Johnny Marr & the Healers

the underground is overground
the overground will pull you down
it's how it goes
in these times

^^^^^sounds like top shelf new order. suck it haters

the last great album he was on was the first electronic album or did i miss something?

Dusk was 1993

dusk was quite good but not what i'd call a great album, i haven't listened to it for at least 15 years, so it didn't leave the same long-term imprint on me as the first electronic album.

Last great thing? STRANGEWAYS

still digging this. "sun & moon" is a great song. sounds a lot like a top shelf lee renaldo sonic youth jam

has anyone seen him recently live? he is coming to berlin on monday and i was thinking of going. does he and his band still do smiths songs live? the one song from the new album (out June, 15th) i heard ("hi hello") was ok, his guitar sound is still ace.

The live album that was put out a year or so ago is a good listen. From that and videos I have seen, it looks like Johnny Marr puts on a good show.

Yeah we're seeing him in a couple of weeks over here. Going in with no expectations and we'll see how it goes.

I saw him a couple of years ago and he was pretty good! Does a great approximation of Moz vocals.

I'd go

I thought Johnny Marr's take on "Getting Away with It" was really good on the live record.

His solo work is much better than I'd ever have guessed it would have been. He was good on the last tour when I saw him.

Great concerts. Lots of young people
The succession of How soon is now?, New town velocity (he said he wrote this on the day he left school, i had never heard it, a fabulous song) and There is a light that never goes out at the end was godlike. His guitars still sound magoc. They got switched after about every second song. I came late and missed Bigmouth, I think. I am pretty sure that his kind of modest renditions of the Smiths songs are probably better than over the top Morrissey interpretations. Anyways he is the closest you can come to the Smiths live these days.

My sp is so bad, sorry.
