[hummingbird]

[starstruck]

down here, on top of Duran Duran, U2 and Neil Diamond over the next few months, we have - get this - Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer doing a gig.

if the Manics and Jedward do a song together, it will be fuck Vanilla and fuck MC, i am getting on a fucking plane for that one.

AWESOME!!!! Fingers crossed

been feeling a bit homesick anyway. the last time i was in the UK it was to see the Manics & Ian Brown - only the Manics and Jedward can top that.

Unfortunately you would need to do something that radical to shift that song. Really poor choice.

[The Gutless Wonder]

I don't think it's a poor choice at all. Wanted it released as a single as soon as I heard it!

[UEF]

It's a good song, again, I don't know if I'll stump up the cash.

[Mark]

Whether anyone personally likes the song or not, it's surely the most radio friendly, and airplay is the important thing for a band like the Manics.

[Beat Poet]

Best of a bad bunch I think, the first three tracks are the only ones suitable for single release. I'd have preferred PFAYM (the only track on the album I truly like) to be second, but it'll hopefully be the third and last.

Go to the Nicky on BBC Breakfast link, that song is going to be flying high in the Christmas charts if we all put some effort in!!!

I've ordered my three copies of it from Townsend and will do my usual round at HMV!

I would agree with this,there is nothing else on the album which would be any good as a single,

[Son of Stopped]

I think Golden Platitudes has got good single potential. But if the extra Japanese tracks are the b-sides then I think we won't get a third single.
So SKON: "Shit or Bust" it is!

[everlasting]

I'll place my order to this tomorrow. Cool, new b-sides. Red Rubber....ha.
Video looked OK from that clip.

[hummingbird]

ordered mine.
