Was listening to Fear of Music by Talking Heads earlier and just realised "Heaven" has the chorus "Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens."

Never knew Nicky was a Talking Heads fan!

Spring is the only seasons which doesn't get an explicit mention in the album Send Away the Tigers.

Strangely I find it to be a very Spring album.

I'm sure I read they did write one 'Ruins Of Spring' but it was dumped

Too bad, it could have been a 4-seaons album.

Oh, wait! It reminds me of Keroro this way! The names of each member of the Hinata family in Keroro Gunsou are Natsumi (summer), Fuyuki (winter) and Aki (autumn). And no spring.

They did. the work in progress edit of No Manifesto featured a clip of James playing it. Shame it wasn't in the final edit.

How fucking mental would it be if the manics went more showbiz and ended everyone of their gigs from next year with the last chorus of every song they've played in the set?
Just played the once. And one after each other, with no regards to specialised tunings etc?

Was just going through some of my old stuff that's been in my parents attic for many many years. Found a roll of posters two full size ads for the SWSS/FTS singles that I used to have on my bedroom wall. On the other side of one of them was this gem:

Watching a Vice documentary called 'Teenage Heroin Epidemic'. A wonderful racist in Swansea quoted ifwhiteamerica (no black in the union jack etc). Don't think it was meant in the context, son.

PFAYM would have been better if the choir from SKON somehow got trapped in the record and in-between the songs on "Side 2" you can hear them moving about and opening doors that turn out to be locked etc.
