"I hope they'll play Ocean Spray in Cardiff"
Well, those were not my words.
I'm taking a friend to the Cardiff gig in May, and she's newly introduced to the Manics. She heard most of the songs, and yesterday she said Ocean Spray is her favourite. She also loves Autumnsong and Everything Must Go.It made me think about all our comments on their setlists the last few months. We, the freaks, keep criticising their setlists, but it seems there ARE people waiting for these songs. Well then, Manics: play those songs- you dσ make people happy with Ocean Spray and Everything Must Go. I'll take these songs, I will enjoy them live, but secretly I hope for a little bit more variation in your setlists. After all: I'm happy I can still see my favourite band, after more than 14 years. Cheers James, Sean, Nicky!

I have a fondness for Ocean Spray, I like the melancholia of the music, but it always sounds like an awkward bastard in their set. Autumnsong, however, is the opposite and is a moment of pure joyful cheese. Everything Must Go should be dropped in favour of bringing back Australia.

Just think how enormous those songs sounded when they came out. To a new fan, those feelings don't go away.

My wife loves Autumnsong and Ocean Spray, especially when they performed the latter in Birmingham a few months back..... shame really.

I gave up changing people's minds, opinions and tastes some time ago - now I just try to adjust and survive this mad world.

Indeed! I still remember how GREAT it was to hear La Tristesse Durera. It was one of my favourites. I guess I listened to the song too much ...
