Zee, there is no 'Donkeys II' song - that stemmed from a debate in this thread.

These scream someone taking the piss - making up generic manics-y song titles. I am super cynical as a person in general, but I just don't think these titles fit. Will hold my hands up if I'm wrong, but it looks like a wishlist of titles from someone hoping for the sort of album they probably WON'T get.
The titles of 'Anti-Humanism' and 'Listen to Realism' would fit in with Nicky's aforementioned John Gray influence.

It's a JG Ballard quote from Cocaine Nights, chapter 16. Here it is in context:

Our governments are preparing for a future without work, and that includes the petty criminals. Leisure societies lie ahead of us, like those you see on this coast. People will still work – or, rather, some people will work, but only for a decade of their lives. They will retire in their late thirties, with fifty years of idleness in front of them.'
'A billion balconies facing the sun. Still, it means a final goodbye to wars and ideologies.'
'But how do you energize people, give them some sense of community? A world lying on its back is vulnerable to any cunning predator. Politics are a pastime for a professional caste and fail to excite the rest of us. Religious belief demands a vast effort of imaginative and emotional commitment, difficult to muster if you're still groggy from last night's sleeping pill. Only one thing is left which can rouse people, threaten them directly and force them to act together.'
'Crime?'
'Crime, and transgressive behaviour – by which I mean all activities that aren't necessarily illegal, but provoke us and tap our need for strong emotion, quicken the nervous system and jump the synapses deadened by leisure and inaction.'

Yeah, I just saw your edit. Tsk tsk, mucking around on Wiki Dex!

So who *says Hercule Poirot* did the other alteration?

Considering someone has amusingly put Donkeys II, I doubt pretty much all the other titles now, where did they come from?

Some of them are correct.

Listen To Realism I can believe out of the unconfirmed ones. Who put Cappucino Holocaust?


edit: The chappie/chapette who put that I was a cunt appears to not be v. popular on Wiki either
