SKON on SCD performance....

Can't believe a year has flown by since this performance, it's still great and helped them get some more sales for the PFAYM album at the time. The song still makes me emotional when I listen to it, not this performance as such, but it's still brilliant.
Makes me wish they'd appear on TV more these days to the masses. Manics forever!!

I still think the third single should've been All We Make Is Entertainment, and then playing on Strictly might have had a bit more merit other than just trying to sell some more records.

I was disappointed. I'd expected Nicky to wear a nice ballgown, at least.

I was disappointed that Pamela and her partner at the time didn't do a waltz to it.

It still grates on me to be honest. Fine if they want to do promo, no great problem with that. But Wire calling it a "situationist spectacle" was ridiculous.

Still got this on Sky+. I remember the drama on this thread in the run up to their appearance over James losing his voice. But it was... the band performing a song backed by a huge choir on a show I've never watched before or since.

But I did like that "Not smiling but actually secret smiling" James did to Nicky when it was all over.

I never notice that James lost his voice...

I remember saying to my mum that he had been struggling with his voice when the show came on.

Well there was a couple of gigs that got rescheduled because his voice started going on the last tour. A few steroids injected into the throat later and hey presto! An appearance on a BBC TV show that made no real difference to the chart performance of SKON.

Aye, aside from SKON being wank, that was my main gripe with the whole endeavour.
