I'm thinking maybe this is to get something out there before releasing the single proper (Show Me The Wonder) in September, with full promo and such?

Maybe this is just a taster download in the build up to the album's release. They (rather infamously) gave us the Underdogs download before SATT was released, but still had physical single releases with b-sides later on.

Just went to Richard Hawley's forum to see if they were talking about it or had any info, but they don't seem very excited or concerned about this. *fail*

Yeah that was free, but maybe they/Sony have tightened the purse strings in these austere times...or they don't want a repeat of the Underdogs debacle 89p for a song isn't exactly breaking the bank anyway and I would imagine it'll be on the album seen as it's the title track.

I don't imagine excitement is their thing.

Maybe they are just releasing this one to play it with Richard H on the festivals this Summer.

That's a boring reason. I like the- manics fans on the naughty step-reason.

my favorite quote was this guy saying: 'Great news. The manics were the most important thing in the world to me when I was a teenager'

You can feel the excitement in every word.
And teenager??!?

I retract my fear, they don't have the vim for fan war.

Given how pissed off Sean got about fans moaning about a free download, there could be some partial truth to that suggestion actually If fans don't like it this time, they've only got themselves to blame for paying for the track in the first place
