Super Furries: still don’t give a f**k
- Artists:
- Super Furry Animals »
Welsh marvels, Super Furry Animals, are to celebrate the release of their
singles collection by re-releasing the cult hit ‘The Man Don’t Give
a Fuck’. The single, originally released seven years ago, hit the high
end of the top 40 despite its proliferation of swear words (52, separate ‘fuck’s,
we’re told…). It’s unsure whether this is in re-recorded form or
will be based around the live techno-wigout version that the band have regularly
used to mark the end of their sets.
The single will be released on September 27th, with the ‘Songbook: The Singles Volume One’ LP released on October 4th.
The tracklisting for said record is:
1. Something 4 The Weekend
2. It's Not The End Of The World?
3. Northern Lites
4. Juxtaposed With U
5. Slow Life
6. Fire In My Heart
7. The Man Don't Give A Fuck
8. Hermann Loves Pauline
9. Play It Cool
10. Ice Hockey Hair
11. Do Or Die
12. (Drawing) Rings Around The World
13. God! Show Me Magic
14. Ysbeidiau Heulog
15. Demons
16. Golden Retriever
17. The International Language Of Screaming
18. Hello Sunshine
19. Hometown Unicorn
20. If You Don't Want Me To Destroy You
21. Blerwytirhwng
The band are also expected to play a series of major events up and down the
country around the time. With tanks and inflatable good & bad bears and
everything… Woo!

Super Furries: still don’t give a f**k
If it's possible for a band to be both famous and underrated, then it's this one...
Super Furries: still don’t give a f**k
i liked it as a set ender, although aiming it a politicians is a tad harsh.
Super Furries: still don’t give a f**k
bejeez, i'd forgot quite how many singles they'd released! its incredible theyve still not had a big crap patch after ten years, especially considering how prolific theyve been.
Re: Super Furries: still don’t give a f**k
I love the Super Furries, and living in North Wales, have been fortunate enough to see them countless times in bizarre venues. If any band deserved to get where they are, it was these lot. Should have been pop stars really. They've not been on Top of the Pops enough.

I love them, I love them, I love them. And I still managed to miss them in Oxford!

just to let you know it is a live recording from the astoria gig in aprill (i think that was the month) its one track, and contains the full techno jam along with encore where the yetis get shot
Re: Super Furries: still don’t give a f**k
Wasn't it the Hammersmith Apollo?

is it possible to have forgotten just how great this band can be?
still not 'getting' phantom power or phorce, but i love them all the same.

I thought they were supposed to have a new studio album out soon? Has this been put back then?
Super Furries: still don’t give a f**k
i absolutely love the Furries, they are probably my favourite band if i had to choose just one, but i'm worried now.
Not because of the single, i'm pleased i'll be able to stumble about to the techno version in the comfort of my own home, but because of the singles collection.
i distinctly remember them saying that if they ever resorted to a 'Greatest Hits' package then they'd split up because it would be a sign that they'd run out of ideas.
Now, of course, i'm worried that's true. They've barely released a duff track, never mind a duff album, so it might not seem implausible that they feel like they've 'dried up', even for a band as consistent as they have been.
Or, of course, it could be pressure from Sony. Those yeti costumes can't be cheap to dry clean.
*breaks into a cold sweat*
(p.s. they're doing something in London on October 1st, as far as i can recall.)

I bought RATW a couple of years ago and thought 'nice album, good change from everything else' and pretty much forgot about it.
Then I heard Something for the weekend on the radio and dived into their back catalogue. Now I own everything they've done and adore all their albums.
The fact is that very few people know of the unrivalled Super Furrys back catalogue outside the sort of people that read this site. I personally hate greatest hits as they cause people to think that's all there is to a band and other album track are rubbish, therefore taking away the chance of enjoying full records. However, this is a great chance for earlier tracks to reach a new audience and build up a fanbase. It's amazing how many people my age [15] don't own an album by them or even know of anything before phantom power, although they listen to music that is clearly influenced by gruff&co.

Re: Super Furries: still don’t give a f**k
that's one of the best things about SFA... its only when a greatest hits comes out when you realise how many good singles and albums they've released. i'm glad they were never the 'hot band of the moment'. we're all sick of over-hyped bands like Franz Ferdinand and the Killers...

I have some details about new album plans on:

Just listened to the whole 22-minute single version.
It is rubbish.
It is rubbish.

I hope they don't split, they are a fantastic band...but saw them earlier last month at Summer Sundae in Leiecester and it all felt very half assed and tired
Super Furries: still don’t give a f**k
They've had a long tour, sounds like typical end of tour knackeredness... they were great in Toronto in February, full of energy,
