Please find attached the press release (.doc format) and front cover for our latest title ‘Johnny Marr: The Smiths and the Art of Gun-slinging’. It is the first ever biography on Johnny Marr, and we naturally thought it would be of interest to visitors of your site.

Here is a note sent from the company that is publishing Marr's new book:

"Thanks for the note. It’s being delayed til Sept 28th as we managed to get some great new interviewees and thought it best to delay slightly. It will defo be out for then and is a corker."

This from Johnny Marr's website:

'September 06th 2006: Johnny answers to the Isaac Brock Comments that were made to Rolling Stone

Johnny : "Isaac contacted me and asked if I'd help Modest Mouse write the new album. I was intrigued and played with the band in Portland a couple of times. We hit it off and wrote three great songs straight away, something clicked, it felt right from the off. I have a new Healers album pretty much done, but we've been having such a good time playing these new Modest Mouse songs. When people hear the record they'll see why, we're very good together."'

I only mention this as it refers to a new Healers album, which I assumed would not see the light of day.

Might be worth a read.

But what's with the cover pic? Johnny usually looks so pretty (even now) but there... he looks like an extra in "Shameless".

I thought this was a Morrissey fan site?

As DavidT has said before, there are plenty of Johnny Marr fan sites out there for people interested in him.

Johnny Marr and Morrissey:

They both know that what they had was unique. Enough said.

If they ever deigned to write together again they'd both know it would ruin a legend.

And as for dissing this as a news item. Um I think Marr said it best (1991) GET A LIFE
