Drug Drug Druggy heard in Prague, Czechoslavia
So I spent September 2018 living in Prague. Prague is fucking beautiful in September. The weather is still good but there aren't so many tourists around. I lived around the back of Prague Castle and would often go for a walk up around Petrin Gardens as the sun went down and would gaze over the Vltava and all the lights of the city in the distance. It was special.
Anyway one night I was out running near Prague Castle and as I passed a bar I heard a familiar song. It was a guitar solo that I'd heard before but not for a while. It was Drug Drug Druggy. I didn't go into the bar as I'm a wanton alcoholic but found it to be quite strange. Do the Czechs have a Manics problem? Why this song in particular? Drug Drug Druggy sounds like a commercial for a breakfast cereal targeted at young children. The chorus line should be Yum Yum Yummy. Toasted oats with sweet lush honey! See? |

It would be amazing to have a Czech fanbase but I think it could possibly be an expat playing the track.
It is great recognising tracks by their guitar solos. Proper unable to put a foot forward because you're too busy thinking "Damn, what is this? I know it! I know it!" etc. |

Let's not shit on the Drug Drug Druggy parade but it's more likely some Spotify algorithm spitting it out as part of some playlist.

The people seem to be very Scottish over there. Everyone looks angry and drunk and they are really Godless too which is excellent and you can buy cannabis in a lot of the pubs in Prague 3. |

Could well be. What song afterward would convince you it was not a shitty algorithm? |

When I think of Bratislava I think of Hostel, so the song seems fitting.

Can't say I've ever heard the Manics played when overseas (asides from Tolerate when in Australia), but if I heard a fairly obscure album track being played in a pub as I walked past I'd definitely go in for a drink.

We had a very successful screening of No Manifesto in Prague.

prague strikes me as somewhere where the manics would be surprisingly big. |

I grew up in Croatia and it's nothing unusual to hear a Manics' song every here and there. Rare, sure, but not that surprising.
Korea, on the other hand.... I should have signed that day I heard Anthem for a Lost Cause on the calendar and celebrate it each year.

Split is nice, full of historical cultural heritage. Were you on holidays, or something else?

There are Manics fans there, there is a pub in Ostrava where you can ask for The Holy Bible and you get it. But tge fans are growing old with the band.
