I was watching the quite silly/trashy/but fun 'Shannara Chronicles' the other day and (minor spoiler) an elven character had a flying beast of some sort whose name was 'Genowyn' (with a soft-G!)... I couldn't help but wonder if the creature in question had ever been referred to as 'smiles', in the beginning, when certain people were winning.

game of thrones is on as Marc borrowed it on DVD from someone at work.

A couple of minutes ago, a woman said to a man You're a dumb c**t, so that reminded me of the second line of yes.

Holy Bible Tour 'handgun' t-shirt came today (yes, I know...).

It really is every bit as good as I'd hoped. Rather pleased, to put it mildly. One of the best t-shirts they've ever done.

Umm, I get the joke, but don't think it works quite as well as its author thinks.

Woke up with 'Patrick Bateman' as an earworm, but with my little internal JDB singing 'Captain Caveman' instead of 'Patrick Bateman'.

My life has changed forever.

The short edit of Motorcycle Emptiness angers me far more than it rationally should.

I just feel it is robbing me of quality musical moments!

I always feel the same with the edit of From Despair to Where.

However, the short edit of The Everlasting... well, that's just a blessing.

True, but the Everlasting is waaay waaay too long. And bleak.

Well after reading Rolling Stone's Top 10 Prince songs... As voted for by readers, if they ever did a Top 10 Manics songs, it'd probably be all the singles from EMG and Motorcycle Emptiness, with Tolerate... at number 1.

Was just looking on the official Manics store, and noticed that in the CD section a lot of their older albums on CD are £4.99. Except Lifeblood, which is only £3.99. They really might not be keen on it, but least they are putting the money where their mouths are I guess!

Browsing a recent issue of Q (I know, I know), I chanced upon a photo of Kanye West (of all people) wearing a jacket onto which was sewn the Richey 4REAL image.

Now, presumably I'm not the only person on here to have noticed this, so: what's the backstory - if there is one?

The jacket is by designer Raf Simons.
Music has formed an integral part of Simons’ work, with references to musical figures such as the Manic Street Preachers's Richey Edwards and Joy Division’s Ian Curtis and his Fall-Winter 1998 collection (Radioactivity) featuring members of German electro band Kraftwerk as models.
