Press Play and Record simultaneously.

Sorry about the lack of posts - I've, quite simply, had nothing at all to say; nor have I found anything on the World Deep Tinterweb to titillate extensively enough to go out of my way and tell you about.

This has now changed. And in a really big way.

Listen carefully - in fact, save this webpage in your special saving place and, just to be safe, print it out also...

The new Super Furry Animals albumen is out. It's called "Hey Venus". It's fucking brilliant. Without parallel. Unprecedently excellent pop/rock. Well, I say unprecedently but there is, obviously, the precedent of the previous Super Furry Animal's albumens; all of which point to a pretty amazing band, consistently producing innovative popular music which manages to doff it's cap to a multitude of glorious forebears whilst at the same time sounding their equal or better. Suffice, now, to say that "Hey Venus" is a very, very worthy addition to their oeuvre.

If you like the Furries, then you probably don't need a second invitation to go forth and purchase, with immediate effect.

If you haven't really heard much about, or by, the Furries then this is, in a nutshell, a superb introduction to what they're about - listen to my Orb link (where I'm going to helpfully post a few tracks) and luxuriate in the confluence of influence that is their power pop majesty.

If you don't like the Furries, you are, in a very real and objective sense, a fool and you need to seriously reappraise your life, with specific reference to your belief systems and your musical opinions. Once you've done this, go to the Orb link and bathe in the torrents of harmonious joy that you find there.
