Or Podgram, if you prefer Gruff’s term. Times Online has Gruff Rhys and Lisa Jen talking about the Candylion album and performing “Cycle of Violence”, “Lonesome Words” and the best song about driving ever bar none “Gyrru Gyrru Gyrru”.
Gruff also talks about how he wanted the Fingerbob-inspired Candylion artwork to be “a little bit shit looking”, getting thrown out of hotels due to his shaggy appearance, the forthcoming Furries record and train-surfing. Check out the mp3s of the live session.
