As Seth Meyers said, by pulling his music out of Spotify, Neil Young is giving up on hundreds of thousands of cents.

I’ll ungrey you for just mentioning The The, but I still think their best work was pre-Marr - and I thought a lot of his stuff with Electronic was pretty decent given he was the only real musician in that band.

We’re 48 comments in and I have to be the guy to point out that, clearly and beyond any reasonable discussion or debate, his work in The The is clearly Marr’s best work post-Smiths? 

>I love the challenge of being able to play a kid because that’s never historically been done in cinema.

May I add Thomas/Thomas (the Attractions)? They may be my favorite sans Booker T and the MGs. 

I mean, Samuel Beckett said basically the same thing, as have a million other writers, directors, and actors; as well as basically anyone who has ever said “Those who can, do-those who can’t, teach.”  Slagging critics in a conspicuously butthurt manner is not new under the moon.

Don’t sleep on how awesome Graham Maby/David Houghton were on the first two Joe Jackson records. Or how awesome messrs. Thomas/Thomas were on pretty much any given Elvis Costello record.

Modest Mouse: the answer for any white guy who says, “What goes with this bandana?”

I mean, maybe if every interviewer ever would stop asking Marr about Morrissey, he wouldn’t say anything, but that’s about as likely as journalists stopping from asking Paul about the Beatles. I’m not sure what Moz expects. Johnny NOT saying anything about Morrissey in an interview would probably be even MORE…

Obligatory...

Morrisey is the David Lee Roth of The Smiths.

“Would you please, instead, discuss your own career, your own unstoppable solo achievements and your own music?”

If the best band you played with is Modest Mouse, that says more about your own lack of success than Morrissey.

Great another show that tries to get us to care about rich people and there problems. At least it is interesting to see another time period and it is not another cop/lawyer/doctor show. 

From the profile in question:

Dinklage strikes me as someone that understands the privilege that he enjoys from being male, attractive, and white, as well as having money, but also realizes that society is also still biased against people with his condition, in a way that most people can’t imagine.

Why stop there .. his daughter Fiona can play Snow Dourif!

The obvious answer is to change the title to Snow White and the Seven Dourifs and then have Brad play all of them.

As mentioned, it’s a near complete clone of Downton Abbey, right down to the score. Ultra-wealthy, new money pained by not being accepted by ultra-wealthy old money (seriously—crying one’s self to sleep because the neighbors didn’t show up for your housewarming). Oh, and a Black woman as a secretary.…

I can’t wait to hear all the new songs like “Whistle While You Protest For Fair Labor Practices” and “Someday My Prince Will Rob Me Of My Agency.”
