oh yeah, they're hot...
they're welsh...
they're superb live...
and lyrically very profound...
Spent some times in stormy weather
Under clouds of my dilemma
Now there's nothing much to do
But sit and rot in front of televisions
Staring back at me
I'm just waiting for the microwaves
To wash me into the sea
You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else (X4)
You know they
Out of focus ideology
Keep the masses from majority
Experts, brain washed, tumble dried
Left to bleed whilst vultures glide
You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else
You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else
You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else
You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else
You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else
You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else
You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else
You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else
You know they
You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else
You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else
You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else
You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else
You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else (X36)
SO, super furry animals anyone...

I just heard one of the new tracks on XFM, it's absolutely bloody epic, gave me goosebumps, serious goosebumps.
here's a link: http://www.xfm.co.uk/Article.asp?id=106854
[edit] in case it turns out to be terrible gave me goosebumps at around 3am on a quite nippy night. If it turns out to be very good, see? goosebumps.

I saw gruff live 2 weeks ago
AMAZING!
I love his solo record, can you believe I haven't heard any SFA.
So I'm really excited about exploring their music...

SUPER FURRY ANIMALS have completed their "epic" seventh studio album – which took the band all over the world.
Recorded in Barcelona, Rio De Janeiro and Cardiff, the album is due out in August and will be called 'Love Kraft', singer Gruff Rhys told NME.COM.
“It’s like a silver cigar-shape space craft, it’s our epic record,” he explained. “It’s the most orchestral record we’ve done, but it’s still very much the sound of a band in a room together.”
The LP was produced by Beastie Boys collaborator Mario Caldato, as was 2003’s ’Phantom Power’. Mixing took place in Caldato’s native Brazil after sessions in Spain. But Rhys was insistent they didn’t rip off their surroundings.
“We made a pact not to make a Brazilian sounding record. There’s nothing worse then a band going to another part of the world and nicking their music,” he said. “We found an old recording desk in Rio that gave everything a really warm sound, and we sampled some Brazilian insects, but there’s no Samba beats.”
Explaining that the rest of the band have joined him on vocals, Rhys added that the record is “very uplifting, but also our least poppy record. It’s more textured and atmospheric”.
A single has yet to be chosen, but the singer revealed there were three strong contenders. “There’s a cosmic funk song called ‘Laser Beam’, a power ballad called ‘Frequency’ and then there’s ‘Psyclone’, which is a song about a chicken crossing the road and getting hit by a meteorite. It didn’t look up and that’s the moral of the song,” he said.
Rhys added that after his recent solo work it’s good to be back with the band.
“I’m planning to be the only solo artist to split up, I thinking of doing it live on the internet,” he declared. “It’s nice to have a record out under your own name, but when we’re together it’s more fun. We’ve been going together for ten years and we’re gradually getting telepathic powers.”
"a song about a chicken crossing the road and getting hit by a meteorite. It didn’t look up and that’s the moral of the song"
thats why I love them!

They've got more great B-sides than most bands have songs.

but this is pure genius:
‘Hey!’ Said The Devil
When I met her at the roundabout
‘ She’s got powers magnetic
Devours you of everything you got.
She’s a golden retriever
Retrieves your oldest coin
Leads you blindly down every dark alley
And there she’ll creem you dry’
‘Stop!’ Said the puppy
When I met him at The Zebra Cross
‘ You’ll need protection from every direction,
But she’ll get you anyhow
She’s a golden retriever
thats a shame BLT, when I saw them live and they rocked, easily rivalled flaming lips for weirdness.

which translates as...
there she is
her face screwed up in pain
she's just been stung
by a bee on her skin
she picks up and rolls a newspaper
then hits it on the wall
revealing a squashed up old wasp
that has definatly been caught
she's so funny
she sees everything
she has eyes
on the back of her head
it's thursday morn
oh her way to work
as she closes the door
it's coming up to seven
whilst wrapping her coat from the cold
she loses a pound coin
she picks it up with no hesitation
and turns back into the wind
she's so funny
she sees everything
she has eyes
on the back of her head
she's so funny
she sees everything
she's so funny
she'll laugh at nothing
she's so funny
she notices all
and she has eyes
on the back of her head
no thanks to the feds
one more i guess
amen
hehehe

Welsh-English translation of "Nythod Cacwn":
Pulling beehives on my head all day
Will this ever end?
Pulling chimes on my head all day
Pickin', pickin', pickin', pickin' on my head all day
Don't pick on me
Oh beehive (X3)
Pulling beehives on my head every hour of the day
Pulling beehives on my head every hour of the night
Pulling beehives on my head and on the heads of my friends
Pulling beehives on my head and on the heads of my family
Don't pick on me
Oh beehive (X3) |
