Mogwai, radio, and guitar moves!

So now we know that Gary loves the Spanish, but did you know that Mogwai love the French? They once created a soundtrack for Zidane to play football to and now they’ve returned with ‘Les Revenants’ soundtrack to the French TV series.

The whole album is worth a listen, I think my favourite songs from it are ‘Hungry Face’ and “The Huts,’ but they weren’t on sound cloud 😦

If you sometimes kind of like listening to the radio but hate that it plays the same shit songs over and over every day then try listening to http://kexp.org radio. You can just listen to live radio through itunes or play some previous live recordings. You can also watch live perofmances on the youtube channel, Laura Marling has a recent one up which y’all prob’ a’ready s’n. I quite like this one from ‘Daughter’:

Noisey is another good youtube channel, specifically for the fantastic ‘Guitar Moves’ series in which Matt Sweeney’s interviews include demonstrations from musicians on their guitar styles and tricks. There’s 11 episodes so far including Albert Hammond Jr., (is that allowed) Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age, Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys, Jake Bugg, Leroy Troy with a really cool banjo trick, and many more…I’ll leave you with the wonderful St. Vincent.

edit: I’ll bet if Neil sees this his first comment will be, “That old guy in the first picture is so lucky getting to bang that young ginger chica” but they’re not shagging Neil cause he plays her father you sick fuck!
