From Despair to Where from Raw Soup 1993.

Manic Street Preachers performing 'From Despair To Where' from Raw Soup 1993!  It was broadcast late one night on ITV recently.

At one point the audience looks like it's going to pogo into the band.

Manic Street Preaching - My New @Manics Blog

So tumblr couldn't handle this hotness...well, this is my new blog: manicstreetpreaching.blogspot.co.uk

All the same stuff as I used to do on tumblr, except not on tumblr.

I really thought long and hard about whether I wanted to do another blog, it's far easier not to bother as it does take time, but I missed it.

I have felt the loss of my tumblr, it wasn't just the 3000 posts, it was also the community that was there. I met such a lot of people via that blog and maybe they won't be able to find this new one. I'm not sure this one will be quite as conducive to that sense of community and feeling that you are amongst people who think the same you. However, this blog does cross post to my Google Plus page, so feel free to follow me there (*laughs because no bastard uses Google plus*). I'll also still be on Twitter @FYMSP (aka Fuck Yeah Manic Street Preaching).

Oh, and yeah Sony, please don't sue me cos the blog name is like Manic Street Preachers. Kthanxbai.

Great interview with James on Ultimate Guitar.

Swansong - The Holy Bible

Stuart Maconie presents the story of The Holy Bible - the last album to feature full contributions from Richey James Edwards. Richey is credited with design and guitar for the album. In reality he gave no musical contribution to the record yet wrote 75% of the lyrics and fashioned the record's core subject material - namely a thesis on prostitution, capital punishment, American globalization and the Holocaust.

The album 'The Holy Bible' was released on 30 August 1994. Richey disappeared from the Embassy Hotel, Bayswater, London, at approximately 7am on 1 February 1995 and was never seen again. He was officially pronounced 'presumed dead' on 23 November 2008.

Swansong features new contributions from Manic Street Preachers - James Dean Bradfield and Nicky Wire, plus Manic's biographer Simon Price, and Keith Cameron - contributing Editor of Mojo magazine.
