Oh dear, he's been reading this forum? Doesn't sound like it was a mistake he made twice.
What a guy, i really enjoyed all his behind the scenes rock and/or roll stories of the crazy manics work ethic...
James and tom competing to see who can sing the loudest makes perfect sense and i'm left, you're right, she's gone is easily the best track on reload with james being the only singer on there who can match him.
I understand our fandom's obsession with the minutiae sometimes but i didn't understand the underdogs obsession then and i still don't so that was quite a mic drop when he reckons there is no edit, no wonder i could never hear it.
His top 10/16 was a bit mad but i'd rather a top 10 of non-single stuff and more of deep dive into the tracks that eringa gave us and neil from the welsh music podcast.
Really interesting chat though and i'd love to hear what their stalwart collaborator loz williams has to say, if he ever does stuff like this that is.

Disk beginning to rotate, faster, becoming a sphere of paler gray. Expanding -
And flowed, flowered for him, fluid neon origami trick, the unfolding of his distanceless home, his country, transparent 3D chessboard extending to infinity.
Inner eye opening to the stepped scarlet pyramid of the Eastern Seaboard Fission Authority burning beyond the green cubes of Mitsubishi Bank of America,
and high and very far away he saw the spiral arms of military systems, forever beyond his reach.
And somewhere he was laughing, in a white-painted loft, distant fingers caressing the deck, tears of release streaking his face.
