A quick gander at Amazon Canada's Brit music section shows a resurgence of Postcards - #6 on that list. A couple of other albums are also on the list.

James comes second in public vote for Wales' Greatest Living Voice... behind Shakin' Stevens!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-33116823

Was listening to Fear of Music by Talking Heads earlier and just realised "Heaven" has the chorus "Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens."

Never knew Nicky was a Talking Heads fan!

i thought katherine jenkins would win that.. Who the hell voted for shakin' stevens ? :lol:

Lets just pretend James won :)

Shaky must have one big family to vote for him, lol

Yes, I think most people are!

Truth! It was bizarre.

Spring is the only seasons which doesn't get an explicit mention in the album Send Away the Tigers.

Strangely I find it to be a very Spring album.

I'm sure I read they did write one 'Ruins Of Spring' but it was dumped

Too bad, it could have been a 4-seaons album. :)
Oh, wait! It reminds me of Keroro this way! The names of each member of the Hinata family in Keroro Gunsou are Natsumi (summer), Fuyuki (winter) and Aki (autumn). And no spring.

They did. the work in progress edit of No Manifesto featured a clip of James playing it. Shame it wasn't in the final edit.

How fucking mental would it be if the manics went more showbiz and ended everyone of their gigs from next year with the last chorus of every song they've played in the set?
Just played the once. And one after each other, with no regards to specialised tunings etc?

Was just going through some of my old stuff that's been in my parents attic for many many years. Found a roll of posters two full size ads for the SWSS/FTS singles that I used to have on my bedroom wall. On the other side of one of them was this gem:
