Croeso i wefan y nofelydd, ffotograffydd ac enillydd Llyfr y Flwyddyn 2007, Llwyd Owen.

Pum peth dw i’n mwynhau y mis hwn:

1 – Fideos wedi’u hailgymysgu gan Guy Evans, DJ amryddawn o Gaerdydd. Mae ‘19’ gan Paul Hardcastle yn arbennig o dda…

2 – Gwaith celf gan Nixon72, aka Greg Evans, artist graffiti o Gaerdydd (ac efaill Guy, uchod!).

3 – Efallai mai nid ‘mwynhau’ yw’r gair cywir, ond mae ymdrechion cefnogwyr Clwb Pêl Droed Dinas Caerdydd i recordio caneuon i nodi llwyddiant y clwb o gyrraedd Wembley yn werth eu gweld:

‘Bluebirds Flying High’ gan James Fox – cân swyddogol y clwb sy’n swnio fel Oasis yn canu cân gan Andrew Lloyd Webber. Hmmmmmmm.

‘Do The Ayatollah’ gan gefnogwyr y clwb – ma’r gân yma mor f*ckin hilarious o wael, rhaid i chi ei gweld hi, i’w chredu hi, fel petai!

‘Soul Crew Cardiff City’ gan Leigh Bailey – dyma’r un gorau o bellffordd, ond dyw hynny ddim i ddweud bod hi’n dda iawn chwaith!

4 – Taff Wars… sef Star Wars wedi’i leoli yng Nghymoedd y Rhondda. Genius llwyr.

5 – Cate Le Bon… yn gyffredinol… ond hefyd yn canu ar sengl Neon Neon, I Lust You, oddi ar yr albwm annisgwyl o wych, Stainless Style. Mae EP newydd allan ganddi ar ddechrau mis Mehefin hefyd – ar feinyl hefyd. Neis.

Mae hawlfraint holl gynnwys y wefan hon, boed yn ddelwedd ffotograffeg neu'n waith ysgrifenedig, yn perthyn i Llwyd Owen. Mae'n anghyfreithlon atgynhyrchu unrhyw ran ohono heb ganiatad y perchennog.

08 May 2008.

Welcome to novelist, photographer and 2007 Welsh Book of the Year winner, Llwyd Owen’s website.

Five things I’m enjoying this month:

1 – Remixed videos by Guy Evans, a Cardiff based DJ. ‘19’ by Paul Hardcastle is especially good…

2 – Art work by Nixon72, aka Greg Evans, a graffiti artist from Cardiff.

3 – Maybe ‘enjoying’ is not the right word, but these three songs paying tribute to Cardiff City’s upcoming Wembley FA Cup final appearance are definitely worth a butch:

‘Bluebirds Flying High’ by James Fox – the ‘official’ anthem which sounds like Oasis playing something penned by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Hmmmmmmm.

‘Do The Ayatollah’ by some random city supporters featuring the most comical front man in the history of music. WARNING – this song is so completely bad, it might kill you.

‘Soul Crew Cardiff City’ by Leigh Bailey – this is by far the best effort… although that doesn’t mean its particularly good either!

4 – Taff Wars… which is basically Star Wars set in the Rhondda Valleys. Utter genius.

5 – Cate Le Bon… generally… but also singing on Neon Neon’s single, I Lust You, from the unexpectedly good album, Stainless Style. Cate has a new EP out at the start of June – on vinyl too. Nice.
