MP3: Mogwai - I’m Jim Morrison, I’m Dead (Live)

Last night marked my fourth live encounter with the Scottish grandfathers of post-rock. Each time I’ve seen Mogwai, I’ve been amazed, flabbergasted & downright floored. Monday’s Brooklyn gig provided more of the same brilliance. In fact, it may just have been the strongest of the bunch (standing mere inches from mastermind, Stuart Braithwaite, surely didn’t hurt matters whatsoever). Drawing from each of their stellar releases (with the exclusion of 1999’s Come On Die Young), Mogwai’s (extensively loud) two-hour set was damn near perfect. View all dates on their current North American trek here. Mogwai will make an appearance at APW Festival 2009 in August.

In December, Mogwai reacted to Blur’s reunion.

MP3: Mogwai - The Sun Smells Too Loud

Priceless! The band’s official statement reads: *Anyone fancy a “Blur: Are Shite Once Again” T-Shirt? (Read the following in a General Crozier style Metalocalypse voice, to yourself obviously. If you don’t know what Metalocalypse is, then it’s your own fault and this will be even less funny than it already is) It seeeeeems as if the seminal britpop band called Blur want to get back together again to make astounding new music. This could have catastrophic effects on our youth and middle-aged citizens. As the world’s 4th biggest economy, Blur’s surprise reunion could have destabilizing ramifications…* Read the full blog entry here. MP3 at bottom.
