Guinea pigs are quite difficult to draw, I think, because they're so furry.
If a potato can produce vitamin C, why can't we? Within the animal kingdom only humans and guinea pigs are unable to synthesize vitamin C in their own bodies. Why us and guinea pigs? No point asking. Nobody knows.

So when I start a record with Super Furry Animals I can never predict how it'll turn out.
We say that we are the guinea pigs of our experiment, we are doing things on ourselves, and if the audience can enjoy it as much as we do then that's great. If they don't, that's not a big deal.
