That was a brilliant 90's Radio6 mix.

It's possible RIchey knew what he would be in years to come and felt uneasy with it, regardless that he's made a true difference to art and music.He looks naturally cool in that interview💓I love their conversation outside, though i love the interviews and Richey's insightful words and thoughts. In interviews Richey seems to be the only one who's talked about what he'd do if he wasn't in a band.

You've probably seen this interview, https://youtu.be/8s0ny0D8DhQ?si=V_ngg4Sy4AkB7EMF. At around the four minute mark Richey says ' I want someone to love me". Insightful and prophetic. It's just so refreshing Richey being himself in interviews. Now interviews are carefully rehearsed beforehand. Questions submitted. Answers prepared. No authenticity at all. Even after all this time it's just so refreshing to here him speak.

A tiny 4 star review in Mojo. Nothing much to add other than th saying it is 'songs-first'' and 'their least contrary'. More worryingly they call Decline & Fall 'one of their strongest tune since 1996'. Every other album reviewed on that page also gets a 4 star review so I think it's safe to say this one has been phoned in.

See, I was expecting some new artist or band to get the front page. Well done Eddie. And did his album get four out of five as well? I noticed this a few years ago and might have mentioned it here. Even Allen Poe couldn't write of the sheer dread at seeing that four star review. I think it was in lockdown I began to flip out about it.

Manic Street Preachers - Critical Questions Part 2 (Official Mailing List)
James Dean Bradfield Do you plan to make an exhibition of all the memorabilia from your attic in the future? (For James specifically) - Joanna James: My father’s attic was an experience. Indeed it was. Of stuff relevant to my life I found: 1. My o level art pieces which included portraits of Green Gartside and Simple Minds, a drawing of Cardiff docks with “on the waterfront” lyrics handwritten over the picture 2. A vintage carrier bag from “Martin Luther Records” shop from blackwoood High st circa 1983( was ecstatic about this find ) 3. A pair of Holy Bible era docs 4. Original Sean Moore tambourine used on early MSP demos( MIGHT of been accidentally donated by Oakdale comprehensive school music department ) 5. My mums old typewriter 6. My “Pinky and Perky have a party” album, stuff like that. I don’t think I’ll be booking out museum space anytime soon! Hello! With your wonderful career spanning several decades, I was wondering how you’ve had to adapt to different recording techniques / technologies / environments and whether you prefer recording these days or back in the 90s? - Jon James: Pro Tools is the biggest factor in changing the way we record compared to the early nineties. When we recorded to tape there were limitations unless you were prepared to delete stuff, so you had to commit to an idea/performance. Pro tools changed that by giving us the opportunity to endlessly noodle away into what you think is perfection, the reality is that you can lose the looser wilder side of your band, everything becomes so tight and realised that it can become a little bit sterile? It’s something we try to avoid but the endless choice that Pro Tools gives you can be an enemy of your band’s natural energy What are some books you would recommend that you are currently reading? - Adam James: I’m experimenting with reading a book in French at the moment in tandem with trying to learn French, translating as I go along and seeing if it helps with the process, a book I had read reviews of called “son odeur après la plue ” (His smell after the rain) by cédric sapin defour is not published in English yet so there you go, very calming. “Wild Twin” by Jeff Young, “Anna and the angel” by Eleanor Williams, “Everything must Go” by Dorian Lewinsky Nicky Wire What led to Nicky singing on Hiding In Plain Sight and will there be more songs on Critical Thinking with Nicky’s vocals? - Andy Nicky: I wanted James to sing ‘ Hiding in Plain Sight’ and he tried it in the studio but he just thought my voice suited it better . I wrote the whole song in an hour and the vocal came very naturally. If this album had a flavour, what would it taste like? - Lily Rose Nicky: Salted Caramel - a mixture of Sweetness and Sourness. You often look to the past - Dylan Thomas, Dinosaur Jr, Marilyn Monroe: who are the up-and-coming musicians, writers and film stars that inspire you? - Kevin Nicky: Bill Ryder - Jones , Wolf Hall , the Movie Tar and The Motive and Cue play.
