Well, it’s something.
In a new interview with Norwich Evening News (via Prefix), Johnny Marr (formerly of The Smiths, currently of The Cribs) revealed that despite a falling out with former bandmate Morrissey, there is currently no feud.
“It’s not necessarily the case that we’re not talking,” he said. “We have email. We worked on that ‘Sound Of The Smiths’ [2008 compilation album] together. Who’s got time for a feud? Right now I have got screwdrivers inside guitars, my car broke down yesterday… I’ve got no time for a feud.”
So, could this mean a reunion is possible? “I like The Smiths’ songs, but I like playing with two guitars and writing new songs. Unfortunately a reunion would go against both those things,” Marr added.
Alas, more waiting. At least we have tour dates from both gentlemen to look forward to.
