[secretmoviemonday] the best movie in a while
finally, a good movie. depressing yes, but good. i was begining to wonder why i was coming each monday. but here is a reason. good movies. yay. incidentally, i cried so much i had pools of tears in my collar bone hollows. and i am quite boney so the hollows were quite big and the pools were consequently quite deep. but just cos it's sad doen't make it not good. anyway, crying is good for you. i do it all the time. i even cried yesterday. well, better be off to bed so i can do some mighty fine filing tomorrow! -- cheers for a good movie, Hilary "Filing Clerk" Donald. mailto:monkeypig@paradise.net.nz

What was it?
At MMM last night was The Salford Sea < no imdb yet >, a documentary about Wellington's Salford Lads Club: A Smiths Tribute band. For this email this morning I conducted an interview with Adrian, the lead singer. Q. Do you think of the Salford Lads Club as a Smiths 'tribute' band, or a Smiths 'covers' band? A. A tribute band, definately. Every pluck of the string, flick of the drumstick and idiosyncratic stage manoeuvre has been lovingly analysed and recreated/ Q. What motivated you to start the band? A. Fun, mostly. We are what Morrissey would refer to as 'Smiths Apostles', and as such leapt at the opportunity to celebrate their music. Since starting the band we have learnt that Smithdom is very much alive and well in New Zealand, and that there is a need among other Apostles to celebrate their music too. Q.Why call it the 'Salford Lads Club' ? A. The Saldford Lads Club is the name of a social club for boys in Manchester that still exists today. In 1986 they were photographed posing outside the club and the image was used on the album cover of "The Queen is Dead". Q. Can you tell us a little about the documentary? A. It is a very floral affair; a mad celebration. Recording stage invasions, which were and as a typical aspect of Smiths and Morrissey shows - as they are at ours. Audience members are known to sing along and even cry at points. Every night will be unique as our repertoire is quite staggering. Q. Morrissey or Marr? A. Typically I would say Marr, being a guitarist. But what I should really say is 'both of them together', as neither has been able to match alone the quality of their collaborative work. Q. 'Hand In Glove' or 'Last Night I Dreamt'? A. One mocks love, the bemoans the lack of it... it's too hard to say! Q. What was up with their distinctive album and singles covers? A. Morrissey was reponsible for all album and single packaging, choosing colours, typesets and photographs of his heroes past and present. Q. Do you have a favourite album? Because? A. I would have to name The Queen Is Dead as my token favourite Smiths album because it was all I would listen to at the age of sixteen. In reality, however, I am convinced that The Smiths produced work of such consistently high quality that it is impossible for me to appreciate certain collections of songs over others. Q. Have you seen The Smiths perform? A. I was five years old when The Smiths disbanded. Clearly to appreciate The Smiths at five indicates severe psychological trauma. Q. Do you dress up and imitate their mannerisms? A. Absolutely. Q. Should people throw flowers? A. As many as humanly possible. .Matthew Cruickshank http://holloway.co.nz/
