I'm 50 , I have seen mogwai LIVE several times, and if I'm being honest... there's not much better at delivering a live performance! Every fuckin time they out perform themselves from the last time.❤
Having discovered just how very special ‘Buzzcocks’ were 2 years ago now, I know inexcusable, I now find ‘Mogwai’ in the line of sight . Talk about blessings ☺️
Mogwai songs are not just something I listen to. I go to these songs. When I needed spiritual guidance from the higher power. It connects me with that. Makes me feel alive. I think it also heals me. It is my meditation.
First heard mogwai on a free cd in 1998 given away by metal hammer 2 rights 1 wrong was the song. Have been listening since. Very talented musicians and good people. 👌👍🍀
Can anyone tell me please the name of this track please? Ive got most of mogwais albums but theyre currently in storage...I really wanna hear this track on repeat for a while but cant remember the name of it or which album...many thanks...and especially to Mogwai themselves..
this song reminds of glastonbury 97, sunday night at the second stage, when life still felt bright and summer lasted for ever, and my lsd soaked brain flew away in to a timeless bubble where this song lasted a lifetime and all my friends laying on the ground around me, looking up at the stars and feeling that these where the moments that made a life lived.
"Catastrophicism" What goes down mustn't've transpired without cognition. Kata (down) strophē (turning) The center.. a source from which all life sprung. Away as in from until toward is achieved. Awareness, unefforted symmetry in space, in chaos. Precipice inverts the miraculous. Diety (god), devil (accuser, slanderer). What crime does this implicate? Sin. Without sin you will still be tried and tried and tried until you can't or won't, don't is only a matter of time and shouldn't is pride before the fall. Slander? Why? Accusation of sin? For moral obligation? How else would man refrain from clawing its way back into the primordial ooze? Fear? Bearing a resemblance. Enlightenment. I will make my own peace. I will go to peace with war. I will go to war with peace. ,dan'
“‘Ritchie Sacramento’’s title came from a misunderstanding a friend of ours had about how to say Ryuichi Sakamoto. The lyrics were inspired by a story Bob Nastanovich shared about his friend and bandmate David Berman who proclaimed ‘Rise Crystal Spear’ as he threw a shovel at a sports car. The song is dedicated to all the musician friends we’ve lost over the years.” - Stuart Braithwaite Quote from Pitchforks article "Mogwai Share Video for New Song “Ritchie Sacramento”: Watch", 21 January 2021 In memory of Ryuichi Sakamoto and all musicians we have lost.
"The Pridefighter Furnace" The gloves are on, our champion is eying his opponent; a spitting image of our man as he was long ago. His only edge was cutting, knowing he'd seize every moment striking hard and often till the iron starts to glow. Certain of his bandwidth being moonlight next to sunshine he had a suit and coffin tailor-made the week before. Turns out he was right and in the second got the punchline; what's an extra zero but another one no more? ,dan'
Love the song. I do really wonder how much, if at all, this video was inspired by the opening credits to "Paranoia Agent" because the similarities are unreal.
"...if the stars had a sound it would sound like this. The punishment for these solemn words can be hard. Can blood boil like this at the sound of a noisy tape that I've heard. I know one thing. On Saturday, the sky will crumble together (or something) with a huge bang to fit into the cave."
