Yes, my mom told me years ago that when she was a young 'un she and a friend went to Sun Valley ski resort and were lounging in the outdoor pool when who should saunter by but Farley Granger, matinee idol of the day, whose PR person saw a good photo op and took a picture of him and his adoring "fans." I scoured the internet for years, looking for images from those old movie magazines (it wound up getting printed in one of them) to no avail. And then! When I was clearing out my parents attic to move them into their retirement community I opened a box and lo and behold, a perfectly preserved 8x10 glossy of the pic which I of course had framed forthwith, and post to social media every Mother's Day.

Whoa, from "Strangers on a Train"? That's cool.

three months pass...

New album! An actual album of new songs, not a soundtrack or a reissue. And tour dates! All at thethe.com

First single sounding pretty good. The The are still a band for whom the word "brooding" might have been coined:

Tour months, not tour dates.

"The album also marks the return of co-producer and engineer Warne Livesey, who previously worked on landmark THE THE albums Infected (1986) and Mind Bomb (1989)."

This is great news. In addition to being Johnson's two most brilliant collections of songs, those are two of my favourite *sounding* albums.

These look remarkably like tour dates to me xp:

Not sure about that new single but I think this, only from 2020, was just wonderful

The dates 404’d from the home page this morning (but I got them from his email, and they’re playing six blocks from me, whee)
