Apparently Marr's out there singing the songs himself now, removing the biggest barrier to entry: Morrissey's voice.

I like Morrissey's singing, but Johnny sounds great on this.

Morrissey tried to reunite The Smiths for a (cash-grab) tour next year, and Johnny posted a pic of Nigel Farage, basically telling Moz to fuck off. A true British treasure, that man.

If JM does a Smiths tour, I'm there. This sounds great.

"Mile End" by Pulp. My wife loves this band so I get to hear them when we take her car. Other than this track I don't care for them at all.

I really dislike Blur (hate is just for Coldplay and a couple artists more) but there's this track on Modern life is rubbish, can't remember the title of it, very shoegazey, vg.

I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean; it sounds fine to me. Go listen to Evanescence or Fallout Boy if you need overhyped emotions spoon-fed to you.

That one is mine as well. The band is a fart in the wind, yet that song kinda gets me. There's a little bass modulation thing in the chorus that I like a lot.

I would also add that "Monkey Wrench" by Foo Fighters is pretty good. Can't stand every other note of that band, but even a blind chicken and all of that.
