Iā€™m glad you brought that up. I was about to go rip into him. Sure I only posted it a while back. Stupid fucking bollix

6204

Ye fucking bolloxes, it was only posted once before and that was 18 months ago,
Itā€™s not that great anyway but Wendy James was a teenage wet dream for me.

Iā€™ll have to redeem myself so

Great album. US version even topped the original.

6209

Didnā€™t realise there was one, that anorexia song I posted is outstanding, the last track on the album (PCP) is another stand out.
Iā€™m not a huge manics fan, love Motorcycle Emptiness obviously but the Holy Bible was their best by a mile for me, when it came out it was exactly what I was in to

Worth checking out the US version. Label thought it was too raw for US market, so they got Tom Lord-Alge to re-mix the album. Band thought theyā€™d hate it. Turned out he made a perfect 10/10 album better. 11/10, if youā€™d believe that.

Few Cork lads on here, few more blow ins. Hereā€™s one of my favourite songs from the pride of Bishopstown, this one isnā€™t very well known, itā€™s about an amicable breakup, listen to the lyrics, theyā€™re fantastic

Couldnā€™t find a good online version so this is live
