The radio show Desert Island Discs is a national institution in the U.K. The show has run since 1942 on Radio 4, and follows a simple format—a public figure is invited on, and has to choose and justify eight pieces of music they would take with them if they were stranded on a desert island.

Former frontman of the Smiths proves that heaven knows he's happier now For all his talk of suicide and sadness, the famously miserable Morrissey sounded strangely contented on Desert Island Discs today. "If you reach 50 and are not at one with yourself then you're in serious trouble," he told the BBC Radio 4 programme. The former lead singer of the Smiths chose a selection of records dominated...
Welcome to the 52nd edition of The Carnival of Running! This one is for Vanilla, who last week outed himself as the lead singer and guitarist for Mott the Hoople: We also honor Danica at Chic Runner, for running the Malibu Marathon in a tutu. But if she really wanted to push the envelope, she would run [...]
ALL THE YOUNG dudes, carry the ball carelessly, boogaloo dudes. I'm guessing Shady McCoy and DeSean Jackson wouldn't know Mott the Hoople from Mott's applesauce, but they know now that defenders will just haul off and punch the ball out, while they're wrestling with you. McCoy expressed surprise over that dynamic, following the Eagles' 24-20 victory over the Chicago Bears Sunday night.

Power-popper Matthew Sweet and lead Bangle Susanna Hoffs are at it again as duo “ Sid N Susie .” Anyway, last time around it was 2006, and they were covering 60s classics. This time, they’ve progressed into the 70s, covering songs by acts like Fleetwood Mac, Rod Stewart and Mott the Hoople. They’ll be in the area for two shows – this Sunday, November 8th at the Birchmere...

A tweet from a friend led to my playing “I Wish I Was Your Mother” by Mott the Hoople. I’ve been using the Zune software, rather than Rhapsody, lately. It has a “Smart DJ” function that is similar to Genius...

Additionally, Mark Blake takes a detailed look back at the 1980 shows with comments from the principles and loads of great...
Martin Schneider writes: The interview/concert with Ian Hunter and Graham Parker at (Le) Poisson Rouge on Bleecker Street on Saturday night was ridiculously entertaining, and the most atypical New Yorker Festival event I've ever seen. I'd hazard a guess that the audience included more non-subscribers than usual. Why? Because the Mott the Hoople crazies were out in force. Preliminary lubrication included...
