Manics love Nixon

Manic Street Preachers are expected to release a new single, 'The Love of Richard Nixon' in Sep followed by a new album 'Life Blood' in Oct. Talking about the album Nicky Wire told NME: "It really is the poppiest album we've ever done. The mixer of Goldfrapp has been working with us, and he's given it a really lovely sheen and a modern edge. We've been listening to The Associates, early New Order, Joy Division. It's 'The Holy Bible' for 35-year-olds!"
