Huw has outdone himself. After a discussion on the list about what non-SFA and non-solo tracks Gruff appears on... we now have a shiny new YouTube channel, collecting all the songs in one place.
I highly recommend checking it out as there are some tracks on there that are quite hard to find. I particularly like the comprehensive notes on each entry. Plus the fact that he's even included Gruff's carrot chewing on the Misty's Big Adventure song!
Brought a smile to my face!
Check it out

All quiet on the Furry front...
There's really not much going on at the moment. But I do get the impression that, as always, Gruff is beavering away in the background and just not giving away much.
'Separado!'
'Separado!' (now spelt correctly by me...) now has it's own website. Which basically just consists of a picture and an email address. But you can sign up to a mailing list so hopefully Ms. Catryn Ramasut will let us know if there is ever any news on this film. Or maybe it will only ever consist of a picture on a dead website. Ho hum.
A pretty picture for 'Separado!' (otherwise known as the official website).
There are some ripples of excitement on the list and board as both Andy Votel and David Wrench (producer-types) have made passing references to working on Gruff's solo album. But, as usual, there's no real information on the album. I think Gruff must have briefed both of them to just drop hints and tease us... He's a little flirt. Anyway, I'm guessing this solo album they're referring to is the soundtrack for 'Separado!'. But I assume that, if it is, then the film and soundtrack are tied in together and one won't be released without the other. In other words, I'm wondering if the solo album is dependent on 'Separado!' finding a distributor? As a stalwart of the Welsh music scene it must be a lot easier for him to release an album than a film... Gruff's an untested element when it comes to the film side of things.
Gorillaz
And Gruff continues his rent-a-vocal duties. (I mean that in the nicest possible way, who wouldn't want to rent those vocals?) This time he is appearing on the new Gorillaz album, Plastic Beach. In the new issue of Q, there's a feature on the Gorillaz album and Gruff has a little side-bar. He says he appears on 'Superfast Jellyfish' and 'Leviathan' but, looking at the tracklist, it would appear that 'Leviathan' has been dropped (how very dare they!). Anyway, that'll be one song to download from iTunes. Unless you have a thing for virtual bands and want to get the whole album...
Well, that's a lot of words to basically just say there's no news. I need something at the end of all this. Ah! A download! That'll do nicely.

The sound is quite bad, so turn it up to 11!
