Mogwai (singer, rock, cd, cd player, genre)

I am sorry to say I haven't heard it at all - if there is some way you could make that possible for me, I'd be greatly appreciative...

Presently way too broke to consider buying a new Cd for a few months, it's a bummer!

The Hawk is Howling is to me there most solid album and best sounding/produced. Not the best. But Second.
1. Batcat
2. the climax of I love You im Goin to Blow
3. Danphe and Local Authority are so ****in sick they remind me of Hunted like a Freak and Friend of the Night

the only song I thought was lacking was The Precipice. Its like they were trudging up the mountain of Mogwai's giant sound and were to tired to reach SATAN

trace, thanks for the Mogwai hookup, appreciated it muchly! Will make sure I hear it tomorrow when I get on the laptop - I am using a keyboard plugged in toa Nintendo Wii right now post - its a bit of an odd setup, but the laptop usually gets commandeered for all sorts of duties at night, so this is my cosy little space...

I recently got Happy Songs For Happy People and I thought it was pretty bland. =\

scottsy · 01-17-2009, 10:29 PM

Happy Songs is a great album for a completely darkened house, with no one else in it...

I played it in this old fishing shack with paper thin walls a few years ago, basically turned the volume up in the living room, went to bed at about 2am, and laid in bed listening to it - it was amazing, haunting and brilliant, and one of my most memorable music listening experiences...

Pity that old shack got torn down and some fancy modern one put in its place, blah...

The BBC Sessions album is the first one thats instantly clicked with me on the first listen. I'm still trying to really appreciate the rest even though I'm liking them more and more.

I can definitely understand when people say they can't get into them or find them boring. It's a certain groove and you dig it or you don't. I'm perfectly happy with music at certain times to have an ambience rather than an attitude so for me Mogwai are damn fine. I think people sometimes look for music to blow everything else out of the water and certain bands are not trying for that. It's music for the moment and that's absolutely fine for me.

I always felt like i SHOULD like Mogwai a lot more than I actually do though. Same goes for Floyd. I like a lot of psych and a lot of post rock and when I listen to either band I can hear so much talent but it just doesnt work for me. I like both bands by the way, just not as much as I sometimes think I should.
