Your joys are counterfeit, this happiness: corrupt political shit
I found a hole in the space-time continuum last night, and it took me back to 1999, being an intense little Ally Sheedy type goth girl at the back of the class scribbling quotes onto my school books, writing shite poetry in endless notebooks and making up chords on my guitar because I didn't actually know any! Last night was a proper nostalgia trip - my face aches from grinning uncontrollably for two hours straight and my voice is a bit husky from all the singing.
Yes, ladies and gentleman, James has lost weight, they're not playing a single tune from Lifeblood on the tour, and they've rediscovered their distortion pedals! The Manic Street Preachers are back on form!
Just look at the fucking setlist!

I was pretty gutted when they walked off stage, but Madi called me today to tell me she'd found cheap(ish) tickets on Ebay for the Brighton gig next Wednesday, so we snapped them up. My advice to anyone who was a fan and kinda gave up on them (like me and Madi did!), go buy Send Away The Tigers. You will not be disappointed!
And in case you thought I was going to go throug a whole blog without posting any narcissistic photos, then you clearly don't know me at all!
My old skool stencilled top. I made Madi one which said 'Culture of Destruction', and I have no idea why I didn't take a photo of it! Sorry hun! There are disposable cam pics to come so you shall all witness it's glory when they have been developed and scanned and whatnot!
I added some blue and did my roots! Twas a full day! :p
My Manics outfit. Because dressing like a slapper is fun.
