Manics on Twitter

[hummingbird]

if they're going to cover the jesus and mary chain i hope they make it more tuneful

'Sonic Youth guitars' sounds good to me, come on you Manics!

I haven't looked at the Postcards twitter page before, but from just from reading that I feel alot more positive about this album. I'm presuming some of the tweets are lyrics, which is good because I think introspective Nicky is Nicky at his best.

Should this title be the German word for East-politics?? Then there is one "o" too much in the middle. Or is "ostopolitik" a Russian term?

Please, FD, twitter him and ask before it's printed on the cover of a single!

If he reads the question he might think about it again.
But maybe it was just a typo on twitter...

There have been a boatload of typos and odd grammatical things on the Twitter thus far - kind of like sometimes is the case with Nicky's handwritten letters.

Ooooooh, this sounds exciting! Yay for krautrock drum beats, jazzed about what Sonic Youth guitars should indicate.

Reading Broken Up Again just made me hear James singing it Never Want Again style. So that heavy metal tamla direction did make it to campaign in the end.

I'm waiting for James to say "Fuck, how am I going to explain this one!? Thanks, Wire!"

Fantastic to see the Twitter account in use, I wonder if this is a lyric from "(It's Not War) Just The End Of Love"?
It Seems to match the mood of the title...

Seems like a bit of a misunderstanding of the concept of 'peace'.
