Interesting read about the making of tolerate. |

Anyway, digressed again. I suspect James is more likely to be bothered about things not being right as he sees it. Bless him, that Hammersmith opening night for Postcards when he fucked up a couple of times, I bet he's still beating himself up about it now. I don't remember hearing Nicky say that about Underdogs/Welcome To The Dead Zone but can certainly believe it. I'm not sure myself either, maybe it's a familiarity thing and if I'd heard the reissue before the original, Underdogs would sound out of place. |

I think another factor is that the current generation of older bands also coincides with the ability for the music industry to shift physical CD's in the form of fancy box-sets. We don't know yet, but it'd be interesting to see if the current generation will have that attachment to physical releases in the future (which it's possible they don't.) So I think if there's a reason behind it - I'd imagine that the labels are keen to make the money while fans will still pay for it, hence a re-release of almost everything that had more than 5 fans. |

That (I think) partly explains how a fan who is just getting into a song might disagree with a band member who hates something they've just released. In their world, this tune is just an attempt to beat their last effort, and chances are it's been in their head for years before we get to hear it. That's what it was like for me anyway, so although it annoys me (and many others) that there are some amazing ignored songs in the Manics cannon, I can empathise with the apathy of the band towards certain tracks. |

I'd love to know more about when they realised Rewind The Film and Futurology were two separate albums rather than the double they'd spoke about going for.. Decent chance there are Futurology songs that are older than Rewind The Film ones. |
So any specification on this? Will a remastered Nobody Loved You be on disc 2? That'd be totally okey dokey with me, could just swap it out then.
Actually, I've even thought about a tracklist that has both of them there. Since penultimate or third to last is now the so called official positioning of Prologue on TIMTTY, why not? I already see how badly it fits if it's alone -- after Black Dog and before SYMM, some inexplicable baggy freakout. (The rawk chorus of Nobody Loved You works in the otherwise tender tracklist because its verses are so sparse and slow, no such connecting element in Prologue). But! If Nobody Loved You has prepared the ground for higher energy with it's final chorus, Prologue follows quite well actually. The album has a pretty good degree of eclectics musically so, if introduced by something also rocky, ithis baggy eridness works quite nice. The master on Prologue, however, is quite unfitting as is now. I sure hope they've made the song sound a bit thicker and smoother with the new master. However -- if Nobody Loved You remaster is not on disk two, then Prologue alone sounds...well, pretty stupid there. Not as weird as Welcome To The Dead Zone, a song with absolutely no intro, just splashing onto the scene as track two of Tigers. But still pretty odd. Just as odd as if Socialist Serenade just started wacking around. SYMM follows quite nicely from Prologue however, musically at least -- with its jagged ominous landscape. Only problem is, as of now, SYMM's master and mix are from another planet technically. It's absolutely ace while Prologue sounds like an okay b side. |

I wish they'd just hurry up and announce something. This is all getting just a little bit boring now waiting for this announcement.

It almost seems as though more was planned initially and then it just didn’t happen, and this is now a bit of an afterthought. Maybe after a tough period Nicky had other things on his mind so they didn’t make as big an event of it as they were initially planning.

They could just wait until next year and throw in the Millenium Stadium gig and then just play the one show there.

new year's eve gig ! Didn't go to the last one :)
