Why does mogwai hate blur

I heard they have Beck on the new album. That just about settles it. Kinda funny, but what is with this dude? Whats this dudes problem? I have always heard that these guys were real pricks, but to be honest, I tend to agree with his ideas now that I can see them expressed explicitly.

Two big thumbs up I just thought it was an interesting and humorous read. Any pictures of his pedalboard? Maybe one day Fugazi will show up to give them a severe ass-whoopin'!

This conspicuous lack of pretension all Blur-hating diatribes aside speaks to a camaraderie and resilience—and to a palpable confidence both in themselves and their music—that, along with shit tons of hard work and plain luck, form the foundation of their longevity.

Meat, Plasmatron, Bionic ; and Mogwai love comics—bassist Dominic Atchison claims that Braithwaite buys 10 new Batman comics every month and the band once printed a bunch of t-shirts with "Mogwai" squeezed into the Batman logo.

When a Sunday Herald journalist traveling with Mogwai in Iceland in asked the band to tell him—"as a gang"—some of their favorite things, their list included cats, robots, the Godfather films, Evil Dead II , "slagging folk off", and Irn-Bru, a revolting, neon-orange fizzy drink the Scots sometime use as a hangover cure—which likely came in handy that day: Stuart had been out boozing the previous night, locked himself out of his hotel room, and woke up the Herald journalist at in the morning to help him out.

Despite their notoriously cantankerous nature, songs like Take Me Somewhere Nice and Dial: Revenge are disarmingly pretty. The potential for big-budget overindulgence looms large, but with their masterpiece clocking in at just 48 minutes, Mogwai know better than to overstay their welcome.
