Postcards from a Young Man Survivor

It had to happen at some point, and now we've reached survivor number 11. Due to the potential length of this survivor (thanks to the number of B-sides) I was also considering also incorporating the National Treasures era tracks after the main album survivor has ended. Anyway...
All survivors have now ended; the Rewind the Film Survivor starts 4th June.

I guess you mean Katie Melua?

Or that Queen track, on repeat... "Bicycle! Bicycle!..."

And it's Ostpolitik! I don't know why, but I used to put the extra 'o' in all the time tooo. Oh.

I haven't been playing these, might do on this one.

There are nine billion bicycles in Beijing. That's a fact.

Can't remember who sang it? Katie Mulerer? No. It's in my head now anyway, thanks.

My least fave. album... it's not a bad-bad- album.. just not a very good Manics-album. Still contains some awesome songs though. There's an acustic cover of SKON on youtube that really show just how much of a wonderful tune that lies there beneath the over-blown-production.

I Think I Found It has hidden from the light.

Engage With Your Shadow feels as useless as VHS, it unlocked its true potential.

Engage With Your Shadow is one of the most interesting songs they've done, but as long as some boring sing-along bside wins, that's great!
