Postcards from a Young Man Survivor
 

It had to happen at some point, and now we've reached survivor number 11. Due to the potential length of this survivor (thanks to the number of B-sides) I was also considering also incorporating the National Treasures era tracks after the main album survivor has ended. Anyway...
All survivors have now ended; the Rewind the Film Survivor starts 4th June.

Billion balconies cos the title reminded me of that billion bicycles song by I can't remember who

Ostopolitik cos it's boring

Who voted for the title track ??

I guess you mean Katie Melua?

Or that Queen track, on repeat... "Bicycle! Bicycle!..." :D

And it's Ostpolitik! I don't know why, but I used to put the extra 'o' in all the time tooo. Oh.

I haven't been playing these, might do on this one.

Katie melua that's it :)

There are nine billion bicycles in Beijing. That's a fact.

Can't remember who sang it? Katie Mulerer? No. It's in my head now anyway, thanks.
https://youtu.be/eHQG6-DojVw oh Nine MILLION bicycles!

Oh I thought it was a billion. Doesn't matter still made me think of a shit song so....

My least fave. album... it's not a bad-bad- album.. just not a very good Manics-album. Still contains some awesome songs though. There's an acustic cover of SKON on youtube that really show just how much of a wonderful tune that lies there beneath the over-blown-production.

I Think I Found It has hidden from the light.

Engage With Your Shadow feels as useless as VHS, it unlocked its true potential.
B-sides: https://www.strawpoll.me/15730740

WHAT! I think i found it? really? WOW

Engage With Your Shadow is amazing! Philistines the lot of 'ya!!

Engage With Your Shadow is one of the most interesting songs they've done, but as long as some boring sing-along bside wins, that's great!

Engage qith your shadow is my all time favorite manics b side!!

You guys really dislike the Nicky tracks don't you!

Engage with your shadow is their best postcards b-side.
Foolish people !

Hazelton Avenue accepted its apologies.
