Once You Get Hooked You Can't Get Enough

Snow Patrol <3's Super Furry Animals:

"If Nirvana made me pick up a guitar, Super Furry Animals made me think about what I had say with it," he said. "I think they're our generation's Beatles.

Snow Patrol is not our generation's Beatles or U2 for that matter, but they toss out a good anthem now and again. Hopefully there will be a few on their new album due out October 28.

Super Furry Animals' most recent album Hey Venus! was released a year ago.

Hey Venus!

Only on Too Poppy can we jump from Led Zep to shoegazers to The Eagles to Super Furry Animals all in one day. NME is reporting that SFA's Hey Venus! will be released in the US digitally and vinyly on 8/28. You'll wait until January to get your hands on that 5" plastic, though (if you really must have it, you can pick up the import from Amazon.com on 9/3). A North American tour will accompany the release. Spiffy.

Tracklist:

'The Gateway Song' 'Run-Away' 'Show Your Hand' 'The Gift That Keeps Giving' 'Neo Consumer' 'Into The Night' 'Baby Ate My Eightball' 'Carbon Dating' 'Suckers' 'Battersey Odyssey' 'Let The Wolves Howl At The Moon'

It's Such a Shame

Bonjipop shared this cute & spiffy video from Gruff Rhys of Super Furry Animals. Candylion is Rhys' second solo album and the name of this delicate and pleasant tune. The album hit stores overseas on Monday and unfortunately it hasn't popped up yet on iTunes, which sometimes happens for imports. The official word from Rough Trade: CURRENTLY NOT LICENSED FOR SALE IN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Boo on you.
