Yucatan yw band y diwrnod ar:

Yucatan is the band of the day today on:
http://www.anewbandaday.com/

Here's food for thought. (By the way, that sentence will now reveal itself to be pun-tabulous.) So: the world record for eating cow brains is held by Takeru Kobayashi, who ate 57 - nearly 18lbs - in 15 minutes. Oleg Zhornitskiy ate 8lbs of mayonnaise in eight minutes. Don Lerman ate 7 quarter-pound sticks of salted butter in five minutes.

Two thoughts immediately spring to mind. Firstly, that their mothers must be so proud. And secondly, I wonder if there is a point - say, after the fifth pound of mayo - where the sheer awfulness of spooning white fatty gloop into your mouth abates, and a strange zen-like bliss overcomes the participant, making every further spoon/cup/bowl-ful a serotonin-fuelled trip to the brain's pleasure centre.

I assume this is what compels people to keep listening to U2 albums. The thought that doing so was to glimpse bland, ego-fuelled, MOR rock hell disappears, and been replaced by genuine desire to subject themselves to it.

Listening to Today's New Band, Yucatan, will never be a trial or test. Songs like Un Cyfle are fine-spun cobwebs of gentle sound. Yucatan sing in Welsh, a language that has been long suited to dreamy, lilting melodies. No, most listeners won't understand it, but that's missing the point - regardless of your language, you'll get lost in the soothing swoop of the songs and lyrics.

A Oes Ymateb builds from sparseness and reaches twinkling, shimmering heights. Dau is the beautiful music played at a dead miner's wake. If Yucatan's songs were played at a Competitive Eating contest, all the participants would stop, mid-guzzle, to reflect on life, the universe, and their absurd role in it all. Then they'd carry on, because those hot dogs aren't going to eat themselves.

Hi there,
I am deeply toughed by this music, maybe too deep, it fills my divorce- and betrayal mood with more and more tears. But after that, I feel much better.
Come to The Netherlands soon please, I will be there where Yucatan will be.
By the way, the Joshua Tree, isn't that near Yucatan?
Bye,
Frank Smit

Hi Dil,

By referring to The Yoshua Tree I tested the degree of being a U2-fan and after reading your reply I think it comes close to zero... Not that I dislike U2, but for me, looking for special music on the internet gives more satisfaction than just grabbing the next U2-CD. and I hope Yucatan won't become that hot like U2 that I can never get a reply from you personally...

Keep up the good work Dil,

Frank
