Richey Edwards for Select magazine, 1994 (source)

transcript under the cut:

What turns you on? Richey: "The books that I find erotic, that turn me on are stuff like Dennis Cooper's 'Frisk', or Mishima's 'Confessions Of A Mask', or JG Ballard's 'Crash'- which is very sexual all the way though. He dreams of being in a car crash with Elizabeth Taylor: auto-imagery, just piling into Elizabeth Taylor and the tail lights meshing into each other, the bonnet being ripped out. It's very violent. There's a Japanese film called 'Tetsuo, The Iron Man'. I love that film. All it is is a man turning into a machine, and in his mind he's got a girlfriend and a potential male lover. I find it really sexy. I think people are becoming more machine-like and that's the imagery I like. Also sex and death are closely linked. Sado-masochistic imagery, bleeding..." Is That Why You Cut Yourself Up A Lot? Richey: "I find it attractive. I find it... sexual."

Nicky tried to do the splits and fell over and spilled his drink all over his bass and then said “sorry about that fall, I already hurt my finger today peeling an orange”

Probably nobody I used to know is following this back-up account but anyway, who is seeing the Manics/Suede tour in November? I’m doing Silver Spring/DC, Philly, NYC and Toronto. Pic of my home Manics shrine just because.

Fingers crossed that since Gerard's dressed like Nicky Wire, they're gonna go for little black dress Brian Molko next

Both bands have shared this graphic to their socials, but I thought having the dates easily accessible on here might be nice.
