[kj] Youth posts MySpace Bulletin -- fronts a new band

[Robert Mallett]

now then, where does this leave all the Smith's/Morrisey fans on the Gathering? Surely Coleman would never stoop this low. Or is it radical genous in action subverting popula culture. You decide

Morrissey is in talks to write the UK entry for the Eurovision Song Contest, according to the BBC. 

In one of the showbiz world's most unlikely developments, the former Smiths singer is hoping to follow in the footsteps of Bucks Fizz. 

Morrissey expressed an interest in the contest last year after Daz Sampson's song, Teenage Life, came 19th out of 24 entries. 

"I was horrified but not surprised to see the UK fail. Why didn't they ask me?" said the star, whose hits with The Smiths include Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now and Big Mouth Strikes Again. 

His comments were taken as a joke by everyone but the BBC, which approached him about writing this year's entry. 

A BBC spokeswoman said: "Morrissey said that he would be interested in doing it so we approached him and we are currently in discussion. 

"Nothing is confirmed and we are also talking to other people. 

"Morrissey would be writing the song for someone else rather than performing himself."

  It's on the level -- there are even some pics on the pics page of him playing with the band (seems to have lost that weight) and some album cover artwork that looks rather Coles-esque.
