Random Manics thoughts...

I've been volunteering in a large charity shop of solely music & books for about 6 months now, we have hundreds of CDs and not once have we had a single Manics album! Not even a copy of Forever Delayed. It really surprised me, seeing as I've seen most of the other albums in other charity shops. The most Manics we've had was a Design For Life and Australia CD single, both of which I snapped up and took home! So the band are either really popular in my area and no one wants to donate their albums, or no one bought them in the first place

I often see EMG and TIMT in Poundland

When there is a Manics vid on Youtube that is from a festival, the sound is always horribly mixed.

Thanks to Hall or Nothing for their donation to the Velindre charity hike.

Read that as Jimmy Saville!!

Prologue to History sounds like a Richey lyric. Full of references and stuff.

Haha my Dad did that when I asked for a Jenny Saville hardcover book thing of art

I'm watching Storage Hunters. * And I saw a man on there that looked like Sean Moore. Also, he had long hair and a green T-shirt.

* I'm not that keen on it but Marc likes it.

A line in JDB's "Say Hello to The Pope" goes "I'll even dance to old-time music for you", and I must agree that there is no greater measure of a man's love than his willingness to make a fool of himself to the voice of Frank Sinatra.

I'm playing Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep on PSP and there was a moment when Maleficent ordered Terra to steal the light from Aurora's heart that reminded me of You stole the sun from my heart XD

I quite like Black Holes for the Young! It kept growing on me.

Indian Summer should be/have been used as a theme or as a incognito 'only fans would know' instrumental in that new Channel 4 thing called Indian Summers.

Like mould! Surely the most comically bad song they ever recorded, and only about 1.5% as good as Murder On the Dancefloor.

Listening to No Jubilees and Litany. They have that wintery Lifeblood atmosphere full of regrets and lost memories <3

There's much worse IMO - I probably meant to say that I can 'stand it' though. It's not good. But I can stand it.

I think Black Holes For the Young is one of their best B-sides and should have been on the album. So nurr.
