Magnetic Fields at Union Chapel, London (October 14th and 15th 2025)
The Magnetic Fields have kept a good thing going by taking their 69 Love Songs tour international. This is, if the internet is to be believed, the 100th to 115th or so performance of 69 Love Songs in its entirety over two nights. I have now seen three of them. Pretty sure that puts me in the top five, or top two even, for number of shows seen by one person. I fancy myself a bit of an expert now. So, sit back and let me describe the show to you as someone who is practically in the band at this point.
The Chameleons: Arctic Moon
Manchester’s The Chameleons formed in 1981 (with a debut record Script of the Bridge in 1983), in an already crowded ‘Madchester’ music scene, such as The Smiths, New Order, Magazine, The Fall, and so on… but tragedy hit the band with the band manager’s death, so they agreed to break up in 1987.

The Waeve at Koko, London (20 March 2025)
So, remember when I mentioned that Rose Elinor Dougall (The Pipettes) was in a relationship with Graham Coxon (Blur) earlier this year? Apparently, the two formed a band called The Waeve (stylised as The WAEVE).

Smiths is it!
In celebration of the late Andy Rourke, Blitz Vega announced his final album Northern Gentlemen. This was Rourke’s last project with Kav Blaggers. Spirit Power: The Best of Johnny Marr is a greatest hits album from guitarist extraordinaire Johnny Marr came out last year. Unfortunately, no The Smiths songs on the tracklisting. This is probably due to rights issue and most likely because they wanted to keep this strictly Marr’s solo work. The official Morrissey merchandise store, Mporium is offering a limited-edition Morrissey Peace Sign Harrington Jacket for £85 pre-order (shipping in April 2024). Unfortunately, this is only offered on their UK website. I kind of want it, I would’ve ordered it, but unfortunately, I don’t live in the UK.
