5th of September at London Roundhouse there's a Mark Lanegan tribute.
Josh Homme and Bobby Gillespie billed. "Very special guests" at bottom.
No idea if Manics will be there. Probably should go in Random Music Thoughts downstairs.
Hopefully it's another post hindsight can laugh at me over.

In Decline and Fall I have an issue with the (I imagine conscious choice) of the verses before the first chorus having the fall off lines and then the verses after the first chorus being clipped at the end of each line. What is the artistic point of that?

I think at the end of each line there's a sense of despair...

It's an 'homage' or fromage even to 'put a little love in your heart' or at least that's what stuck in my head when I heard it first

Went to see Duff McKagan last night - surprisingly he didn't perform A Billion Balconies Facing the Sun.

The singer in the support band (James and the Cold Gun) was wearing a Manics t-shirt though, which made me wonder if they'd discussed them at all.

The band were relatively youngish looking but also said they were from South Wales. Musically they had some earlyish Manics touches to what they played.

No idea where to post this but looks like Liam Gallagher has confirmed Manics as support for Oasis next summer.

Which is great for those of us with tickets :-)
