Happy birthday Sean!

And as my actual random: Do you really believe them that they haven't written a song all year?
True, I've gone for months without writing anything and then it all comes back. But a whole year?

This may seem blindingly obvious but I've only just realised that Nostalgic Pushead is 'Pus-head' as opposed to 'Push-head'. Always been thinking 'what's a 'push-head' when I've listened to it. Finally makes sense now!

Are you guys serious?!

From the guy that took approximately eight years to 'get' why a 2:2 degree is known as a 'Desmond'.

Superb. Judge Yr'self was fun live, would love to hear James play Love Torn Us Under.

I used to have the Wills and Harry lyric from Sculpture of Man on the back of an army shirt, got weird looks at school.

I always felt Sculpture Of Man, Love Torn Us Under, Too Cold Here and Judge Yr'self were special treats from that era* - looking back I don't think of any of them would have fitted on the actual album, but they're certainly high quality tracks. (Yes, even Too Cold Here.)

One question: is that unsettling, ticking, clicking noise on Love Torn Us Under a metronome or something else? If so, what?

*Yes, I know Judge Yr'self was released much later, but it was written and I believe even recorded in 1995.

A film projector if I read right.

I had a very weird dream last night. There were some temporal and spatial paradoxes at one of Manics's gigs. Sean was 15, James was 40 and Nicky wasn't even on stage.

For some weird reason, I'd just love to be at that gig. Especially if Wayne Murray was absent and the keyboards were deserted?

Someone just listed the 4 disc edition of GT for £16.50 buy it now, or best offer! Maybe they meant to put £165, or maybe they actually think its only worth that!

(Sorry can't post a link as I saw it on the ebay app)

I could only see this one:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Manic-Stre...-/141738615007

But it isn't 'Buy It Now', it's a standard auction with almost a week to run, so it will probably go for more than the starting price. Still worth keeping an eye on at this point if anyone is interested though.

There's also a promo of the 3CDs+1DVD on as well, currently at £19.99, 0 bids with 3 days to run:

Looks like its been relisted and changed. The one on my watchlist has now ended.
