Haha to be fair most of those songs on Lifeblood after track 4 (apart from To Repel Ghosts) just mould into one big shit-fest

"I must give up on this- it makes no sense at all"

Him singing on any future album tracks?

Continuing to promote a massively shit album?

[Dancing Kirby]

It's a very prescient lyric, mind. You know, in terms of the paralysed future that would go on to become the next three Manics albums and him knowing it was time to give up there and then.

Happy Ending and then this. Damn, the man couldn't wait to get out of it all back then. What went wrong?

Can we have a pointless fight about which 3 songs they'll play? Where people use acronyms and I get very confused.

Or even if they'll do 3 songs at all? What if they do 2? Or 4??? THIS IS V. IMPORTANT.

I'd say that's pretty much guaranteed!

[helvissa]

Oh hurrah!

"I bet they'll play Postcards stuff."
"Nooo...! Noooo! They should play *random obscurity about 3 people have ever heard*"
"Waaaah play Tristesse!"
"I hate Gold Against The Soul!" <-- thread derails for 27 pages while the merits and demerits of Gold Against The Soul is discussed, with a side helping of "Was Simon Price right to say Tristesse was 'the last great baggy anthem'?"
"They should play Bath of Bleach. If they don't, I'm burning all my CDs."
"You can't burn CDs."
"Well.... ok... heat them up and warp them a bit."
"SUICIDE ALLEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Yeah, but with less exclamation marks."
"Why are you so mean to them?"
"Sorry Sean, is that you?"

etc.

I'm sure she is a girl, still weird though

[The Gutless Wonder]

Yes, the slating of Cardiff Afterlife, Lifeblood in general and Postcards is all incredibly odd to me. Oh well.

Adapting the gender would ruin the obscure quotation though .

You know, it's ironic - a few posts ago you described Nick as a 'sad fuck', but you're the one who keeps posting on the forum of a band who you obviously have disliked for some time. Nothing better to do with your time? Nope, thought not.
