I'm going to

go to the Cardiff one I think!

I'm going to

go to the Manchester one.

oh wait...

(sigh)

go to liverpool, then...

...it's, like, 35 mins on the train innit.

yeah

but that costs way too much. and then you have to get home or stay somewhere.

and I am SKINT as fuck.

hey, how about you get me free tickets and I review it for DiS?

I used to be music subeditor of my uni's magazine.

that means I am good.

Yeah, how about...

...NO!

(hahahahaha)

Crash at a Lime St photobooth. Been there, done that before.

fine

I'll go and see them and never tell ANYONE what I thought of them. No matter how much you beg.

Then you'll all be sorry.

They had the

album launch thing at the weekend and some friends went, said it wasn't really that great (the new album that is, they didn't give me marks out of ten for the party).

Hope thats not true cos I've got a soft spot for mogwai (going tone deaf to a 25min encore of MFMK at brixton a few years ago was a highlight), but can we really expect to hear them do something we've not already heard in their back catalogue? Very loud? Check. Very quiet? Check. Mixture of the two across loads of albums and ep's? Yup. Boards of canada syndrome, if you've already totally nailed it everything that follows is only going to pale in comparison.

Still, hope I'm wrong.

haha

that really does put into perspective how important music journalism really is

the only real way forward

for them would be to start writing more 'songs'.

the ones they've done in the past have all been pretty good. I think they should do an album with lots of vocals on it.

I think we all know

that its time for them to embrace the rhumba-loving side of mogwai. Maybe some P-Funk covers? Funkalicious.

from what i've heard,

there are many a vocal. but i haven't heard too much.

The Ticket Prices

Are they a total joke? I mean like one pound...

Question: Am I going to pay £20 to see mogwai?

Answer: Yes, right before monkeys fly out of my butt

Mogwai...

in "single release" shock?!

is it like, short?!? MFMK hardly qualified as a single, and I believe it was chart exempt. I know Happy songs had "normal" length songs on, but still no singles, and I know back in the day they released the odd single (I'm thinkin Tuner here, not the eps) but this is NEWS PEOPLE.

mogwai for the top 40. make it happen.

"on tonights TOTP, we've got the new james blunt single, and performances from beyonce, the black eyed peas, kubb and mogwai"

Looks like...

all the standing tickets for the Albert Hall have now sold out.

I'm hopefull gonna go

to see them in southampton..if i can find anyone to go with. no one seems to have heard of Mogwai :(

GO with

my sister. She lives in southampton and likes mogwai.

Dere ya go. It's a date.
