Two good articles over at The Believer.
One is a review of The Arcade Fire's first tour.
The other is a longer essay examining the phenomena of Morrissey's iconic status among his fan base, and, more specifically, his popularity among American Latinos. A couple of classic Smiths legends are repeated here, like the one about a crazed fan who took over a radio station and forced the DJ (at gunpoint) to play nothing but The Smiths for hours.

"Neon Bible" isn't what I would call normal fare for me, but I can't stop listening to it. The sound and feel makes me think of old Springsteen, Bowie, Phantom of the Opera, and maybe some episodes of "Twin Peaks."
Glad you're posting, sir. We will be the beneficiaries.
