Random thought: why was there ever an (ill-fated) tour of Thailand at all? What was the commercial logic of the group performing there?
Did Thailand ever account for a significant number of sales of GATS and GT? Were the badn especially popular? It's something I've never understood.

I really hate 4st 7lbs. Only Manics song I hate with a passion. Really gets to me and gets me embarrassed when people mention it. Once my mam listened to it (it's hard not to when there's two Manics fans in the house) and she started bring up shit about my issues that should have been buried a long time ago. I find the interpretation of all ED suffers very annoying too. Not denying it's a good song with many good lyrics but yeah. Had to rant a bit. I also feel like the self injury themes make people who don't know me think that I'm some sort of CoR, maybe that's just my paranoia/anxiety talking.

In he last NME interview with Richey they mention rehearsing "Penny Royalty" by Nirvana and "Public Image" By PIL. I know they have done Penny Royalty but did Public Image ever get played? Was it one of those covers that bands play once and realise nobody knows it then never played it again? Anybody ever here it?

i sometimes look into appreciation or tumblr or other websites and smile of all those pictures circulating that i've digged out from official websites/scanned/found other way for all those years in the past.
ah those were times, first checking books/magazines for photo credits, then going through whole website in search of one or two pics. And all because on my first meetup Nicky said he hadn't remembered the pic I've given him to sign and asked me where it was taken! Just to find some data on that! Well, it turned out he was too drunk that day to remember anything from that photosession *giggles*

I often listen to tracks on YouTube and just now accidentally entered 'Manic Street Preachers' - i.e. without any song title - only to find Underdogs is recommended as the 'most popular' Manics track on YouTube!
(The next three are more logical: Tolerate, Motorcyle Emptiness, Design For Life.) Why would this be?

Read the new Richey article. It really fucking hurts my heart
 Also, the fact that he's overlooked because he's not the missing person the media would favour makes me want to cry.

I guess it's more of a question but this is probably the best place to query this, cause I kinda fell off the loop for a fair while and I'm not really up to date on what's been happening in Manicsland. Have we gotten any more recordings of the National Treasures Live gig since the Futurology bonus disc?

For reasons unfathomable the band's official YouTube VEVO channel has just uploaded a random interview with Nicky from 2012 - and labelled it 2004.
