Quote :

"as the title might suggest, a large part of ‘mr beast’ finds mogwai returning to the bone-crushing volume and intensity of earlier recordings, but like all folk-lore’s greatest monster stories, this beast has a quieter, more sensitive side, as single ‘friend of the night’ shows. in the words of manager alan mcgee the album "is probably the greatest art rock record that i’ve been involved in since my bloody valentine’s 'loveless'. its possibly better than 'loveless'. it is the record that they have always threatened to make. it is a shockingly good record – fucking masterpiece.""

acid food
killing all the flies
travel is dangerous
i know you are but what am i?
ithica 27-9
cody
ratts of the capital
helicon 1
2 rights make 1 wrong
we're no here
____________
folk death 95
glasgow mega/snake

3/9/2006 10:15:49 AM

they didn't play ithica. that's my fucking jam.

and mr. dmbny is right, "we're no here" brought the rock.

3/9/2006 1:01:51 PM

i had fun last night

3/9/2006 1:11:47 PM

no ithica? oops.

yeah, we're no here.

3/9/2006 8:29:41 PM

no ithica from my knowledge unless it was when i was in the bathroom. also, i sort of spaced out for a good 15 minutes, but i still doubt that i wouldn't notice my favorite mogwai song. saul goodman.

3/9/2006 9:54:05 PM

burly/miniman time tomorrow.

3/10/2006 9:00:45 AM

FUCK YEA we got Mogwai Fear Satan in asheville. i loved the last 5-6 songs they did. just perfect. and wtf was the growing. did they just pick two people at random and tell them to play around on guitars and pedals.

3/11/2006 12:14:21 AM

aha my friend in nashville called me at 1:30 am last night to tell me he just saw mogwai, cause no one else he knows has heard of them

3/11/2006 7:40:26 AM

growing was pretty sweet.
