It's funny because while their reputation as music for sad teens made me listen to them, it was the wit and fun that made them one of my favourite bands.

I love Marr as a musician and I think he's constantly been one of the best sidemen around for the last 30 years (with Kirsty MacColl, Billy Bragg, Talking Heads, Modest Mouse, The Cribs etc.) but his solo stuff just does nothing for me.

I can't believe that the reviewer is so blatantly missing the point of the show. I feel kind of embarrassed for him…
