Random Manics thoughts...

[Strawberry]

A few minutes ago, I heard someone in Farscape say You love us. At least, I thought that was what was said. Then, a couple of minutes later, I realised that it was Lovers.

The amount of money I sacrifice for this band is mental. But oh so worth it.

Think I'll spend eternity in the city
Let the carbon and monoxide choke my thoughts away
And pretty bodies help dissolve the memories

Manics? Nope, Hall & Oates. Was listenting to this and thought it was so Richey-like!

[Geranium Terrorists]

Listening to Earth vs. The Wildhearts today and I realised how musically similar it is to GT. Some of the songs sound like what the Manics were originally aiming for with 'the Clash meets GNR'.

nme should put 4real photo on their cover for Richey's disappearance anniversary. WITH the transcript of "sleeping with the nme" inside

I made my Dad put my JFPL CD on in the car today.

He sat through the entire thing, but after Bag Lady finished he then pronounced 'It's shit. Not my cup of tea baby'.

He also added various snide comments about William's Last Words (Nicky's singing) and them singing about flower arranging (VSEC).

I've put it down to him not knowing real music if it hit him in the face

Someone should create a thread where everyone can list their ten favourite Manics songs.

Thank you.

I have no idea what has gone on in the past - and due to that post I think it's safe for me not to ask/go into it haha!

Indeed. Also it's good to see some new fan enthusiasm about the place

Woah. Just as I think I've seen every Manics picture under the sun, tumblr just throws up more for me to swoon over.
Might need to buy a memory stick specifically for Manics related stuff.

In other news, the more Sean pictures I see, the more I'm like - I feel like I should be in the appreciation threads but I'm scared because I cringe at fanfic, no matter how good it is...
