Pre show music identification help! - Forever Delayed

EuropaDisco · #1 23-01-2011, 22:18

Hey I was wondering of anyone could help identify a name/artist of one of the songs that played over the PA before the band took to the stage? There was a great song that played about a song or two after Love Like Blood by Killing Joke on the playlist.... it had a female vocal and had lyrics in the chorus something like " ... you don't know what you're fighting for". Almost rnb-ish vocally but quite fast and upbeat. Any ideas people?

Ladytron - Destroy Everything You Touch.

I agree, hearing "Love Like Blood" and "Destroy Everything You Touch" was so cool. Two tunes I love (oddly enough I saw Ladytron support Nine Inch Nails at this venue). Just as the Manics were about to take to the stage, I recognised "What Difference Does It Make" by The Smiths. The song you're after A Plus was mentioned on Twitter *I think*, I'm struggling to remember who it was.

I'm not sure if it's Manics Postcards or Boy Cried Wolf. I was quickly checking my phone on Saturday, whilst waiting for the Manics to take to the stage.

I was delighted to hear Desire Lines by Deerhunter on the Friday. It was one of the last songs before the band came on. As i have not seen he band, this was the loudest I've heard them.

Hi
Was it cold war by janelle monae?
I wasn't there but from your description that immediately springs to mind.

I've found it! It was on Manic Street Maina's twitter. Was the song "French Disko" by Stereolab?

Yess! That's it exactly! Thanks for the heads up, what an amazing song. Thanks for all the help guys, you've actually introduced me to some ace tunes through this search. The Manics really did have a great playlist

Love it
