's still a long shot, but what I can tell you is that ex-Smiths frontman Morrissey's 2009 spring tour will play the Durham Performing Arts Center on March 11 -- his first Triangle performance in more than a decade, since a 1997 show at The Ritz (now known as Disco Rodeo).

Tickets go on-sale Friday.
