Also, I watched Couples Come Dine With Me a couple of hours ago and one of the contestants looked like Patrick Jones.

But I do. But I dooo-doo-dooooo!

Don't hate the song, hate the people who bought it.

Thread win. Brilliant.

Bass line in Misguided Missile is fantastic <3

No-One Knows What it's Like to be Me is the perfect teenage angst song.

The EMG era b-sides are far better than they're given credit for.

I was digging in my CD collection and found a CD-R of Manics b-sides and stuff like "The Ghost Of Christmas".
But I meant to ask, is it "Starlover" or "UK Channel Boredom" Sean sings on?
I can hear the Bradfield genes in his voice, but I'm guessing UKCB or he never sang at all.

I watch these videos in the hope someone will hold up a manics album.. i may be waiting the rest of my life but this is the closest yet. You can see Futurology behind her ...

MSP's merchandise stall needs to reintroduce sweary fridge magnets. http://i1028.photobucket.com/albums/...ps20suwxml.jpg

they need something to spice up the merch... it's all got really dull

Perhaps they should do a Manic Street Preachers spice rack then. :P

practical merch.... i like it :)

Apparently Nick Abbott slagged off the Manics last night on LBC, saying that he hated them and he was glad they were on tour because they were all in one place, preferably far from him!
