Why Mogwai Blow

According to the All Music Guide, Mogwai formed, "with the goal of creating "serious guitar music." I listened to one of their recent albums to see what it is they think they have over Keith. The truth is: nothing.

Take one of their recent albums Mr. Beast for example. here's my song by song take:

Autorock - it builds relentlessy but never gets anywhere. Pure wankery. Its not awful, simply banal.

Glasgow Megasnake: repetitive, simplistic chord slamming we've heard 1000 boring times before. Again it builds and then simply ends. Not much going on here.

Acid Food - Hey, there's lyrics. But let's just say the lyricist is no Mick Jagger.

That's it. I'm bored. If the first 3 songs on an album, suck, the odds are so do the rest.

Mogwai: cmon back and tell us how great you are after you have written a Satisfaction, a Jumping Jack Flash, or a Brown Sugar (to underscore some hot Keith riffs).

Try to write something interesting Mogwai. Those wall of sound simplistic repetitive guitar chords don't cut it dudes.

Rock on Keef!

They cannot be trusted with power. They are beyond the mainstream of any truly American politics.

ABC IS Dutybound To Reveal Those Sources - That Is News In And Of Itself

Great work Glenn -- holding the media whores accountable for their biased and false coverage and their own complicity in propagandizing our country.

Who were those 4 "independently" lying sources, ABC?

Are any of them government officials? Neocons?

What was their motive for lying?

How often do you get burned by four independent sources on one story?

Were the working together? For whom?

Transparent B.S.

What is it with this absurd, "they want to follow us home" bullshit?

Are we supposed to believe that al-Qaeda can't find the USA on their own right now so they're just waiting for us to go home so they can follow us back?

Is there anyone dumb enough to believe that?

I think al-Qaeda can find the U.S. if they want to. I think if they had an operation they could pull off in the U.S. right now that they wanted to pull off, I don't see how us being in Iraq is stopping them.

What, they're so strapped they can't spare 10-15 or guys?

Message To Schneider

You reported that you had 4 sources for your anthrax claims. At most you retracted one source, the White House, although as Greenwald demonstrated you had been reporting their disagreement with your sources all along.

WHO WERE THESE FOUR SOURCES WHO BURNED YOU SO BADLY?

Why don't you reveal them instead of covering for them?

Also, if you all were truly journalists, you might just want to look into whether or not your getting burned by 4 sources is a story in itself. I mean how often do you get burned by 4 different sources on the same story? That has to be a pretty rare occurrence I would think. Were they working together? Was this an orchestrated disinofrmation campaign? Who was behind it?

Hahahahaha. Dude, you and the rest of the ABC media whores have just been totally punked by Glenn Greenwald. He has just spanked you in a way that would embarrass anyone but an arrogant media whore.

Burned By 4 Different Well-Placed Sources???????

Sounds mighty suspicious. In fact, it sounds like an organized disinformation campaign. Now who would do something like that? I wonder...

If only we could pass this scoop on to some journalists, maybe they would investigate and find out who was behind this conspiracy to burn ABC and propagandize the American people! If only some journalists knew! Boy those conspirators would be in trouble then.
