i saw reviews saying the tone-arm was too light.. think a wodge of blu-tac on it to weigh it down would stop it skipping but may damage your records

We thought it was because my dad's records were so old and had been in the loft for ages they might have warped a bit, but I got a brand new one so when that skipped I was a bit suspicious. Left it all to my dad since he's Mr Technology, I'll trust him saying the new one works

Annoying it doesn't come with a download, I thought we were getting a right bargain compared to the Amazon price. Suppose I'll need to support the tax avoiding wanks after all.

Whisky and coke all summer long. I'm doing my best to find myself a new place in the hell that is part time retail but unsuccessful so far. Never mind that I've had a job without a break since I was 17 or whatever, clearly not good enough to work Asda's checkouts

yay


now before Takk shouts at us .. back on topic..

I'm bored shitless of waiting for this album .. HURRY THE FUCK UP JULY

[Porco]

Presumably the promotional work will start cranking up a bit soon… though they'll have some job to do as much as they did for RTF.

How impatient have we got considering the last album was only last year?! lol

It does seem like this has been on the brink of being released for ages somehow though.

[lauren--c]

I think it's cause they pretty much announced it in some way when they said they had too many songs for RTF so everyone knew it was coming!

[Zee]

Any tour of Canada this time around? Miss seeing these guys live.

[burnleybassman]

Anyone know what CD formats the album going to be released with? Hoping for another book style double disc edition.

[Porco]

Amazon think the album is back to being released on 7th July again now. Not sure what that was all about.

A good old fashioned Manic's album release campaign. Keep em guessing!
