Cabin Fever

Monday, monday, monday. Spent the weekend going to another going away dinner (hehehehehehe), finishing unpacking, hanging stuff on my walls, and finally getting the turntables hooked up. The next podcast is in the incubation stage.

The Super Furry press machine is heating up. Guto tells icWales, "I think we always consider our next album to be a masterpiece," and that the name of the album, Love Kraft, comes from a sex shop of the same name that's located near their home studio in Cardiff.

The Super Furries drink Pepsi, but wouldn't say no to Red Stripe if they came a callin'.

The Guardian UK calls the Furries "grandiose pop engineers", "Welsh-language obfuscators", "paranoid polemicists" and "...men in blue bear suits playing techno." And that's just in the first paragraph. They go on to call Love Kraft "a modern-day psychedelic soul record."

Gruff tells The Independent Online about the alien abduction themed song "Psyclone!"; "The ultimate moral of the song is that when you are crossing the road, you should look right and left, but you should also look up, because you never know what's going to hit you. It's kind of an update on the Green Cross Code for the new millennium."

Did the GLC and SFA team up at the V Festival this weekend? I cant seem to find out. If you know, get at me.

The Chief talks to Billboard UK. Liam still hates Pete Doherty, but The Streets heart Oasis (and Kaiser Chiefs). Noel says Liam will go solo before he does; "He's got more songs, and he's a lot more driven in that department, because although he's 30-odd, he's only just started writing songs, so he's kind of where I was when I was 21."

Depeche Mode is not worth getting arrested over. Obvs.

Radiohead (all of them) have a blog. I think this wins for the most linked story of the day.

I have no idea what this is all about, but it's effing awesome.

Toine's creaky knees cost him two years of guarenteed money, while the C's sign Will Bynum and close in on locking up Dan Dickau. If we sign Double D, then we'll have 18 players under contract (for a 15 man roster) and 5 point guards on the team. Are these two signings the prefix to a deal coming down the pike? Will that deal include Paul Pierce or Mark Blount and Marcus Banks? But if we do sign Dan, that means more of Heather Dickau at all the C's games, and that's not a bad thing.
