Diablo may end up seeing this concert ... https://pitchfork.com/news/johnny-marr-and-james-announce-joint-north-american-tour/ Johnny Marr and James have announced a joint tour of North America, starting at the end of summer. The coast-to-coast run takes in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto, and more than a dozen other cities. Check out the dates below. Marr and his fellow Mancunians first toured together in 1985, when James supported the Smiths on the Meat Is Murder tour. In a press release, Marr recalled of that tour, “We admired them and even did one of their songs in our set. I’ve been a fan of theirs ever since and being out on tour again after 40 years is a really great thing.” 09-17 Denver, CO - Paramount Theatre 09-20 Vancouver, British Columbia - Queen Elizabeth Theatre 09-21 Seattle, WA - The Moore 09-22 Portland, OR - McMenamins Crystal Ballroom 09-23 San francisco, CA - The Warfield 09-25 Los Angeles, CA - Orpheum Theatre 09-29 Austin, TX - Stubb’s 09-30 Dallas, TX - Majestic Theatre 10-01 Houston, TX - Bayou Music Center 10-03 Atlanta, GA - The Eastern 10-04 New Orleans, LA - The Fillmore 10-06 Washington, D.C. - Warner Theatre 10-08 Brooklyn, NY - Brooklyn Paramount 10-10 Boston, MA - Orpheum Theatre 10-11 Philadelphia, PA - Franklin Music Hall 10-13 Montreal, Quebec - M Telus 10-14 Toronto, Ontario - History 10-15 Detroit, MI - Masonic Temple 10-17 Chicago, IL - Riviera Theatre 10-18 Saint Paul, MN - Palace Theatre No shows near me unfortunately...
Interesting tidbit from Marr. In this short video, he praises Magazine's John McGeoch as a guitar God and refers to the band's 1978 song Shot By Both Sides as sounding like "a spy film" and "pure James Bond" https://www.youtube.com/shorts/hCW0CVGWyC0?feature=share By coincidence (or perhaps not), Magazine came out with a cover of a Bond theme later that same year...
i loved magazine got into them and xtc in 1978/79 a friend i used to play in a garage band with recommended them both this was probably their biggest hit (thanks to kroq)
i remember my buddy and i riding our bikes to the record store it was the summer of 1974 i had enough cash for one album lots of choices, but it ultimately came down to steely dan/pretzel logic or elton john/caribou then out of the corner of my eye i saw something… i had heard some bowie songs, but this album blew my mind that christmas i got pinups, ziggy stardust and david live my music life had changed forever … and i am eternally grateful
Regarding His Oxness ... this is arguably the sickest bass sequence I've heard in R&R ... Full song ... Isolated...
Welp .... you'll never die of poisoning you if you keep this list handy... https://100best.music.apple.com/us I nearly puked when I saw that Kendrick Lamar & Frank Ocean made the top 10 while Bowies ZIGGY tops out at 24th ... and Hendrix at 63 I could drink a gallon of arsenic & look at their #1 and projectile vomit every drop of it safe as a baby afterwards.
