When do the rumors start of Modest Mouse/Smiths reunio headlining Coachella next year start?

[FroGG_NeaL]

Cool.

[Edwin MacPhisto]

That's the oddest music news I've heard in a while.

Like Marr's done anything interesting since the Smiths broke up. This really isn't interesting, either. More of a "huh" type of thing.

I wonder if they'll cover Smiths' songs in concert. I'd like to hear Isaac Brock's take on "Hand in Glove".

This reminds me of when a friend told me about an interview he read with Ian Brown. Brown was saying that when the guitarist from the Stone Roses left, that Slash rang him up and he'd play with them. Brown wasn't impressed and just pictured Slash turning up with his pet snake.

[PLAGIARISM!]

I dread to hear Modest Mouse covering The Smiths, and Marr can fuck off, he's no better than say, Bernard Butler.

[Giuseppe Zangara]

Remember?

 

Of course not. Who cares about Johnny Marr?

[PLAGIARISM!]

And what a title.

[Giuseppe Zangara]

I actually listened to that album, as I had to review it back in the early days of my college radio tenure. I remember nothing it about other than mediocrity.

I dread to hear Modest Mouse

 

Yep.

[Sideburnious]

Remember?

 

Of course not. Who cares about Johnny Marr?

 

I think my friend has that album (and probably likes it) but he's one of those people who's mad into guitar so he thinks the lead guitarist is the only important element to make or break a band. I doubt he'd buy Morrisey's solo stuff.

New cd - Dec 19.

 

I'm ready for another tour.
