what my grandma told me
friday is for maudlin, psychopathic, acoustic, welsh music. isn't it? well, that's what my grandma told me, so it must be true:
cryndod yn dy lais - gruff rhys
chwarae'n troi'n chwerw - gruff rhys
those tracks are from an acoustic session by super furry animal gruff rhys. you can download more from this set on the planet claire web site. visit gruff and the super furry animals here.
more good music that grandma recommends: live matt pond pa mp3s over at bradley's almanac.
non-related news tidbits:
the bbc reports that the current drought in the horn of africa is likely to leave 17 million people in need of food assistance. the bbc also has an interesting article on how some organizations exploit these types of crises with the wrong kinds of appeals. the article also touches on the controversial topic of "the drawbacks to aid."
the ny daily news reports that colin farrell and others attended an nyc cop funeral this week and filmed it for a movie without the permission of the slain officer's family. man, i hope that story is being misconstrued.
finally, will there ever be another mega-band? is coldplay the next u2? will people stop writing that stupid-ass headline? please. leave it to the christian science monitor to try and figure it out. apparently the answer to all 3 of the above questions is "no!" - and you can add a scream for emphasis:
stay true

i agree, the CSM is lame...
i hadn't heard about that Colin Farrell story, that's sketchy as hell, and if true, Colin Farrell becomes even more of a dbag than i previously thought, which was a BIG TIME dbag.
peace, babe, keep rocking
i agree--the answer is "no." coldplay has reached their/its "height" i think. (btw--i agree about the word "fun")
I linked to your site - thanks for the CSM story - I wrote about it.
So, what kind of writer are you?
thanks for the richard hell recomendation. i like the artic monkeys and was skeptical on his stuff....turns out i like it...i really really like it. still have to check out the gruff rhys mp3s...my sound went crazy after i put Gloria and Original of the Species videos on my ipod.*
Your Gran knows her stuff.
