Adebayor's started so well for Man City
Heaven Knows I'm Global Now
Did you know The Smiths were massive in Brazil? The interview we did with Johnny Marr on Monday made the front page of Brazil's main newspaper O Globo
I love it. Hope your Portuguese is up to speed. Apparently all British rock and pop from the 80s went down well with Brazilians. Clearly a nation with taste.
NME picked it up too:
I'll confess I was slightly apprehensive about speaking to Mr Marr cos you never know if cool musicians will be defensive/monosyllabic/broadly uncommunicative. He started off a bit like that but then warmed up.
Is there a cooler man on the planet than Johnny Marr??
I love the way elements of the press have sexed this up as a 'Smiths may re-form' story. I think Johnny was being polite, there's not a cat in hells chance of them re-forming, and as a Smiths devotee I'm not sure I'd want them to.
Comebacks are for desperados like Take That, The Police, Madness and the Spice Girls, not for genuinely great bands like The Smiths.
there's not a cat in hells chance of them re-forming,
So not all bad news then
