Anyone else reckon that bits of the new Manics single sound like Zombie by the Cranberries? Not that I've ever listened to it or anything, oh no. Hands up who had a crush on Dolores or Rachel out of Slowdive when they were young, then? Not when Dolores and Rachel were young, obviously (unless you're Tag who's already admitted to being a pervert, although, despite the distinct resemblance on Dolores' part, neither are of equine persuasion). I personally swung between Sarah Cracknell, Margaret out of Moonshake/Laika and Laetitia out of Stereolab. Yum. B&S content - Listening to sinister last night for the first time since the boy with the arab strap hijacked my car radio, I remembered how absolutely classic those songs are. To think I actually didn't think it was that great for a while. Fox in the Snow made me melt (ho ho) to such an extent that is was unable to imagine how it could be bettered. I don't understand why it's so low on the voting list. Nor Chick Factor, which is just astonishing (apart from the "plane flying high/woman saying hi!" section - maybe Stuart should write the words, Stevie). Whatever, it's nice to discover that the second and third best songwriters in the world also come from the same band...
