    This video could be part two of Manic Street Preachers "Rewind The Film." Both are great!

    Excellent song!
    Fortunately they have more good songs, including a Bowie-ashes to ashes cover.

    Man, I love Manics/Kent fandom cross-polination! I've noticed it on foreverdelayed.org.uk (the foremost Manics fan forum) as well, and in a lot of my friends. In fact, I would consider it very hard not to like one, if you like the other. Both are bands with sprawling back-catalogues, that form entire worlds of their own. Worlds, that accompany and somehow even "protect" their listener, much akin to what it's like to be a sci-fi or fantasy nerd. Both have a knack for writing killer pop tunes, with complicated and myth-forming lyrics and sometimes darker (without going goth) subcurrents. Neither shy away from epics, and are very LP-oriented. Both are very aesthetically pleasing, in their album art, iconography, and themes. Albums appear to be colour-coded. Both employ varied, and at times sublime production techniques. Both are slightly (but not too) undervalued in the larger, global music-geek discourse. Meaning they don't have the baggage bands like Radiohead have. Their worlds are easier to make "your own", since they don't belong to the whole world at large.

    Also, both are in a way socialist, or have at least a complicated and interesting relationship with socialism. (Both are from countries with a history of socialism, - Swedish social democracy and Welsh communism)

    At the same time, they don't have too many overlapping elements in their respective "worlds". They don't compete, eclipse each other. Though there are funny little coincidences. For example, I read somewhere (kent's english wiki page?) that Joakim Berg decided to become a musician (or was convinced to write songs, I don't remember exactly) after hearing a little known track "Red Sleeping Beauty" by a short lived band called McCarty. The Manics have covered this song. And have been influenced.

    It's a great Thatcher era protest song, with nice abstract on somehow even ominous lyrics. There's a slight aesthetic connection with the album title "Röd" in there as well, if you squint your eyes enough.

    I think the closest straight link between them is The Cardigans, Nina Person on the Manics single "Your Love Alone Is Not Enough". Also, James Dean Bradfield has said his favorite guitarist of all time is the guitarist of The Cardigans. We all know kent and The Cardigans are pretty close, having toured and all.

    I wonder what these bands think of each other's work? I'm pretty sure they admire it, or would admire it greatly, if they would give it a deeper listen. Both are bands that award careful, associative listening, delving into The Myth. Though the mythology of Manic Street Preachers, I have to admit, is a bit grander and darker thanks to the whole Richey thing. (Their troubled and extremely talented lyricist/guitarist disappeard in 1995).

    All and all I would have to say I like kent a tad bit more, since they epitomise, for me, what a truly grand pop-culture narrative could be, aesthetically.

    Also. Both bands have a truly admirable work ethic. Enough can't be said about their commitment to craft. It is truly awe-inspiring how they (both) continue producing masterpiece after masterpiece, after all these years. When other bands have, by that time, long since devolved into laziness, complacency, and even self-pity. (It's so haaard to make an LP...) The Manics are masters of comeback. I was not expecting "Rewind The Film" to be that stark of a return to glory. While kent, of course, have never had the need to return from anything. They appear to be impervious to mistakes. Nearly god-like in their persistant quality. I call them the Miracle Machine. And I don't even envy them, as an artist. One should strive to learn from them. Hard work. And a healthy mix of self-criticism, mixed with pride and belief in your own abilities. That is all that is required. No "genius", none of that eugenic bullshit.

    Pardon the long rant, but yeah. Kent and the Manics. They get me talking.

    Great post. Your analysis of the similarities and differences is really spot-on. I don't know which band I prefer. As a Swede, I have followed Kent for much longer but got to know MSP earlier thanks to the brilliant Motorcycle emptiness. I guess its harder for foreigners to get into bands like Kent and MSP who are well rooted in their domestic cultures, even if their musical ideas are international enough.

    I have only heard a few of their songs so I can't comment on how good they are but an American electro rock duo called Phantogram has two ridiculously catchy songs called Fall In Love and When I'm Small

    I'm giving Manic Street Preachers a try. All these 90s British bands have disappointed me so far though I love some of the ones to come out of the 00's. The Man Who by Travis is probably my favourite 90s British album and I'm listening to Holy Bible by the Manics and kinda enjoying it though not as much.

    Yes is a really really solid song, a bit more pop and the rest of the album doesn't really have that. It seems to be their highest rated album but from some youtube-ing, I think I would like their later more modern/less punk sounding stuff more.

    Also, can't wait for a new album by this Aussie band. Their debut was fantastic, average second, slightly weak third because they changed their sound but next one seems like it'll be good.

    I guess it comes easy to prefer one of their 'phases'. Even if I think The holy bible is really well constructed and recorded, I can't help liking albums like Lifeblood and their latest, Rewind the film, much much more - for the song writing probably.

    Good song and video. That is a very nice guide to Paris!

    From last month, the new Last Shadow Puppets album Everything You've Come To Expect is great. Especially the first four songs, chamber-pop perfection. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJ2zcg5hBa4

    The new Travis and Boxer Rebellion albums are average but here's a couple good songs from both:
