Mogwai is My Friend

[bballarl]

I saw Mogwai last tour.

[bballarl]

Mogwai Fear Satan.

[bballarl]

Also, make sure it is a live version. It will probably be broken up into pieces.

[luckyface]

GOOOOOOOD All you do is bitch about missing Mogwai shows. waaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

It is times like these that make me realize just how much I hate you.

hmm? although seeing the song performed live is epic, I don't think there is anything inferior about the recorded version. then again I've never heard a live recording, I've only heard it live when I've been at their shows.

[suprefan]

Oh Christ Rage you can't be serious?

He is, he doesnt knwo any better.

[Tylerdurden31]

What are some essential mogwai songs? I've seen a youtube video by them and I thought nothing special of it. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place.

Yes! I Am a Long Way From Home
Xmas Steps
2 Rights Make 1 Wrong
You Don't Know Jesus
Killing All the Flies
Kids Will Be Skeletons
Superheroes of BMX
Ithica 27o9
We're No Here
Glasgow Mega-Snake


I could really just list all their stuff...but I won't

[miscorrections]

I just listened to Happy Songs for Happy People again and it is so good.

[luckyface]

So thats us one week into our recording session with Andy Miller at Chem 19 and i'm delighted to say that its going great. We'll also be announcing our first shows of 2008 in the next week or so.

Let's hope this means US dates.

The distortion is so much more powerful live. You get more of a sense of the volume.

Yep it's exactly that : you can feel Mogwai's music in you bones vibrating with the bass, you feel the guitars crushing you in a bear hunt, the piano tickles your spine, it's physical.

[BeHereNOW]

I'd die for an El Rey show. The Avalon would actually be nice just because of that killer soundsystem they have.

where is this 'El Rey' ? L.A ?

[Hawkings]

Super heroes of BMX is pretty sweet

[bmack86]

Damn skippy

Quite possibly my favorite song of theirs. I am so happy they pulled it out of retirement last year. We might get it if they decide to tour the US sometime soon.

[RockStr4Life]

Mogwai and Massive Attack did overlap, I had to miss Mogwai because I was camping out through Massive Attack for Tool. Massive Attack were amazing. It's tough to say which I'd pick even if I wasn't camping out for Tool. Mogwai is amazing and one of my favorite bands, but so is Massive Attack. Mogwai got screwed.

[Tylerdurden31]

anyone ever heard the Mogwai/Bardo Pond Split?

[luckyface]

Looks like Crippled Black Phoenix might be touring Europe in April & May. If that is the case, those "Mogwai opening for Radiohead" rumors can be put to rest.

i'd really appreciate it if CBP came over here...at least to NY

we have been with our arms on the stage edge for the boys ..... we kept saying ...huh ... all the next day lol ... x****

[gratytrainridesagain]

Mogwai is my friend until I fed it after midnight

[luckyface]

Looks like you can stop talking about Mogwai for Radiohead's tour:

Availability
Time: Late Summer / Early Fall
Situation: Festivals / Headline Dates

They are also finishing off their new album, so it is pretty unlikely we will see them any time before the summer. They are playing a European festival in mid-June I believe, so we probably are looking at July/August at the earliest.

God, I hope they don't tour in September.

[luckyface]

Oh man! I hope this goes over so well they take this to the States.

Mogwai Young Team - Live

Afternoon, a special announcement of sorts. We're going to be doing a exclusive performance of the 'Mogwai Young Team' record live in its entirety at this year's Summercase in July. For more information about the festival you can visit their website here.

Oh, and new album is just about done!

Good day. We are almost finished mixing our howling hawk of a new record and we're so pleased with it that we might never release it and instead just put it on our own iPod shuffles and walk the streets of Glasgow, never speaking, Syd-Barrett-style forever.

It's got it all, dreamy ballads about forbidden love gone awry, one minute pointless instrumentals and even some spoken word about the future of the music industry in India. If and when you allow yourself to hear these bitching jams you're going to want to buy some seriously good crystal meth just to take the edge off.

You know how Radiohead let their album be downloaded for free? Well, our very own John Cummings had his own method of doing this when he left his new mogwai-new-album-containing laptop in Nice n Sleazies by accident the other night. Don't worry, it's all fine.

Okay, just a wee update. I hope you are all well.

Yep, good stuff! And we have a May 27 date for the Young Team reissue. I am picking that shit up on vinyl and CD.

[ThomThom]

Thank god for that reissue, my dogs got into a stack of my cd's, which included Young Team.
