I'm sure I remember seeing a clip of the music video, although I may be imagining that.

I don't remember seeing much about it. Could've been distracted by that lot in the corner though.

The only mentions of Lifeblood where Nicky saying 'Lifeblood didn't connecy with anybody'. There was a live partial video recordring of 1985. The majority of the footage looked to be from 2005, so surprised there was no mention of Nixon.

Yeah Lifeblood was a quick bit of Nicky stood on the roof of a building looking into the sunset going "It was a shit album really... everyone hated it" before the SATT extravaganza.

They also discuss "possibly using Richey's lyrics" then there is some added-on footage of JFPL stuff and screenshots of website news articles about the album (that bit could do with a tidy).

They're right not to go into PFAYM. "And they released another album and that was that"

Didn't Nicky describe Lifeblood (or Nixon, not quite sure) as an "electro-pop nightmare"?

James said that Nixon is the sound of a band being 'as perverse as it can possibly be', and as mentioned, that he doesn't know why they tried to humanise the man. I'm pretty sure as well that James was saying that around about 2007, so barely 3 years after they recorded it.
