The Manics and Steve Albini are currently busy in a studio making an album based around unrecorded Richey lyrics.
Part of me is excited at the idea of the Manics working with a producer who should be able to kick out a load of their flab, and using lyrics written by the smart one out the band. The other part of me - and it turns out to be the bit of me which shouts the loudest - is picturing James Dean Bradfield smashing the glass on the big red 'In emergency of running totally of out ideas' panic box on the studio wall.
That's a bit harsh. To me it sounds like a final gesture of remembrance to their best friend before they finally call it quits.
