I’ve been listening to a lot of Johnny Marr’s contemporary solo work lately. Not really sure why. I just dig it

@jalefkowit the good Smith.

I love Marr’s discussion here about leaving the studio after the all-night session that produced “How Soon Is Now?”, and feeling like he’d done something special but being too exhausted to really know, and then the rush of playing the recording the next morning and realizing exactly how right he had been

@jalefkowit there's a handful of musicians that are just kind of perfect. They've continued to be really cool, interesting, and relevant through decades, and someone I always want to hear talk about music. Marr is one of them. Stewart Copeland, Nile Rodgers, and Pino Palladino spring to mind as other examples.
