A quick gander at Amazon Canada's Brit music section shows a resurgence of Postcards - #6 on that list. A couple of other albums are also on the list.

Was listening to Fear of Music by Talking Heads earlier and just realised "Heaven" has the chorus "Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens."

Never knew Nicky was a Talking Heads fan!

Spring is the only seasons which doesn't get an explicit mention in the album Send Away the Tigers.

Strangely I find it to be a very Spring album.

Too bad, it could have been a 4-seaons album.
Oh, wait! It reminds me of Keroro this way! The names of each member of the Hinata family in Keroro Gunsou are Natsumi (summer), Fuyuki (winter) and Aki (autumn). And no spring.

They did. the work in progress edit of No Manifesto featured a clip of James playing it. Shame it wasn't in the final edit.

How fucking mental would it be if the manics went more showbiz and ended everyone of their gigs from next year with the last chorus of every song they've played in the set?
Just played the once. And one after each other, with no regards to specialised tunings etc?
