It’s all kicking off on the Tour forum, oh and we’ve mostly been listening to the album for 2 weeks

Sequels to Forgotten Wars could be a JFPL album track or B-side (perhaps with the noise turned up a bit)

I didn't realise James had had a second child 2 years ago... but he seems to have made a lot of reference to it recently.

I didn't realise he had children at all untill looking at an old article from the PFAYM era. Though he's extremely casual interviews, I always forget how little James divulges about his private life.

I swear, Bradfield deserves some sort of award for "Outstanding Achievement In Making Wordy Lyrics Fit Into Singable Melodies Somehow". I tip my hat to him. Between Edwards and Wire, I don't know how he pulls it off sometimes.

I want to see the Manics' biography turned into an animated series (in a semi-realistic anime style), with the band voice acting themselves, new Manics' songs for the opening and ending songs, while the soundtrack should be all the Manics' influences (besides the band's existing songs, of course).

TIMTTMY is my go-to summer evening album.

Although I do have a slight hatred of them (in spite of me owning two) I'd definitely buy the lot here.

A lot of them don't look like the characters they're supposed to be I don't think, but some are great. Of the music related ones Slash is probably my favourite ... The Kurt Cobain one reminds me of Noel Edmunds !

I'd prefer realistic action figures.
But I wouldn't complain about Funko Pops as well.

With all the Japan references and special releases, I think it would be great to hear the Manics make a bilingual duet with a Japanese singer.

I suggest Susumu Hirasawa and Yoko Kanno.
Especially Yoko Kanno.

People Give In indirectly reminds me of Stephen Hawking

Tomorrow will be my first time seeing em this tour and I’m yet to come into close proximity of anyone who has seen em this tour, so how is it I’m starting to feel Tour Plague setting in?

Can anyone remember the make a Manics song title be about fruit thread (e.g. From des-pear to where) and where it is? I've searched, but with no success. I want to add International Blueberry and Hold Me Like a Lemon. Thanks!
