Think James has also done another few minutes with large segment related to crisps.

No the lists are still there, under the ‘list menu’, (just not in that news post for some reason):

‘All of my voids, they are filled with crisps / all of my crisps, are attempts to fill the voids’, or something

If only Brexit was framed in terms of crisp flavours, James might have had an easier time. I'll leave the more high minded of you to infer his vote from the 5 choices provided.

[Europa Gluten Free]

Surprised he could find it in him to make a decision on the 5 to be fair.

[IntlDebris]

Wish he'd stop doing that hand shakey thing.

I love the way James has been talking about crisps. like he has to. his small talk and quirky interviews, thoughts and skill indicates his higher intellect

In reference to the latest track-by-track video… Richard Jobson dancing for 6 minutes https://youtu.be/avsV14DryA0?si=_X3kfnhleRr6_UxH

A solid session crisp was unintentionally hilarious.

A huge piece of the Decline&Fall puzzle fell into place with it being 4th written. And probably a track built up in the studio compared to played live of People Ruin Paintings then?
I'd say the excitement is coming.

Haha, I also love the way he said the make was by Real crisps.

The last one…

That’s a real dark horse it’s like a sleeper of a crisp

A fucking sleeper of a crisp

If it's good enough for Newspapers and Magazines it fits like a glove on this thread.

I've got to say, that's the best Manics (or any other band) interview I've read in a very long time. Articles like that are what I used to spend my money on the NME to read and is increasingly becomingly a forgotten art.

I agree, that's an interesting article. (I didn't notice it was the same as LAex mentions.) I think the interviewer once interviewed RIchey and Nicky, that was on youtube. Also interesting she says some of the Critical Thinking songs were written by James.

I so want to make a poll about funniest things in that interview. It's going to be James and hugs isn't it? Brand new fear unlocked: Hugging a cardboard cutout of James.
Please respect James doesn't like hugs if you meet him.
Sean's eye contact avoidance sheds new light on their recent performance footage.
I think James secretly wanting a Parfitt & Rossi heads down is funny.
All that time journalism used to be funniest slagging off of things. Now the funniest thing is just reporting on who they actually are!
Also I misread and jumped to wrong conclusion when saw "front seat" and "concertina" in same sentence.

Fantastic Observer article (with more than a few typos!). Made me realise why I love this band so much.
