Mogwai (@mogwaiband) score their first Number 1 on the Official Albums Chart
awesome
Never had them down as a band who’d beg people to buy their album to get a number 1
they can totally pull it off because it's such an unlikely #1, it's a shared victory
Mogwai plays Atomic was polite where it should have howled, while GYBE's last tour was simply deafening
Precisely the inverse of the Sept 99 gigs lol. "Polite where it should have howled" describes that GYBE set perfectly.
i don't keep up with them that much these days
I've heard all of 2 tracks they've done since Rock Action tbh
They were one of my favorite bands in 97-98, CODY was a bit disappointing. YT sounds amazing, hiring Dave Fridmann to make a Steve Albini record was a misstep imo.

i liked ex-cowboy but it feels unfinished structurally or something. my favorite pieces of theirs were things like Summer and Katrien where Dominic leads
I liked the track with Gruff Rhys the most on Rock Action, SFA were my other fave then

three years pass...
About 2/3rds of the way through Stuart's book right now, it's.. fine, as far as these type of fucks go. Nothing really revelatory, but I actually found his early show going career list more endearing and relatable than Thurston's (for a recent comparison).
Seems like he mostly regrets coming off like such an abrasive knob in early interviews, basically it sounds like the more he mouthed off the more print they got and he was happy to feed it if it meant more coverage for the band, even if he felt conflicted about it. He also seems to regret the Blur shirt thing, not that he doesn't think Blue are shite, but rather that he thinks the timing of the shirts shot themselves in the foot a little in the long run.
