I read an interview with Jamie from Marion last year who said,
"I still make money off 'This World And Body' now. Not much - PRS, stuff like that, from being played on the radio. I got £200 on Friday. I usually get about a grand, four times a year"
I really can't remember the last time I ever heard Marion or Menswe@r on the radio.

Looks like I was wrong, they do get played.

It's actually a re-recording of a B-side from an old single (We Love You) Johnny Dean is the only person from the original line up that's involved in this reunion.

Really enjoyed the Menswear gig at Bush Hall earlier this year. I couldn't care less that Johnny Dean is the only original band member (I'm not saying anyone else has any strong opinions about it either way, too). Quite like the new song too.

Oh and the Menswear goes platinum was a hoax but I'm sure that was mentioned before/obvious.

dud, Dud, dUd, duD, DuD, DUd, dUD, DUD!
I honestly can't believe people actually still talk about this heap of shit band as if they were in any way notable. They meant jack shit to me at the time and still don't mean a thing. They were so incredibly easy to dismiss and ignore at the time that it's frustrating reading retrospectives of that time and seeing Menswe@r's name mentioned time and again. They were a nothing band, as far as I'm concerned.

Someone on Facebook I know did an interview with Johnny Dean recently

Quite proud to say I submitted the three readers questions.

Reader question: Why didn’t Menswe@r put The One out as a single? It should have come out after Stardust, would have been a much bigger hit than Sleeping In which was just a good album track (bizarre single choice)
Reader Question: Also why did they hide Bones & Red Meat as bonus track when it’s better than almost every other song on the album.
Reader question: We Love You…. just why??
