There's much worse IMO - I probably meant to say that I can 'stand it' though. It's not good. But I can stand it.

I think Black Holes For the Young is one of their best B-sides and should have been on the album. So nurr.

I would have made a thread about it, and sorry to interrupt the current discussion but:
How would you feel if the band bought out an album but didn't tour it?
"Lipstick Traces" was the last thing I can think of, and even then didn't they do a couple of HMV related appearances?

And "Montana/Autumn '78" and "Buildings For Dead People" are my favourite b-sides from that era.

I wouldn't mind to be honest. But if it was an amazing album I could feel...I don't think I'd be very happy. You can't win really.

& yeah they did some HMV things for LT - I watched footage of one a few weeks ago.

Should I just go with a leopard print skater dress kinda thing with tights for May/June HB tour?

I'm buying soon and that's what I'm thinking. Keeping it Manics, does that sound okay guys?

Does there exist a picture of the Lifeblood cover without the text on it? I would really like to use it for something but "Manic Street Preachers Lifeblood" is in the way.

I don't see why they hate Lifeblood so much! After all, the esteemed publication Nuts gave it 5 stars!

Sounds ace! Anything vaguely Manicsy is fine, you don't have to go combat gear.
You can blame the woman in the sailor-style dress, unless I just wear a shirt from the last tour. You see, I am totally entitled to give fashion advice.

(a t-shirt and jeans! "just a t-shirt" might be misleading, on second thoughts...)

Thank you!! Combat gear isn't my thing so leopard print dress it is.

I've got a khaki, moderately military-style shirt dress in mind for the Castle gig. Subject to change though!
