Mogwai is My Friend

[kyleuga]

The sounds issues were def bothering Stuart, but a lot of that has to do with him being a perfectionist and is queing up everything.

They def still destroyed.

MFMK (somehow it was my first in 6 shows) and 2 Rights were highlights for sure, awesome show, I'll miss seeing them.

Mogwai are incapable of playing a show that is even lowly enough to be called "good"...but I can't overstate how disappointed I would have been with that Belly Up setlist. I'd like to thank them again for giving LA their very best.

[luckyface]

It's funny. I saw the setlist before they even hit the stage and noticed not one Happy Songs track. I was thinking, "I'm sure Gabe won't be upset he missed this show." LA definitely had the better setlist and was the better show, but I still think you would have enjoyed it.

[captncrzy]

Yeah, that was awesome! I'm pretty sure my eyeballs were vibrating at one point.

Next time I want to hear them play Like Herod SO badly.

Great setlist last night too considering that note at the end. Seriously, what is up with those guys.

Mogwai needs to play Philly every week. Amazing show last night. Encore of Werewolf/Freak/Ratts was a very nice surprise.

has that leaked yet? I am more than a little skeptical.

[luckyface]

Their last remix album was pretty fantastic, so I have high hopes for this one.

[shakermaker113]

was there one since kicking a dead pig?

[luckyface]

was there one since kicking a dead pig?

Nope. Just some remixes on singles and what not.

[shakermaker113]

on first listen I am not impressed. the robert hampson remix of la mort blanche is awesome though.

[luckyface]

I am a late comer to the remix album, but I definitely dig it. There is some weak shit on the album (particularly that Mexican Grand Prix remix - what a let down), but I think most of the tracks are good to fantastic (the Letters to the Metro and Rano Pano remixes especially). I think some of the remixes are actually better than the originals.

I wish the new EP was longer. You are paying $4.00 for 13 minutes of material. Sure, that is 4 songs, but as we know, Mogwai has released multiple tracks that are longer than 13 minutes on their own. Wizard Motor is pretty awesome while the others are the quiet atmosphere that is expected from Mogwai on soundtracks.
