Colin Meloy covering Morrissey, doesn’t get much better than that.

“Andy Rourke recalled that Morrissey’s original concept for the ‘Hand In Glove’ single’s sleeve had been to utilise the cover illustration from an American romance comic that Linder Sterling had discovered in an Oxfam shop:
‘It was a drawing of a group of people staring longingly at a guitar player’s arse. Morrissey thought it was hilarious, and that it seemed to play off of that line in the song about how “the sun shines out of our behinds.” But Geoff Travis absolutely hated the idea. The [weekly music papers] NME and Melody Maker were really important for new groups in those days, and Geoff thought that if our first single came out with that picture on the front they’d dismiss us as a joke band. I remember a very long meeting where he kept asking Morrissey: ‘Do you really want Julie Burchill and Charles Shaar Murray slagging you off like you’re the second coming of Jilted John? Do you?’”
