We have a new single coming out next month. The artwork is really beautiful and the track is pretty good too, even if I do say so myself.

New single 'I'm fine, are you?' cover revealed ! It's been lovingly created by our good pal and artist @ Nate gamble and features a dreamy surfer gal riding a wave in paradise. Hope you like it and don't ya think it will make an awesome t-shirt ;) it will be out on November 14 on @lnfg.bsky.social

I can confirm we’ve yet to receive the call from Alan.

Band in a shed.....
F.O. Machete, follow up their Mother Of A Thousand LP with a marvellous new single.
I'm Fine Are You?
Which is NOT the theme tune to the new Alan Partridge tv series. I'd just like to make that clear as I play the record on the Late Show.

I was meant to be going to the Earthquaker Devices pedal clinic thing at Guitar Guitar in Glasgow tonight but my wee boy isn't feeling well so sadly won't be able to make it. Gutted not least as there's a chance to win one of their pedals at it.

This is real I think but it almost sounds like a headline from The Daily Mash.

I dunno, I saw them a couple of times back in the old days and don’t remember it being quite so bongo heavy. Although maybe I’ve just blocked out the memories 😂 They were good fun though!

Whoop whoop! Super Furry Animals are back touring next year! At the Barras too! That’ll be tremendous! 💚💚💚

Paul George Mellon @paulgeorgemellon.bsky.social · 19d

The Beta Band at The Barras. More bongo solos than I remember from the old days…

Disappointing that Celtic couldn’t hold onto the lead yet again in Europe but nothing new there. I’ve had a lovely day in beautiful Berlin either way…

Everyone else has left the office so I'm sitting listening to Urusei Yatsura, Cay and The Llama Farmers, like the big 90's guy that I am.

Paul George Mellon @paulgeorgemellon.bsky.social · Sep 12

This is great. You should listen.

Paul George Mellon @paulgeorgemellon.bsky.social · Sep 9

The price of Boss guitar pedals is getting out of hand. They're meant to be the affordable but good quality everyman pedals. The Space echo is £240, the Waza Chorus £260, even the basic OS-2 is over 100 quid now as are the standard Overdrive and Blues Driver. Too much.

I've tried many times but never quite managed to recreate the fuzz tone of the guitars in this song. It's incredible. Sounds like an actual storm coming out of the speakers.🎸🎸🎸 🤘🤘🤘https://youtu.be/xyo7eHkQjJw?si=jPN-rl-m7NZ3ZXyk

This tickled me...

Just take Adam Idah on a long drive into the middle of the countryside, pull up next to a nice big field, open the door to let him out to stretch his legs, then when he gets out just drive away and leave him there never to be seen again.

Paul George Mellon @paulgeorgemellon.bsky.social · Aug 26

That anyone would say this about an album we made is just hugely flattering to me. I’m so happy there’s some people out there who love the record this much 💜🩷❤️

A bit like D'You Know What I Mean being the exact same chords as Wonderwall but just played louder while fleein' on cocaine.
