The U.S. edition of Morrissey's new Greatest Hits finally came out. The bonus live disc is worth shelling out the extra cash - for the hardcore fans, anyway. Also, it seems that fans can sign up for info on some as yet unrevealed special internet-only album at www.morrisseydirect.com
Upcoming show worth checking out: Infighter at the Phog Lounge in Windsor. Infighter are a fave on this show, infectious with some definite British post-punk (Joy Division, Echo) influence. And they're from the greatest city in the world, Toronto, which can never be a bad thing.

Well, more by coincidence than design. In fact, there really isn't any Easter theme here, although the show did end up being fairly uptempo.

16 Mar. set + new Bauhaus
Picked up the new Bauhaus CD, Go Away White, which came out on Tuesday. Played it a couple of times, and yes, it's a fine album. It definitely has a "Peter Murphy singing over Love and Rockets" feel at times, but does anyone really expect the band to sound like they did thirty years ago?
Oh, and here's David J talking about Bauhaus' new breakup (from Suicide Girls):
JH:
You know, not to be a gossip or anything, but can you tell me how Bauhaus broke up?
DJ:
Yeah. You have a test tube, and you pour in one chemical, and you pour in another chemical, and something happens. It starts to bubble. Pour in another chemical, and it starts to bubble a bit more. You pour in a fourth chemical, and it bubbles really violently, and then explodes. That's my answer.
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club are playing in Toledo April 17. Caught them last summer just after Baby 81 came out, and yeah, they're worth the drive. UK group the Duke Spirit are opening, and they have a solid, Gossip-like vibe.
