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...

Gruff is a dude! that reminds me... ,pops to other thread...
they've got a new album of covers coming out called "under the influence" i think which looks interesting
i always liked them because it's just seriously fun music, i've had 'God! Show me magic' playing today and now I'm trying to remember where my copy of radiator is so I can listen to 'chupacabras'
Chupa chupa chupacabras chupacabras chupacabras
Chupa chupa chupacabras chupacabras chupacabras
Have you heard about the bat?
Eats your goat and then your cat
Soon enough you will not smile
When it comes you'll run a mile!
It says:
Soy super bien soy super super bien soy bien bien super bien bien bien super super!
Soy super bien soy super super bien soy bien bien super bien bien bien super super!

My fave album is still Radiator but they're all great. I don't think anyone writes better lyrics than SFA. What could be better than a song about finding dinosaur eggs in a quarry, bringing them home and having them hatch in your bedroom?
Anybody get Gruff's new album? I think it was just release a couple weeks ago. |

someone is posting me a copy of YR ATAL GENHEDLAETH sometime at the end of the week
i think it means something like the hindered generation, the 'atal' bit is giving me some trouble (my welsh/english dictionary i bought at uni lists about 15 translations for it)
have you ever seen them live?

Never heard of them, but maybe I should...
So this is for when you're feeling happy again
And this is for when you're feeling sad
And this is for when you feel...

| I saw them at the El Rey in Los Angeles on the Rings tour. They were very good, though we felt let down by no encore-- I thought the amount of applause warranted one. |

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) |

Yeah great lyrics.
Dacw hi, a'i gwyneb mewn poen
Mae hi newydd gael ei phigo gan byr ar ei chroen
Mae'n gafael mewn papur cyfagos a'i daro ar y wal
Mae'n gadael gwennynen ar ôl sydd yn sicr wedi ei dal
Mae hi'n ddoniol
(Mae hi'n ddoniol)
Mae'n sylwi pob dim
(Mae'n sylwi pob dim)
Ac mae'n medru gweld
Drwy gefn ei phen
Dim dioloch i'r Drefn
Mae'n fore iau ac mae'n mynd i'r gwaith
Wrth gau ei drws mae hi'n tynnu at saith
Wrth gau ei chôt rhag yr oerni mae hi'n colli pishyn punt
Mae'n ei bigo o fyny yn syth cyn troi nôl i mewn i'r gwynt
Mae hi'n ddoniol
(Mae hi'n ddoniol)
Mae'n sylwi pob dim
(Mae'n sylwi pob dim)
Ac mae'n medru gweld
Drwy gefn ei phen
Dim dioloch i'r Drefn
Mae hi'n ddoniol
(Mae hi'n ddoniol)
Mae'n sylwi pob dim
(Mae'n sylwi pob dim)
Mae hi'n ddoniol
(Mae hi'n ddoniol)
Neith hi chwerthin ar ddim
(Neith hi chwerthin ar ddim)
Mae hi'n ddoniol
(Mae hi'n ddoniol)
Mae'n sylwi pob dim
(Mae'n sylwi pob dim)
Ac mae'n medru gweld
Drwy gefn ei phen
Dim dioloch i'r Drefn
Unwaith drachefn
Amen
Love, love, my season |

Juxtaposed, just suppose, just suppose I'm juxtaposed with you...
Ring ring! Ring ring! rings around the world!
She's got ice-hockey hair!
Yay!

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

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.

They've got more great B-sides than most bands have songs.
And Gruff plays a right-handed guitar left-handed. Without changing the strings. |

Sorry.
No!
I was not making fun!
I was in a mood yesterday and was actually truly enjoying your little "pop in here and make a funny" posts.
No one does it like you Rita.

I have mentioned it enough I'm sure. Yeah the hair on the top of my head is almost all gone. I keep my head closely shaved, although I did anyway.

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!
