The Placid Casual Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Noticed I haven't posted a top 5 up. Tracks: 1. Juxtaposed With U 2. God! Show Me the Magic 3. The Man Don't Give a Fuck 4. (Drawing) Rings Around the World 5. Sidewalk Serfer Girl Special mentions to Presidential Suite, The Placid Casual and Ice Hockey Hair Albums: 1. Rings Around the World 2. Radiator 3. Fuzzy Logic 4. Mwng 5. Phantom Power I think Radiator is their most consistent album, but with 3 tracks from Rings featuring on my top 5, it's hard not to put that at number 1, especially as the album is full of very good tracks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertadams1 Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) BEST BAND EVER first saw them at Glasgow Barrowlands ( think 98 supported by Grandaddy) . The 20 minute finale of The Man dont give a ++++ ........... Saw them again either in 98 or 99 at T in The Park when Robbie Williams was on and a few times afterwards over the years ..... Great to see them back ... hope to catch them play Edited March 4, 2015 by robertadams1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We actually considered that! but then thought the aul ones wouldnt get it.............I dont think some of them got fire in my heart for that matter! ..............and a fair few were pissed off we dictated the DJs set list, no requests and had no band! But I had to laugh, seeing my aunts et al dancing very confused like to the likes of DJ Shadows Organ Donor was very much chuckle worthy!

But I had to laugh, seeing my aunts et al dancing very confused like to the likes of DJ Shadows Organ Donor was very much chuckle worthy! I wanted The Man don't give a f@ck for our first dance but my wife put a stop to it. We also put a play list together for the DJ. there was no way we were having any dreadful pop music at our wedding. The first 2 rules were no R&B no you'll never walk alone And because of these rules and our playlist our wedding had by far the best music I have ever heard at a wedding disco. We also looked at one DJ who said on his website I will not take any play lists or suggestions. I have been doing this for X years and I know what works. no chance!

FuzzyDunlop Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) Just listened to Guerrilla on my SFA chronological experience... So far, this is my least favourite album. Not really feeling it, with the exception of a couple of tunes. Will go back to it later, as I might have been expecting something that I didn't get. Night Vision was the highlight.

michael eavis' beard Posted March 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) A few additional dates added - 3 in Cardiff, 2 in Manchester now. Non pre-sale tickets for Manchester sold out in about a minute - glad we got pre-sale! Anyone still questioning their popularity?!

It's a lot of people's favourite. I really like it. A few additional dates added damn, was hoping a second london date would be the 7th May Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Guerillas near the bottom of the pile for me as well, and I'm fairly sure I've heard the band be critical of it too. The highs on it are very high, but it's a bit rushed with a long stretch in the middle of stuff that sounds like it's just evolved from jams in the studio and it gets over-repetitive. Do the streaming copies have Citizen's Band on it as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The highs on it are very high, but it's a bit rushed with a long stretch in the middle of stuff that sounds like it's just evolved from jams in the studio and it gets over-repetitive. Well put CG. Northern Lites is one hell of a high, at least listen to that one again Fuzzy. Also, essential SFA listening includes non-album single The Man Don't Give A Fuck (came out between the first two albums and has been in their setlist ever since) and the Ice Hockey Hair EP (between Radiator and Guerilla).

Lois. Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 They were on Welsh radio last night and when asked about plans over the summer they were quite tight lipped...I'm choosing to see this as a good sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomThomDrum Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 They were on Welsh radio last night and when asked about plans over the summer they were quite tight lipped...I'm choosing to see this as a good sign. Any chance on expanding on that? Or is there a link to a player? (or if in Welsh dont bother! ) What did they say? or did they simply say something like "we would rather not talk about that yet"?

Lois. Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 It was in Welsh lol. They said something along the lines of 'let's get these few shows done first shall we, then we'll see' kinda thing. Clutching at straws? Me? Never. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eFestivals Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 They were on Welsh radio last night and when asked about plans over the summer they were quite tight lipped...I'm choosing to see this as a good sign.they're not going to be saying "we'll be playing at all the festivals are fans are at" when they have tickets for their own shows to sell first.Plus, they've been around long enough to know that festivals are meant to announce festival line-ups, and not the bands pre-empt it.

FuzzyDunlop Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Just listened to Mwang. My favourite album so far. Really enjoyed that. Obviously didn't have a clue what it's themes are, but it is really enjoyable. Pretty quirky and they have definitely found themselves on this album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
