A DESIGN FOR WIFE!


BANGKOK - Officials here have issued a sensational ARREST WARRANT for controversial, possibly Welsh rock star NICKY WIRE of THE MANIC STREET PREACHERS after it was revealed he was the name behind an ILLICIT MAIL ORDER BRIDE SCAM.

In a well co-ordinated sting scam, the dubious buy-a-bride web page www.moorebrides.com was traced back to an owner called "Sean, no put Richie Ed..hang on make it WIRE, NICKY as the owner". extensive investigations were held until a chance stop off at a dodgy bootleg tape seller in a market revealed to the investigating authorities that NICKY WIRE was not only an INTERNATIONAL POP STAR but was also WIRE, NICKY backwards. This compelling evidence was too much for even the police to turn a blind eye to.

Wire, who has previously DENIED THE INTERNETS EXIST, is believed to have run the scam from his mobile phone, as and when he was not TWEETING on the INTERNETS. Showing the level of deciet that he has gone to, he had somehow REWIRED THE INTERNETS so that it made it appear all of his dubious dealings were coming from another address. The most shocking part is that he used the address of FELLOW BANDMATE SEAN MOORE!

Moore, who kindly took a break from reconcilling a number of credit card numbers and dealing with a nasty legal matter involving a "fat bloke from Rhyl" and something called a "ladyboy sent in error", was appalled when we broke the news to him. He was so shocked to learn that his colleage had BEEN CONNING PEOPLE and had BETRAYED him that he fell silent, the only sign of his distress being a smile and apparently rubbing some lucky gold coins.

The head of INTERPOL, a gent who did not want to be identified but had documents from MOOREBRIDES and a sleek, slender lady being offered from the site in his presence, dismissed the matter as BULLSHIT and said that there was no need for further investigation on the basis of what he had been presented. He appeared to WINK in the direction of the lady as he said this, presumably ASSURING her that she was now safe.

It is highly likely that WIRE will be arrested if he ever tries to enter Bangkok again.

Welsh Rocker Rushed to Hospital

Manic Street Preachers bass player and protagonist Nicky Wire has been rushed to hospital after a series of strange incidents whilst he is currently taking two years off from touring and releasing material with the band.

The first indicator that there was something was wrong, according to a source close to the band, was when Nicky complained of pain and discomfort in his hands. Later the same day he again complained of terrible pain at the base of his neck and problems with his vision.

According to reports he was unwell for another two days and yet despite this continued with his regular communication to fans via Twitter.

However he was rushed to hospital late last night suffering from a severe lack of movement in his fingers, hands, and shoulders accompanied with increased pain and discomfort.

Mr Jones's consultant, Mr F Aster, said that at this time they are still unclear of the main cause of Mr Jones's problems but are investigating whether increased use of a computer and keyboard have contributed towards the problems whilst Mr Jones has been working on his second book, an autobiography of the band.

Members of the band and the Jones family were unavailable for comment.

WELSH ROCKERS RECORD SIXTY NINE AND A HALF SONGS AND SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUST IN OWN STUDIO

MANIC STREET PREACHERS, who were currently shacked up in their Cardiff studio with an ambitious plan to record 70 songs for a brand new album have tragically died in a massive fireball that engulfed the studio and engineer, Dave Eringa, after the band spontaneously combusted two minutes from finishing the album. The album, rumoured to be titled, "70 songs of Hatred & Failure", had been rumoured by the late Nicky Wire to be " Our last shot at alienating the masses through a fusion of sci-fi Jazz electro avant garde wonder funk". . A source inside the studio could not believe his eyes when lead singer, James Dean Bradfield, worked his way through the final song " Funky Monk singing the line " We're Gonna Believe In You/You're gonna believe in Us, We'll fight these flames until our are souls are dust". The source said It was unbelievable, totally ironic but incredibly sad. The last thing James said to me was that he wanted his bacon extra smokey...it's just so ironic. The band had been in the studio for the last two years, having left their loved ones and the internet to their own devices, while they came up with the album. No tracks have been heard from the opus due to the bands strict policy on lead lined walls, no windows, no access to the outside world but toilets which they only had access too. James Bradfield also insisted that a greggs was built within the studio. Several song titles from the album slipped through the studio though such as:

Fallacy Of The Masses
Hold On For Hope
In The Feild Where I chased my tail
Safety Pin EyeLiner Linda
Punk'd Up
Two Chord Song
No Words Can Be Written
Love Is Was and Always
Interracial Blues
School Of Wisdom
Journey Of The Plagued
Holiday Inn Sin
Advert Child

A spokesman for the band said Everyone told them they were crazy for doing this album and that they should have stuck to 10-12 tracks of cock rock but they weren't having any of it. They wanted to prove once again that they mattered. It's a shame really but what I had heard of the music from being in the studio with them was a band at it's peak, on fire.....sorry can we delete that? that was a really bad pun

NICKY WIRE: I've written a new solo album and it's a mess of ideas..

Nicky Wire of MANIC STREET PEACHERS has recorded a follow-up to his first solo effort I killed The Zeitgeist. The album Bacteria Hysteria/Domestic Asthetic was written and recorded in his very own attic conversion in Newport, Gwent.

It was purely down to boredom that I decided to write and record a new album. James and Sean were anxious to get me back into the studio to record the new manics album but I am still fucked off with James for getting a triple word score in Scrabble and beating me! We were playing the game for nearly 24 hours straight. It was a pure fluke from James as all the words he was coming up with were all related to fucking pastry and baked goods. Fuck knows how he come up with Methoxyflurane. I accused Sean of helping him also so he's not talking to me. There are definately some levels of tension and angst at the moment but it's been beautiful for me as I have used that anger to write some new songs. Musically, the album is a mixture of krautrock, ska and 60's west coast soul but built around the backdrop of an idylic life in Newport where I relish in the boredom and chaos..

The tracklisting for the album is as follows:

Slavery Of Rural Decadence
Listen and You Will Hear My Voice
Romance In Teknicolour
I'm Beautiful
Triple Word Whore
2 mins 2 late 4 the Future
Grizzly Old Queen
Mr Muscle Vs The Dyson Society Of Vacuum Free Dreams
Virile To The Touch
Lost In The Settee

Bacteria Hysteria/Domestic Asthetic will be released on June 1st.

LOUIE WALSH DEFENDS JEDWARD MANICS COVER

X-Factor judge and pop mogul has defended Jedward's cover of the Manic Street Preachers hit, Faster claiming that the song is a "true resemblance to the original and we've changed the lyrics because we didn't want to alienate an audience The song, renamed "Faster..er has caused mass fury and anger within the Manics fanbase with some fans declaring that "This is the absolute final straw now. The camels back is well and truly broken. The manics have sold out completely by allowing this to happen!. The cover-version has also reworked the lyrics of the original completely removing the original sentiment of the classic rock song.

The new version opens up with a spoken word vocal performed by U2's Bono which as been changed from I hate purity, I hate goodness I don't want virtue to exist anyway I want everyone corrupt to I hate poverty, I hate greed, I want Africa to exist everyday I want everyone's donations...

Nicky Wire stated that the cover version wasn't their idea and the band want the fans to know that it wasn't there idea. Wire recently however tweeted

Just heard Faster by Jedward. Music to Hoover too XxX

Jedward's John stated that "The Manics are just soooo coool and the song just spoke to us and we got it, we had to do it, it was just so freaking coooool"

An insider from the Manics management stated It's good exposure for the band no doubt. No other artist has really covered the Manics so it was a real treat that Jedward wanted to reimagine one of their greatest songs
