He wakes up, makes a Nespresso and gets into his hire-purchase car. Britpop the Ultimate Collection 2 CD album sits glistening on the passenger seat in the glow of the streetlights. He's on his way. Mondeo Man is awoken. It is time.

"EMG Tour Cancelled!"
Misread a forum topic. But is it an omen?...

Saw a random internet news headline - "Man Burns His Own Van Because He Was Bored".
My brain automatically pressed the play button - "tonight we watch the burning caaaars shining bright, was it boredom is not the skyyyyyy enough"♪

Really random question, but this picture has popped up on their wikipedia page, and is apparently from 2010, but i can't for the life of me figure out which gig. any idea's? i can't think of when in that period they had video screens in the background, or that brand of stage monitors.

Could it be from a festival? The stage looks huge.

Bizarrely, I've not listened to the manics now for possibly 6 months - not a single song and the sad thing is it doesn't bother me as much as it should. Am I growing out of love? who knows.

I imagine you'll get back into them and wonder why it took so long.

Manics ask: "So why so sad?"
The Drones respond: "It's sad, so fucking sad!"

Do people still collect? Bought a Rewind The Film one track promo yesterday, wasn't even sure it existed. Nice one.

Does anyone know if there's an easy way to do a mash-up? Very taken by the idea I mentioned on the Great Western thread of putting some of JDB's solo stuff and Nicky's solo stuff together to create 'lost Manics album', but I wouldn't know how to do it.

Itunes playlist?

Haven't done any mash-ups myself, but having played around a bit with Adobe Audition, I can kinda imagine how it might be done, so I'd suggest this one.
But Audition is not for free, so maybe you'll prefer Audacity. Haven't explored it enough yet, but it's very popular and seems not so complicated either.

Thanks for the tip!

Not songs from the two albums, but the actual music track from one song (right down to individual instruments) mixed with the vocal track from another.

Saw this today in a charity shop, of course it made me think of the Manics straight away: http://www.amazon.co.uk/John-Difool-...dp/273161210X/
