New Johnny Marr Song Marred By Lack Of Song

Yes, folks, we never do learn from our mistakes do we? Former Smiths members keep on sucking and stupid ass writers keep on lying about them. The only good thing about the death of the rock crtic is nobody has to read the twerps at Rolling Stone’s  brain dead blather about stuff they don’t quite grasp. In pitchfork synths  are icy, in RS bass’s throb. Never met an adjective they couldn’t sexualy abuse.  What a horrible concept, right? Throbbing Bass? I’ll take throbbing gristle any day.

But I digress before I’ve even gotten started, and as long as I am digressing, anybody got a picture of Andrew Sacher, and I refuse to believe he could be that gormless. I mean he might be, but I need proof. Oh, that reminds me, one of these days I have to tell you about Wyatt marshall -not merely one of the most boring writers on the planet, a kid I actually gave a reference to for college and who was subsequently so rude to me he better hope I don’t run into him one of these days. The loathsome drudge bore. Just like Brooklynvegan, a sort of fanzine for everybody who have raised cut and paste into whole new levels of plagiarism.’

I digressed again!!!

I meant to be insulting Johnny Marr and his throbbing fucking bass. This track is worse than anything on Marr’s first album because the song isn’t good enough. I’ve heard it five times now and I am in a foul mood. How about a laugh? here is the PR release:

“Legendary guitarist Johnny Marr has released “Easy Money” – the first single from his upcoming album Playland due out October 7 via Warner Music Group. Following a first listen on BBC 6 Music, Marr premiered the track’s video via Pitchfork. Rolling Stone explains the song has, “…throbbing bass, funky guitar and a catchy melody to mask lyrics about the downfalls of greed.”

Johnny describes the video as, “A ‘high times in low rent England’ kind of thing whereas the song ‘Easy Money’ is more of a ‘low times in high rent England’ kind of thing.”

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Marr adds: “I like the idea of sneaking a serious concern into the mainstream, disguised as a big pop tune. The riff was so catchy and infectious that I wanted it to be about something that appeared to be trite but was actually quite universal. Money is a preoccupation of everybody, and it took me quite a long time to write something that appeared to be simple. If you were to ask anybody in the City what they’re after, essentially the root of it is money. It’s the age-old thing of people thinking that it will make us happy.”

‘Playland’ is Marr’s second solo effort and the follow up to last year’s critically acclaimed (included the honor of being named as NME’s Godlike Genius) Top 10 debut album ‘The Messenger.’ Work on the album commenced in London in spring 2014 as soon as the year of touring in support of ‘The Messenger’ came to a close. It finds Marr continuing the creative connection that was forged on ‘The Messenger’ with collaborator and co-producer Doviak, as well as the other musicians who performed on the album and accompanying tour.”

Sneaking a serious concern, eh? What a dickhead.
