Manic Wednesday
Simon Mayo
Presenter
Sniffing again here, dosed up and bleary. I might type rubbish again but won't be able to read it back anyway. So this is it, this is the best I can manage. Omid was fun yesterday and his Rappers Delight wasn't bad. I didn't know he had that in him! There's just a line in his book about rapping at school, so thought I'd give it a go. And that's what came out! I'm sure I have a 17 minute version somewhere. Maybe I'll keep it to myself but it was the age of the 12" and it seemed fun to me. And a 12" on coloured vinyl was truly a thing to cherish.
Manics today. Yes the Manic Street Preachers are back with a new album Futurology. They keep threatening to make a difficult album, a radio-unfriendly album, but this fortunately is not it! More anthems and strident songs for you and James and Nicky will be here from 6.
And we could try songs for/about the FUTURE which seems about right to me (and still avoiding the elephant room. But only one more day and the elephant er, goes somewhere else).
Snivel, dab, sneeze.
See you at 5
