4st 7lb unpluged. Interesting.
Eheh, there's a point where the vocalist loses his breath.

Anyway, cute overall.

Is this why the Manics have just covered Wake Up Boo?

I think someone who doesn't like Show Me The Wonder may have had a sarcastic moment! (Or you have just trapped me with your meta-irony)

No, I take things/jokes quite literally, so taking the piss out of me (esp in person) is a pure joy.
and I really hoped they did a cover.

I thoroughly believe that! James has a Rammstein one, for when the baby is quiet!

To be fair, I took it seriously too. I was sitting here going 'how did I miss that...?'

I'm really gullible and I also don't get sarcasm very easily, I believe everything!

their version's pretty good as cover versions go. If you only know wake up boo then you wonder why on earth they'd pick 4st 7lbs to cover. hearing giant steps it makes a bit more sense

It's a shame the Boo Radleys are mainly remembered for Wake Up Boo! as there are some great songs of that album, Wake Up, and the albums C'mon Kids and Giant Steps are amazing. There's at least one interview from EMG-era where Nicky bangs on about how great the Boo Radleys are.
