The Pixies were in town Friday at the Fox Theater. If you missed it, music legend SW3000 wrote an exclusive review of the show. Here it is:
Show was great. They sounded a hundred times better than they did at the state when I saw them 5-6 years ago. Not sure if it was the venue or that they've been playing together again for so long now. Couple highlights: Frank's (or Black's I'm not sure what name he's using now) was awesome. He can still do all the screams. And Joey's guitaring was cool. They started out with 4 b-sides and then they did the whole Doolittle album from 1-15 right in a row. Stuff I really liked from Doolittle: Tame, Dead, #13 Baby, There goes my gun. Then they left and came back for an encore.
Highlights of the encore were Umass and Into the white and for that song they had a fog machine so you couldn't see the band for most of the song. Then they wrapped it up with Where is my mind and Gigantic.
Sound was great at the fox I really have no complaints other than I thought the drums could be a little louder. There's two things I can criticize, one was the length of the show. I think the total length of playing was probably less than an 1:30. I just saw a bunch of almost 60 year olds (rush) and they played for over two hours. They could easily have played for 2 hours, it's not like they're lacking for material. Also Kim Deal did all the chatting between songs. Frank didn't say one thing, which I thought was kind of annoying. Anyways it was cool.
Talk to you later. sw3000

The BBC's John Wilson had the rare opportunity to interview Morrissey yesterday. They discussed the legacy of the Smiths and talked about Morrissey's solo work. Morrissey also explained why song titles are more important than the songs themselves, nixed the idea of a Smiths reunion, and revealed he's written his autobiography. According to Moz, the autobiography is in the "redrafting" stage, and may be out as early as next year. Listen to the entire 13 minute interview here.
Morrissey will release the Very Best of Morrissey in the U.K. next Monday. The collection features 18 audio tracks and a bonus DVD with 11 promotional videos.

A Ministry documentary that has been years in the making finally premiered at a film festival in Chicago on Thursday, but it wasn't without controversy. Fix: the Ministry Movie's director has been involved in a legal battle with Ministry kingpin Al Jourgensen. Jourgensen was not in attendance at the premiere and was not a part of the Q & A session which followed the screening. Additionally Jourgensen also claims he was not invited to a WaxTrax! records two day celebration that was held this weekend in Chicago.
Read about the Ministry documentary and WaxTrax controversy here and also here's Jourgensen's statement. Hopefully everything gets resolved because the film promises to be amazing.

Soundgarden has announced some details/dates for an upcoming tour this summer. No Detroit date has been announced (yet) but more dates will be announced soon.
Meanwhile, if you're a fan, check out this article about Soundgarden's reunion. The band has revealed their original tweet in the early hours of January 2010 was mistaken (the tweet was sent out because they were only going to launch a new website, not reform).

Johnny Marr has officially left the Cribs. Here's a portion of the official statement posted on the band's official website:
So, as some of you may know by now The Cribs are gonna be a 3-piece again. That is a slightly less dramatic way of saying that Johnny Marr is no longer in the band. We don't want it to be seen as a split, that just has so many negative connotations and really doesn't represent the way everyone is feeling right now...
No one is down about this in our camp. It's actually the start of a really exciting phase for everyone. Johnny has gone back to The Healers and is writing a new record, and we are really honestly loving being back together as just 3 brothers literally playing in the basement/garage again. Right now we are in Portland and demoing in Gary's basement and it feels so liberating. We have a bunch of new songs and are embracing the lo-fi again. It never was about fancy studios and LA and all that. We are back in our usual environment and feeling good about it. We've got everything we need.

British tabloid the Sun reported earlier today that the Stone Roses were reuniting. Now NME has gotten word from bassist Mani that the report in the Sun is false. Mani told NME John Squire and Ian Brown had met up recently--at the funeral for Mani's mother. Mani told NME, "Two old friends meeting up after 15 years to pay their respects to my mother does not consititue the reformation of the Stone Roses...it isn't true and isn't happening."
