The Best of cost me £19 which wasn’t too bad, i really didn’t think i’d win it because i could only afford to go to £20 for my maximum bid and the bootleg cost £3.20. I saw the 2CD best of on Amazon in the used section priced at £163 which is crazy. I also bought the live CD Geordie In Wonderland for 99p!!

I bought the japanese 2CD version of the Wildhearts best of and a bootleg called the Five Mile High Demos off Ebay earlier today.

Well i have off and on phases with the Manics the new album is decent enough i’m sure i’ll get round to buying it eventually.With the Manics there’s been to many half arsed albums rather than one bad one.

For anyone who’s interested you can ask the band a questionand if it’s printed in Q magazine you get £25.

I’ve not bought a Manics CD in years but i’ve what done Gav would describe as a cheeky download and i think The Vorticists is stunning.

Send Away The Tigers while lacking any real stand out Manics classic songs is an alright album.Much better than their few albums.I can’t stand Winterlovers though.

Has anyone hear Instrumental?Its a cover of an 80’s indie band called The June Brides,it’s a really good cover and much better than anything on the new album.

They’re alright when i first heard of them i thought they’d be shite because of Coalchamber.But i picked up the 1st album up in a sale and it’s surprisingly good.

Yndi Halda - Enjoy Eternal Bliss
Martin Grech - March Of The Lonely
Stellastarr - Harmonies For The Haunted
Smashing Pumpkins - Zeitgeist
Interpol - Our Love To Admire

I’m fine thanks, i’ve had computer problems and my evil managers at work have blocked the WOM.

I’m getting my new computer next week so i’ll be online a bit more often.

Believe it not i actually listened to Know Your Enemy a few days ago for the first time in what must be over a year.It wasn’t as bad as i remember and i actually enjoyed some of the songs still not as good as anything as the first five albums though.

I’ve heard live versions of I’m Just A Patsy and Autumn Song, they’re alright a lot better than Underdogs and Your Love Aone.

It’ll probably be another average Manics album with a couple of good songs and lots of average filler songs.

I’d really like if they’d return to form but i think it’s way too late now.

You can download Underdogs for free from the official site now.I’ve given it a few listens and i think they lyrics are awful which is a shame because the solo albums showed a bit of promise.

Has anyone heard the new single Your Love Alone,Is Not Enough? It’s very middle of the road and has Nina from the Cardigans singing on it but it does nothing for me.

I think the Foo’s suck more , i thought their first couple of albums were ok but everything they’ve done since has been very bland.

Now that would be good!

This week i’ve been listening to…

Oceansize - Efflorence
Oceansize - Everyone Into Position
Aereogramme - Sleep And Release
Aereogramme - A Story In White
Amplifier - Self Titled
Led Zeppelin - Self Titled
Beach Boys - Pet Sounds

A few more albums for my list.

Apparently it’s about falling asleep on your wrist… so yeah!

There’s lot of rumours that this could be the last album from them but if it is it’s a hell of away to go out.The other only track i’m not really fond of is Pink Cellphone but everything else is class!

The new album is brilliant, the title Saturday Night Wrist is a bit dodgy though.

I’ve only heard 4-5 songs off Sam’s Town and i’ve not been impressed.

I’ve not bought many new albums this year but these are the ones i’ve liked…

Mastodon - Blood Mountain
James Dean Bradfield - The Great Western
Thom Yorke - The Erazer
Ginger - Valor Del Corazon
Lacuna Coil - Karmacode
Therapy? - One Cure Fits All
Muse - Black Holes and Revelations
Scissor Sisters - Ta Dah!

Not strictly an album but the Silver EP by Jesu was one of my most played CD’s this year and it’s worth checking out.

There’s lots of album i’ve not got around to buying yet due to me wasting money on things like food, bills and driving lessons but hopefully i should pick up a few more 06 albums in the New Year sales.

For me the most disappointing album of 06 has been Tool 10.000 Days.

The best re-releases this year have been…

Manic Street Preachers - Everything Must Go 10TH Anniversary Edition
Mansun - Legacy The Best Of

I don’t mind it when a band puts a lot of effort into a re-release like the Manics have but it pisses me off when an album is re-released with one bonus track like Roadrunner used to do with their bands.

:cool:

What’s the DVD like…?

Very good it has all the promos and an audio interview with some other Mansun footage.

The last CD i bought i was Mansun - Legacy CD/DVD.

Well how were the gigs?

Not heard them of before,i’ve seen a couple of movies with Jada Pinkett but i didn’t think she was that good an actress.

Was Tool alone not enough impetus ?

I think currently Mastodon are the better band,i picked up Blood Mountain yesterday and i like it a lot.

Someone likes Black Holes For the Young?! I’m proud the Manix ‘discovered’ Sophie first but i really hate that song!

They didn’t really discover her because Theaudience around that time had a cult following and her mum used to be a Blue Peter presenter,i don’t mind the song it’s much better than some of the tracks that made the album.

Anyway back to JDB bought the new single and Days Slipping Away is a brilliant track should have been on the album.The other two original JDB songs are rather annoyingly vinyl only so i haven’t heard them,hopefully i can get them online.

The link worked for me, i was able to vote for them.

Iron Maiden - Best Of The Beast
Therapy? - One Cure Fits All
Pelican - Australasia

I’m shocked he’s knocked out another solo album so quickly.

I’ve been listening to lots of Jeff Buckley and Nirvana recently with a bit of OCFA thrown in.
