MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Just trying to knock together a mix cd for a couple of mates, just wondering what else to put on it or what to take off... ended up with:
Cody
Hunted By a Freak
New Paths to Helicon (1)
Emergency Trap
Glasgow Mega Snake
We're No Here
Mogwai Fear Satan (the live one off of the rerelease)
Batcat
Friend of the Night
You Don't Know Jesus
I'm Jim Morrison, I'm Dead
Any obvious omissions there? Trouble is I don't know half the song titles so I can't always find the ones I like 🙄 Don't actually like Hunted by a Freak that much but it seems like it should be on there.
Christmas Steps (the CODY version)
I love you, I'm going to blow up your school
Superheroes of BMX, Stanley Kubrick & Burn Girl Prom Queen (all from EP+6)
Like Herod
Why a live version of Fear Satan?
Andy
No!
Listen to the albums as a whole, it's often the only way the individual songs make sense.
Check [url= http://www.archive.org/details/Mogwai ]here[/url] for some fan-recorded live sets. Any where they do the extended versions of 2 Rights is worth listening to, loud.
I'd open with 'Yes! I am a long way from home' and throw in '2 rights' if you have the space.
Either that or just lend them 'Special Moves'.
Ooh, good shout on 2 Rights, I'll sort that, not sure how I missed it. Wasn't that impressed with Special Tracks myself, but I'll spin it again and see if it makes a better impression.
"Why a live version of Fear Satan?"
Because it's about 2/3ds as long mainly... 
Though it's a damn good version. If I had the space I'd play it out with the album version though.
"Listen to the albums as a whole, it's often the only way the individual songs make sense."
See... I reckon an awful lot of Mogwai is basically horrible rubbish 😆 It's like Tom Waits, you put the CD on for the good tracks but end up listening to a mad drunk shouting down a well while hitting random notes on an out of tune piano with his face. For every Fear Satan there's a Stereodee...
Cheers folks!
I've only been listening to the CODY album.
What album next?

Young Team IMO. Or Government Commissions.
