The two new Spotify playlists they've put together aren't bad, although it's a little surprising the U.S. one is so heavily weighted towards grunge.
It's even more surprising that the Wire doesn't do more Spotify playlists, like at least five per day.

Listening to that Live at the O2 thing released a while ago, Wayne Murray sings 'Live to kill, kill for kicks' on Slash N' Burn. Repeatedly.

I like it how the pronunciation of "Mayakovsky" differs in the demo version from its official track. Looks like the Manics do care about foreign languages after all. It all also fits the European concept of the album.

I got a new iPhone this week and suddenly all music sounds soooooo good. My ears are really taking a battering: I keep re-playing Slash 'n' Burn and GATS (track, not whole album) and Judge Yr'self. Also thinking about different interpretations of the phrase 'gold against the soul'. Yes, also aware of the tension between the themes of these songs and pleasure brought about by the purchase of consumer goods.

Just found this tonight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7vWCiPt_Nk
That festival in 1996 was my first 'contact' with Manics and the interview is with Much Music, the Canadian music channel, so I was really delighted to see this. It includes clips from the show at Toronto's Opera House in 1992 - it is clear that Nicky was lying when he recalled, at the recent Toronto show, that there were only about four people there on that night (same banter every night in North America, maybe?). The video proves there was a full mosh pit in effect!

Found two Manics Interview CDs in a charity shop today (though I have them so didn't buy them). Probably the most interesting manics related CD I've seen in a charity shop in a while. See plenty of copies of Truth and EMG and occasionally some of the other early albums. Started looking in the vinyl sections again recently so hopefully I'll one day come across some singles or albums cheap if they don't price them up too much.
