This Sullen Welsh Heart would go down well with the bearded hipster/Mumfords/arts and crafts crowd... not sure how I feel about that, but if the band would like another 'earner', that's the one.

Oh I agree about the Manics knocking singles on the head they should and about singles in general, I just wondered what it might be if as seems likely they did one.

If they do maybe they'll release AFALC as they are playing it as the first bit of new material after the first single on their tour, then sling out 30 Years of War as a final hurrah, if I was being cheeky?!

I like James's version of Sullen Welsh Heart that would make a good bside...

They absolutely shouldn't knock singles on the head because their b-sides are regularly better than their album tracks.

That's because it was never meant to be an "anthem"! James wrote the lyrics and called the song "Composition Rites". Wire vetoed it because he thought "it sounded too John Cale" and "people wouldn't know what a composition rite was". Silly Wire! (He mentions this in an interview, the quietus one, maybe?)

For the stupid among us (ie me), is there any special significance of the phrase "composition rites" beyond the rites one follows when composing something?

"composition rites" are the rites how to conduct a funeral. (I'm phrasing that shittily, sorry!)

Thanks for that, not a phrase I'd ever heard before the song.

I'm not sure whether it refers to specific religious rites, though. But definitely funeral rites.

That's why it's called that on my ipod! It's much more stark and bleak, Anthem... sounds pompous and pretentious in comparison.
