Anyone heard the new Manics album?

[SoGone]

What's your take on it? I stopped exploring their catalogue with Know Your Enemy...are any of the later albums worth looking into?

[mark]

hmmm.... well... heard their latest and their last were both pretty good... but well... I stopped after 'Lifeblood'... I dunno, they are supposed to have got back on track these last couple but who knows???!!!...

[sunshine]

they were in Laters with Jools... was weird to see them there

[mark]

when were they on ? i missed them??? why was it weird that they were on jools?, they are on there whenever they release a new album!!!

[sunshine]

last week, i think.

it has been a while, he's aged a lot

[mark]

which one??? jools, JDB, nicky, or sean??? Or all 4 of them lol???!!! I virtually never watch jools anymore, generally speaking I just don't have an interest in the bands on there these days....

[sunshine]

all of them! apart from Jools who seems to sleep in mummifying liquid

(I have no idea who Jools is, but that made me laugh anyway)

wow sun he has never heard of Jools Holland!!!! Wow I mean even not including his hugely popular and successful solo career with Big Band and Rythmn and Blues Orchestara there is his LENGENDARY music programme which has been running for 17 years now...!!! And have you never heard of The Tube or the band Squeeze???!!!!

Wow, not only is it the youth of today where there's problems, but also maybe it's americans too... hehehe!! joke andy pandy!!!

[sunshine]

hihi... he probably doesn't even know where Europe or England are!

[SoGone]

Well, I used to have Squeeze's Greatest Hits...

(And I like the song Glen sings with Elvis Costello on "Trust," but that's probably more because I'm an early EC disciple!)


England...is that the place where everyone gets pathetically drunk and obsessed over soccer/football matches?

(J/K, I'm from a town which houses the American equivalent of that.)

hahahahahahaha!! I was just about to say that if you're anything like most americans I have ever met you'll think that GB/UK are the same things as England lol!!!... But from that statement of yours you know us all too well - and the strange thing is I am one of the guys who gets pathetically drunk at the weekends and is obsessed about football!!! But you know sometimes the drunk, idiot guys who are like cavemen with shit for brains who are just plain annoying on a saturday night just irritate me that little too much!!! Maybe that's why I am attracted to guys from foreign climes???!!!

Oh and my american geography and knowledge of popular US tv shows is pretty crappy so I guess I shouldn't tease you over Jools...!!

[SoGone]

Believe me, I know as little about American TV as I do about the programming you have across the pond!

Nah, come to Pittsburgh in the fall/winter...you won't find much improvement!
