Are they really that obscure a band?! I find it hard to imagine people not even knowing of SFA.

I knew OF the Super Furry Animals but I've never heard their music (at least if I have, I didn't know it was them) and I didn't know who Gruff Jones was.

This post is adapted from the opening lines of the SFA song Hometown Unicorn

Some of you are lost, lost on the bypass road. Could be worse, you could be turned to toad.

No wonder the Manics feel the need to degrade themselves to get noticed these days.

I wasn't aware of the band either. Maybe it's my being in North America.
