OI! You Glastos.

I caught some on TV last night. A couple of small queries:

 

a). There was a band called The Seed singing 'The Roots' or it might have been The Roots singing The Seed.

What genre is that?

 

. There was a band called The Doves performing 'The Probing' and 'The last Broadcast' What genre is that?

 

c). What is the current view of The Manics? Sold out to the mainstream?

 

The singer can sing.

 

d). There were three people in the studio. A well proproprtioned chap with a tache and goatee and a Geordie lass. Names please? Which one was Edith?

AFF, did you fall asleep before the credits?

I love that song!Not sure what genre it is though!

[mdetaylor]

Not sure the Manics have sold out, more just become man at C&A and a little bit middle aged (although new material is apparently closer to thier earlier material).

 

I think you will find that Mr Bradfield can sing.

[Stu B]

If you saw him sing live on BBC3 with just himself and a guitar I can assure you he can sing!

.. + they did a cover of Camper Van Beethoven's 'Take The Skinheads Bowling' - sounded odd without the violins. Interesting.

Hi White Knight.

 

Which one did?

[Chubbhead EFM]

(d)The fat bloke was Phil Jupitus, the Geordie Lass was Lauren Laverne, she of 'Kenicke' fame and there was some other woman called Alison something (I think).

 

As for The Roots, they were playing the dance tent, so I guess they'd be classed as dance music!

[mdetaylor]

They did - and there was a cover of Velocity Girl on the same single

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

Hmmmm - Indie/Rock

 

The Manics are pants!

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Never liked the Manics really. Bought Generation Terrorists - very disappointing.
