Random Manics thoughts...

What is slightly bizarre, perhaps especially for us Manics fans, is apparently she secretly found out she had cancer over six years ago, which would put it right about the time Jackie Collins' Existential Question Time was released to the public. Which is kind of grimly ironic, having a song called that, as she must have been questioning the existential herself at the time. Obviously if it was a secret the band couldn't have known, just another one of those weird cosmic coincidences.

Thanks for the find.

Oh my, I'd freak out if I were her.
May she rest in peace.

Time for Jackie Collins Existential Question Time: If a married man f***s a pig, and his wife dies without knowing, does it make him a bestialist?

[Suicide Aldi]

Yes

I wonder if the dude(tte) who keeps rounding up the Manics Velindre fundraising total will be back soon to take care of the 11 cent total.

No, the resemblance has been commented on before.

James must have been lying in No Manifesto when he said he doesn't like The Beatles. Well I've always known Wire is not a person to trust but I haven't seen that one coming from JDB. And Sean has got guns. And Richey disappeared.

I don't even think they laughed when Lennon were shot and as far as I can find out, none of them designed or built any buildings to justify being called an architect.
They may as well have sang "I lost the international rights to Barney the Dinosaur"!

Tch, it's not even the real McCartney! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8W9_qN64S4s

GBF of my BFF's New Girlfriend: Aaron, what the fuck do you watch to relax? This is making me go white and I haven't smoked anything!

I'm pretty sure James doesn't like The Beatles, he always pulled a face when Nicky said SATT (?) would sound like Abbey Road etc. Which is weird, if anythind I'd expect James and Nicky to be the other way round.

If James really doesn't like The Beatles, then I hope he doesn't see the interview for Korean MTV that my friend showed me, where, while he can clearly be heard saying "Sex Pistols", when talking of their music influences, the subtitles said "Beatles".

Facepalm! Not only unneeded censorship, but it's also not such an innocent one... And James would be mad too.

S.Y.M.M would be great in the soundtrack of a really dark murder mystery somewhere in the moors of England. Not just saying that because of the name but because of the atmosphere it evokes. It's a very atmospheric song.

Also, make it happen in a snowy wintery scenery.

I always imagined my JRPG-ish 16-bit characters wandering at the snowy side of the world map somewhere near the end of the game, when the story "gets serious".
