Song of the day is Ymaelodi Âr Ymylon---by the Super Furry Animals! 

Thank you verrry much!

This song is all about dwelling on the periphery...especially in the world of music.

This song is exactly why I love SFA and this song perfectly captures what they are PERFECT at.

Embracing instead of lamenting their perfect place on the edges!

In honor of the great show last night at the Doug Fir...the song of the day is Juxtaposed With U.

We have to tolerate all the people that we hate, I'm not in love with you, but I won't hold that against you.  We need more of this sentiment in the world.

Last night at the Doug Fir, Portland OR, the Super Furries crew offered up some delicious offerings from their latest CD Hey Venus! Stand outs for me were The Gift that Keeps Giving and Run Away. They also did a great job playing some of the older favorites...Calimero (song about a chicken), Do or Die, Juxtaposed With U, Golden Retriever, Rings Around the World.

Super fun was the interactive event where everyone put their hands on top of their heads in a wiggly antennae fashion to help move the crazy cosmic music from the front of the stage all the way to the back of the Doug Fir and perhaps it is still reverberating around the world.

They played a solid and fantastic set.

I love you SFA and thanks for the absolutely great time in Portland OR!!!

Run Away...Super Furry Animals from Hey! Venus.

For all those things we avoid so that we don't have to cry a little or die a little...

For those days we don't run away from work or whatever holds us down or back...we tuck our little feelings down inside and keep going somehow someway...

Am enjoying their new CD...it is growing on me bit by bit...and I won't run away from it!

Frequency by Super Furry Animals...here is a snippet for your review...

Take another leaflet from the stand
Put a stake on some land
Bring another baby to the world
Clone a boy then a girl

Hand in hand we can break the command
(x4)

Take another leaflet from the stand
Choose a color that's bland
Win the burger franchise for the world
Win the ranch, get the girl
You say history will be your judge
But the jury's whipped, gagged and drugged
Take away the blinkers from your eyes
Humans split, polarised
Take another leaflet from the stand
Put a steak on some land
Bring another baby to the world
Clone a boy then a girl

 I think we can tell what and who this song is about....
