Interesting one this. It'll definitely improve sales, but then im just cynical. It's clearly not for selfless reasons, as they can donate to charity anytime. Plus now I have to defend another of their strange decisions to everyone else. I really don't care at the moment

I don't think it's a strange decision at all. But that's just me!

Really dont understand how anyone can find a problem with them donating money ti charity! Regardless of how its done.
Agree its a shame that ATOS are involved with the paralympics, but that is well out of the remit of the Manics

I actually saw the advert whilst watching Emmerdale this evening and even though I'd read about it on here, I still had a bit of an "Oooh Manics on my TV!" moment. Bit odd to see the Manics, Sainsbury's and David Beckham all collide in the same 30 seconds but there we are

It lives!

Tracks 1+2 on cian ciaran's(SFA) new album are stunning-pure plastic ono band/denis wilson magic-truly beautiful xx

Keith cameron in the studio last week for big mojo(magazine) piece(GTreissue) always a pleasure to talk to him over the last 20yrs xx

Still get a big thrill out ofMSP being on the cover the NME after all these years xx

GT reissue nearly all done now-just final checks-shame there is no other version of condemned to rnr-total studio creation- never played ...

Never played live--making of dvd should be good-thanks to all who took part-maybe a screening in swales?x
