I would be willing to pay money for someone to kill the Manic Street Preachers.
No, really, I would.
Purely because they've refused to do the decent thing themselves and die, and are working on a new album that's going to be 'short, direct and really melodic', so back to the Radio 2 MOR fodder of This is My Pretense of Being a Working Class Lad from the Hills When In Fact I'm Actually Living in Cardiff With a Flat I Vacuum Everyday, Tell Me Yours then? But what really irritates me is that their b-sides album is going to be called Lipstick Traces, which is a brilliant book on Punk, Dada and Situationalism (here) and doesn't deserve to be sullied by the implied association.
