Wire claims they regularly turn down advertisement offers

Listening to it, it struck me that PFAYM was reverting to something even before GT: the thing it most made me think of was "Behave Yourself Baby", which sounds utterly wtf against the rest of the Manics canon, but in the context of PFAYM it makes an odd amount of sense.

"Patrick Bateman" should be used to sell expensive watches or something. "I FUCKED GOD UP THE ASS." I can see Paris Hilton jamming to that. Kinda like this:

The album's alright. If you've heard INWJTEOL you'll have a pretty good idea what the whole thing sounds like.
