We were all woken with a bang, Yard Act, who are giving 100% Endurance. Still think of this as their Bill Is Dead, courtesy Lauren Laverne. Moonlight Shadow by Mike Oldfield and chums. Haven’t heard this in a while and it is a choon. Manics. Greatest Rock and Roll Song Ever. #MotorcycleEmptiness

Zombies by The Cranberries. Great tune, great argument for better history teaching in schools. As is everything ever recorded by Manic Street Preachers, here doing the greatest rock and roll song ever: #MotorcycleEmptiness to the best disco torch song ever: every heartbeat by yer man and Robyn

And so the answer to this evening's #WhatsTheWord is the Manic Street Preachers classic #MotorcycleEmptiness and here it is.

Staying back in the day: Mission Drive by #TheWonderStuff; back to Japan for the greatest rock and roll song ever written/recorded/performed: under neon loneliness #MotorcycleEmptiness by #ManicStreetPreachers; and now #TheJam, That’s Entertainment! Are you not entertained, etc?

Manic Street Preachers live on stage at the Apollo in Manchester the other week.

One? Not sure why, or even if, i typed that. Tusk by Fleetwood Mac next, a great live version with marching bands. Look it up. Levellers doing One Way, the collective’s manifesto. Very much so. The greatest rock and roll song ever (thus far?) now. #MotorcycleEmptiness. Doesn’t feel like a week..

Here is a great one from the Manic Street Preachers. This song, Motorcycle Emptiness, is off of their first album, released in 1992: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gavc...
