Manics moments that make your cringe

[Bambi]

To be honest, thread title typos make me cringe more than the Manics do.

Except for Underdogs, obvs. Think I once described that as 'Brett Anderson trying to write Trash while still at primary school'.

The main thing for me is the b-sides of that era on one disc. That will probably get the most plays. Plus it's got Umbrella on it! Very happy days!

I can't believe we've gone four pages without a mention of Naysmyth's circus keyboard patch being used to murder half of the band's live set.

I love the way he constantly refers to the politics degree. And now doesn't write lyrics about politics.

[EDIT] Not very often, anyway.

Haha, Jesus, you mean like this beast of a performance? Whenever I need a laugh I hunt this video down, always makes me laugh and feel like I'm at the circus. Brilliant.

Nicky mentioned his politics degree in the latest hotpress interview.

The worst thing about is that it coincided with James fading back with guitar starting with the EMG tour where solos seemed to be banned until the Lifeblood tour for some reason.

An image strikingly reminiscent of the chorus of Catatonia's lovely song International Velvet - but with the opposite sentiment!
