AND a new album in the pipeline. Here we go again!!!

Is this a new thing they're doing, recording new songs so that they're b-sides.

Good for them for recording new songs. Puts a lot of other bands to shame.

I'd like them to take a break for a year and then come back fresh.

With the Manics you do feel that you never get much of a chance to have a break as a fan cos they are always planning the next thing! Don't think they could do a five year sabbatical like some bands. They would go crazy!

No, they've been doing that pretty much their whole career.

Aye, but like a PROPERLY filmed performance video, rather than just Patrick Jones dicking about at rehearsals. Something like the Tsunami video, simple but effective.

Couldn't agree more, I think they just don't like doing it.

Yeah, their studio is hardly so brilliant that it functions as a soundstage as well!

I'd love to see like an animated Manics official music video, some kind of cartoony thing. It'd be new and different. Good news about the b-sides being new. I thought they'd keep any news songs for the next album whenever that will be.

Interesting... Maybe they should just rip off the Housemartins' Happy Hour video.
