indeed, mogwai is the loudest band in the earth.
i made a last minute decision to see them live at the fillmore. i missed half of the openning band isis but they were great. isis made the hair on my arms stand up straight. mogwai made me feel like i was floating. great show.
i did nothing today and it was going to be a complete waste a friend of mine encouraged me to go to the show by myself. i don't care all i needed was a little booze and a spot in somwhere near the front of the stage and then i felt good.
did i mention that ween is this friday? probably not.

Kind of an aquired taste, Arab Strap, but I like some of their stuff - kind of like Trainspotting stories set to Mogwai's music. The musician guy in the band, Malcolm Middleton did a cool album last year dressed as Crappo The Clown.
You should try out Dawn Of The Replicants in your search engine. They had a couple of albums in the late 90s on eastwest and an album last year on an Indie label. The Belfast DJ, David Holmes, did a really cool remix of their song 'Skullcrusher' that I'm hoping to track down again (borrowed by a friend I lost touch with).
"i like belle & sebastian a lot. the country teasers are amazing. i can't think of any of the other scot bands i like."
Not that mad on Belle and Sebastian. I think they're a little bit twee. But The Delgados are cool. They're the band who own Chemikal Underground records in Glasgow, which put out Arab Strap, Mogwai and Bis.
You probably heard The Beta Band on the 'High Fidelity' soundtrack (the band John Cusack said he could sell 5 copies of in that scene in the shop). I think they're mostly a Scottish band.
Ooops. Sorry for hijacking your journal, mutal. Guess I thought I was on the message board there. Think I'll start a Scottish Bands thread tomorrow.
They play here the 29th & 30th. Ween that is, not Mogwai.
