She did not like me one bit. And someone called me old and bitter on that thread! I think she was...23?

 

[тхеодоре кацзынски]

presumably she saw through your jaffa ways,more power to her i say.
come back @deirdre 23

facks sake,how do you @ someone?

 

[jonah]

She won't come back. She got what she wanted from us.
I'm getting to like the word jaffa. I only wish I could live up to it. (Cake/Biscuit?)

 

[St. Fechin]

I know this will ruin my rep as a hardened thumped'r but MSP were my first ever gig when I was 14 and all I can remember was crying my eyes out (sobbing) as they played 'Roses in the Hospital'. It was the single most embarrassing moment of my entire life.

I FIND YOU (aged 14) AN ABSOLUTE IDIOT.

 

[тхеодоре кацзынски]

the real jaffas surely? (i hope that's not racist)

I FIND YOU (aged 14) AN ABSOLUTE IDIOT.

That makes two of us, brother. Aged 14, I was, in fact, an absolute idiot. And very easily moved.

Well they are certainly neither cake nor biscuit!

Listening to you trying desperately to get your rat bastard husband to validate your 14-year-old self is only funny for about two pages then it just becomes sad.



Am I doing this right?

 

[jonah]

oh.


hahahahahahah. The fun is in posting the frankie video.

 

[Lili Marlene]

Ah now, that's a decent setlist.

My Little Empire, Roses, Stephen Hawking, This is Yesterday, Suicide is Painless... (and of course, Slash n Burn) are great choices.

they're only playing that one because they know it's awful and they're trying to wind people up

Fuck off Tsunami though.

agreed.

I hope they play all their bad songs!!!

I think Gold Against the Soul is possibly their greatest song.

 

[ilovehoovering]

I don't think I've ever heard them play My Little Empire. Thank fuck. Suicide is Painless was great the first time I heard it but it was really shit on the last tour. Hope they bring back Prologue to History and Archives of Pain. And maybe Intravenous Agnostic. Seriously.

 

[Lili Marlene]

I actually wouldn't mind hearing some stuff off Lifeblood which I have grown to think is actually quite good.

 

[SomethingManic]

Lifeblood is rather underrated indeed. They played Empty Souls on that British tour recently, which isn't good though.

1985 would be very welcome.

 

[SomethingManic]

TODAY!

YAAAY!

 

[Moods For Mallards]

I've stopped being nostaligiac about the Manics for the time being. I'll probably go to their tour in 2025.

 

[evil bandit]

Any idea on stage times or support???

As I mentioned in the Warpaint thread getting stage times for this (and most other MCD / Aiken gigs) is proving quite fruitless....

 

[SomethingManic]

Joy Formidable are supporting, they're pretty great.

No idea about stage times, probably 9 or a wee bit after.

 

[SomethingManic]

Actually, based on their two gigs so far this tour, 9:15 looks to be the time.

 

[taubstumm]

Curfew in the Olympia is generally 11, so if you works backwards from there ...
