mogwai rule.

[somnambulist]

I love the zidane album.

YES.

Has to be my favorite. Love 7:25.

[kwsqd]

I am wet.

[Praetor]

Mr. Beast and Zidane need more love.

[IWasaCamera]

Young Team is still tops. Looking forward to the new one as well.

[kwsqd]

Rock Action I think is their best work.

[IWasaCamera]

Probably my least favorite aside from Come On Die Young.

[kwsqd]

haha weird. I like it all but I think Young Team is overrated... :shrug:

[popdisaster00]

I only have Mr. Beast and it's fucking awesome.

What's their best release?

[kwsqd]

a lot of people will say young team... I'm partial to rock action and happy songs for happy people

[IWasaCamera]

haha weird. I like it all but I think Young Team is overrated... :shrug:
Probably is but it remains my favorite.

[Praetor]

Mogwai Young Team > My Father, My King > Happy Songs For Happy People > Zidane = Mr. Beast > Rock Action > Fuck The Curfew > Come On, Die Young

I'm ashamed to say I haven't heard any other of their discog.

[kwsqd]

to each their own :beerbros:

[IWasaCamera]

Indeed.

[Foxholes]

I am listening to Young Team now, just thought you'd care.

[chipdip18]

Great song, i was moved.

[Rawrr]

Having a Mogwai marathon tonight
Young Team
Happy Songs
Mr. Beast


almost done with Young Team

[Anthony Lutz]

I want to see this band live so bad.

[tomatl]

The Sun That Smells To Loud is amazing.

[chipdip18]

I've got two of their releases now, the EP and Happy Songs for Happy People. Great band, another great rec from Vinh.

[llwilliamsll]

for as much hate i saw for the hawk is howling...it turned out to be a good album

Hmmm. If they've got it for cheap (used or scuff) I'll pick it up.

[Praetor]

No. If they've got it for $1000, with no liner notes, no case, and on a burnt cd, you'll still pick it up. Because it will still be worth every penny.

Seriously, you will fall in love with it.

[chipdip18]

Haha that qutie a bold claim. I'll see if they've got it then.

[chipdip18]

Let's get this going again. My latest obsession, Happy Songs For Happy People is soooo good. And after i get Young Team for Christmas, it's all i'll be spinning.

[KidRobot]

I've been jamming to The Hawk is Howling alot lately.

Good band.

[chipdip18]

Great band! How did you like the new album?

[Brokenhill]

I'm listening to 'Young Team' right now...

Good stuff; i'll most likely get more...I figure i'll just go in chronological order.

[KidRobot]

Great band! How did you like the new album?

I like it quite a bit.

I don't have much of anything to compare it to their past work or other post-rock since it's not something I'm knowledgeable in, but I think it's quite good.

[IWasaCamera]

New album is rather dull.

Well i would reccommend Happy Songs For Happy People next by Mogwai.

[Rawrr]

Happy Songs for Happy People is probably my second favorite Mogwai lp (next to the obvious Young Team)

[TheBaroness]

best band. They're touring here in March, I am so stoked.

[chipdip18]

Oh man i'm jealous!

[ShimmerAndSpill]

Bump.

Listening to Happy Songs for Happy People. So good.

[chipdip18]

Man i love that album.

[ShimmerAndSpill]

It's so great, I haven't listened to it in a while. Going on a long drive today so I burned myself a copy of Young Team for the trip.

[Brokenhill]

It's about time I get the next album.

[guiguedz]

Anyone else love 2 Rights Make 1 Wrong? I'm not a fan of Rock Action as a whole album, but this song is probably one of my favorites... ever.

[xapplexpiex]

I actually just got into this band today. I'm listening to Mr. Beast and The Hawk is Howling. They sound like Explosions in the Sky. I love their sound.

[HometownHero]

Someone tell me what album to start with. I want to check out more of this

[porttheman]

Going to a record store tomorrow looking for Blur and Sunny Day Real Estate so might as well pick that up as well. Thanks for the rec

You won't be dissapointed.

[HometownHero]

You won't be dissapointed.
I got it today as well as Menomena, The Clash, Bowie, X, and Blur. Successful day. And I must say the first is fucking phenomenal. Thank you all for the rec

No prob..."Tracy" is my favorite. It's possibly one of the most beautiful songs of all time, for me it's up there with "Us and Them" by Pink Floyd. And if you know me, that's saying a lot.

That is my favorite track also. And just thinking of that Pink Floyd song gives me goosebumps. Its so fantastic

[Brokenhill]

54 posts isn't enough.

I finally got another release, but it's not 'CODY'. 'Mr. Beast' is great though, i've only heard it a few times and I really like it. Having only heard 'YT' besides this, the drumming is different but I like it more.

[FullCollaspe]

Mr. Beast was the first post rock album I ever got into

[SickOfStars]

Happy Songs for Happy People is so superb, and seldom really talked about. I think I like the downtrodden, electronic Mogwai just as much as the loud, epic Mogwai... maybe more.

[jbertclassic]

We're No Here is one of my all time favorite songs.

[Brokenhill]

"The air runs out...the captain's first, so we take to memories...and layers of clothes.
Up there the family waits. Outside we heard hammers; noises sound like the end - and we will never see them."

[Brokenhill]

We're No Here is one of my all time favorite songs.

It is really good, but I don't think it's a very strong closer for the album.

[kwsqd]

New album is rather dull.
agreed.

[OldJersey]

sinkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk sinkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk drownedddd by our countryyyyyyyyy

[Srsly]

I'm sure many havealready asked this but for a fan of EITS, what album should I start off with?

[kwsqd]

This band isn't EITS, they're better. That said - start off with Happy Songs for Happy People.

[Srsly]

haha okay, mogwai was the only other post-rock band i've heard of..

[kwsqd]

that was the first album I listened to by them and still possibly my favorite.

[Brokenhill]

I'm sure many havealready asked this but for a fan of EITS, what album should I start off with?

Go for their debut, 'Young Team'.

[jbertclassic]

It is really good, but I don't think it's a very strong closer for the album.
This is one of those bands where I never actually owned the albums and unfortunately never listened to them in an album by album style.

Oh ok, why don't you just DL one?

[jbertclassic]

Oh ok, why don't you just DL one?
I guess I just never got around to it, so much music these days.
I have and love most of Mr. Beast. If I DL one, which do you rec, Young Team?

[Brokenhill]

Yea, 'Young Team' haha...I almost always push debuts for bands, and 'YT' is one of those that others also back because it is so good.

[mediocreogre]

Can't wait for the live DVD/release

[Brokenhill]

What happened after the storm? Was everyone ok?

[mattmatumbo]

Great band.

[canigetmorestee]

all of their work is great!

[Brokenhill]

Been meaning to get 'Come On Die Young' for a while now, but I've somewhat gotten out of them over the past year or so, so I haven't got around to it.

[FullCollaspe]

Tracklisting for the new DVD if you didn't know it

[cshadows2887]

So I listened to their live album and I love it. Where should I start album-wise?

[Brokenhill]

'Young Team'.

[cshadows2887]

'Young Team'.

Gracias. Will check out.

[Brokenhill]

Gracias. Will check out.

Good deal.

[Wobbie]

I still need to get this DVD. And that last Mono DVD.

[Brokenhill]

Finally purchased 'Come On Die Young'. Didn't know what to expect; listening now...very impressed so far. Hopefully this will revitalize my overall interest/care for Mogwai.

[Brokenhill]
