Marr in Spin Magazine
I got the new February issue of Spin magazine in the mail today and there is a mention about Johnny Marr's band, The Healers, who will release there album Boomslang in Febuary. They make a big deal about Johnny singing and they have him quoted saying that he has never taken any singing lessons. They also say The Healers sound "vaguely Smiths-ian."
There is also a small picture of Marr with his guitar and with a new, rather shaggy/The Strokes-ish haircut with the caption, "One more request for 'Panic' and I'll start swinging this ax!"
The reporter,of course, asks Mr. Marr if he thinks he will get any feedback from Moz and he replies: "I doubt it. If he does, it'd be nice."
...and so everyone's favorite Mancunian soap opera (followed closely by the the popular Gallagher Brothers daily debacle) goes on.
