Ha ha Matt, this first line from myspace sums it up:
"It has often been said that Matt Johnson’s absences between projects are longer than most band’s entire careers..."
I've only ever been mildly interested in The The where Johnny Marr's concerned.
How many songs are there with harmonica, and does Johnny do them all?
Myspace has a poor layout. And the descriptions go on and on, it's very tedious reading. But it hasn't stopped everyone from getting a space on there, I guess. (Trashcan Sinatras added recently, ouch!)
