I really can't hear the Duchess/Tolerate thing at all, but,
and maybe I'm insane, everytime Lily Allen's new single '22' comes on the radio I can't help but hear 'My Guernica'. Is it just me?

The chorus has a couple of similar chords to Tolerate but that's it. And considering there are only so many chords in the world, most songs could be accused of ripping off other songs.

Exactly! And how many vocals sound a bit similar to others! No wonder lawyers have a field day!

"And it sounds like an empty house /Standing still /And it's quieter than a mouse /Standing still" = "And on the street tonight an old man plays..."

And the outtro is, erm, similar!

Still, who cares??

Yeah I can see the similarity actually. It's hardly what the Enemy did with London Calling or Common People though.

The 'ah- ah's' are a tiny bit similar to me. And James' are far better anyway!

Which'd be roughly equivelent of Manics suing me for ripping off the chorus of Motorcycle Emptiness, which'd probably be fair game.

But it's a vocalisation! I still say the actual music doesn't bare any similarities. But that's just me!

But the Stranglers love the Manics - well Hugh Cornwell saw them at Bath Moles.....

"Former Stranglers front man makes Moles debut

Hugh Cornwell, the locally-based former lead singer of The Stranglers, returns to Bath on Wednesday for a surprise second major show in the city this year.

The Box singer/songwriter, who played an extremely well-received concert at Komedia in March, will be making his first ever appearance at Moles as part of a warm-up for an important national tour, on Wednesday.

But, although it will be Hugh’s debut live show at Bath’s most famous venue, he is certainly no stranger to its underground delights.

“I’ve never played Moles before”, said Hugh. “I used to go there a lot in the past and thinking about it, I must have spent an awful lot of drinking money there.

“It was always a good place for seeing bands and I can remember seeing The Manic Street Preachers there before they broke. "
