also on the smiths front, read this fine-ass interview with johnny marr from magnet. if you have the new issue, read this anyway - it's about 3x as long as the printed version, and includes this gorgeous memory of marr's time in the pretenders which once again proves indisputably that chrissie hynde is a fucking rock god:
"I met her at a time when I was fairly battered by the Smiths split and the things going on in my world with the media. And the manipulation of the media by certain people to make me look like the bad guy. I suddenly found myself hanging out with this person and I’m going, “Oh, things are tough. I’m bruised. Oh, I left my band. Oh, it’s really raw.” And her vibe was, “Well, two of my fucking band died. And plus, I don’t even really know who your band are. Let’s go see some life.” It was an amazing thing to be around."
