Postcards from a Young Man Survivor

[WhatsAManic]

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.
https://youtu.be/eHQG6-DojVw oh Nine MILLION bicycles!

[hummingbird]

Oh I thought it was a billion. Doesn't matter still made me think of a shit song so....

[Symmanine]

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.
Album: https://www.strawpoll.me/15730727
Engage With Your Shadow feels as useless as VHS, it unlocked its true potential.
B-sides: https://www.strawpoll.me/15730740

WHAT! I think i found it? really? WOW

[Son of Stopped]

Engage With Your Shadow is amazing! Philistines the lot of 'ya!!

[Marconi Delorian]

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!

[Suicide Aldi]

Engage qith your shadow is my all time favorite manics b side!!

[Routine Builder]

You guys really dislike the Nicky tracks don't you!

[hummingbird]

Engage with your shadow is their best postcards b-side.
Foolish people !
