Anyone see Marr's tweet this morning?

"Hey journos who are stuck comparing everything to 30 years ago, stop it. You're annoying to everyone who likes the new stuff too. You dicks."
Thoughts?

Hey musos who are stuck making stuff that sounds like 30 years ago

I have to say that seeing Johnny and the Healers some while back, I was quite underwhelmed.

to be fair i thought his new record sounded more like a '90s britpop album than anything else

yeah but 90s Britpop wasn't exactly cutting edge modernism even in the 90s

Cutting edge artists like Paddy Considine, Boy George and Eddi Reader all on his dick, says it all really.

There's a reason every single review of both live show and record says "if only he had a frontman/lyricist like Morrissey or Matt Johnson", and it's not because all the reviewers are stuck in the past.

ha initially i thought he was just making that tweet in a vacuum and i kinda agreed; forgot he's got a new album out. it's never ever ever a good look to whinge about critics

Dear Johnny, you are great at what you do but you can't do it all. Send thank you cards to Morrissey, Bernard Sumner and Matt Johnson. Maybe one of them will take you back.

^^^ comparing everything to 30 years ago

Why no Isaac Brock? brotherlovesdub: part of the problem, not part of the solution

My fave Smiths story was when Moz & Marr were working out a tune by singing it together, and ARourke fell about saying "You two together sound like Peters and Lee!"
