The Official 'Oh My God I heard the Manics on the TV/Radio' Thread II
I presume the old one got deleted, as I can't find it anywhere...so here's a new one!
I just heard Show Me The Wonder on James Martin: Home Comforts on BBC1. Random :lol: |
Walk Me To The Bridge on the snooker tonight. We were actually there for it and they played it on the monitors above the table - WMTTB in the background of waffle from JV and Nugget.
|
A few days ago in a café I heard Anthem. That surprised me pretty much, never expected to hear anything of them in a such a random situation here in Korea. The Manics aren't too obscure here either, but it is certainly not the music you'd expect to hear randomly at a random shop.
|
Heard them the other day at work in the shopping centre, it was Tolerate. It faded out towards the end of the "aaaaahhh" part. Was cool to hear them.
|
Motorcycle Emptiness is on Absolute Radio right now :D
|
They just played a bit of A Design For Life on Coronation Street.
|
Bits of Golden Platitudes and It's Not War… just used as background music on BBC Two's 'Super Cars Vs Used Cars: The Trade Off' (!)
|
Was surprised to hear Emigre on the radio the other day at work (a week on Tuesday I think), but as I was in a meeting I never got to ask what station. Probably Radio 2 or 6.

Australia was used on This Morning this, er, morning for something about... Australia.

pointless appearance again, songs which had won the ivo novello music award,
a design for ...... (Manic street preachers) Can anyone fill in the blank?? |
OK, this is a bit tenuous, but every time this ad is on TV right now:
http://youtu.be/onBVg97j3B8 I can't help replying to the TV, 'No, It's not war...!' |
A Design for Life on Corrie!!!
|
They're playing If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next now. On Frank Skinner's radio programme on Absolute Radio.
|
La Tristesse Durera earlier on Radio 2
|
James has just been on BBC2 Wales' Michael Sheen's Valleys Rebellion, as mentioned in the newspaper/magazine appearance thread, talking about the Chartist uprising and the Manics' beginnings as a band. He also did The View From Stow Hill solo, sat a table in Blackwood Miners' Institute, a short amount of which was shown initially and then also played over the end credits. Good programme too, with an emotional punch.

On Come Dine With Me on Wednesday, one of the contestants was Welsh. And they played a bit of the opening riff from A Design For Life when she made her starter.

They just played A Design for Life on Frank Skinner's radio programme.

Some very Autumnsong-like music on The Voice today when one of the singers was chosen
|
If You Tolerate This was the starter question in the music round on University Challenge.....for a while it looked like none of them knew it!
|
Tolerate was a 'starter question' on this evening's University Challenge.
<Edit> SNAP! :lol: |

Not TV or radio, but I was stuck in traffic on the M6 today, girl passed me in an open top car with From Despair... blasting out of her car stereo (might've been the radio). I was so impressed I found Motown Junk on my iPod, turned it up and rolled down my window...

Removables was just on Flog It on BBC1. How random!
|
Nick Naysmith on The One Show playing with Jimmy Somerville!
|
YLAINE on the local radio around 9am. made my day
|
Not TV/radio, but I was in Boots in Leeds this afternoon and Show Me The Wonder was playing.
|
Chronologically speaking the last Manics song I heard played in a shop et al was Your Love Alone. Nothing else from PFAYM, RTF or Futurology. (Though I heard Walk Me To The Bridge and - oddly - Europa Geht Durch Mich on the radio a few times last summer.)
I still hear Tolerate now and again. |
ADFL on Match of the Day just now.
'As we are told that this is the end' seems prophetic right now... |

Forgot to post this at the time, but I was walking round Trinity shopping centre in Wakefield the other week and ADFL was blasting out. Still gave me goosebumps!
