VIDEO: Mogwai - Mexican Grand Prix

I do really like the new Mogwai album; hopefully there will be soem depths to it that will take soem time to reveal themselves and the motorik rock of the tracks like this, George Square Thatcher Death Party and San Pedro will not only be briefly enjoyably then wither away. This slight tweak to their sound is good; it's subtle, it's a band travelling untrammelled along their own path experimenting in their own godo time. Seen a few posts around ther web on the idea of bands not being allowed to take time to develop - luckily this one are.

FFFF: Pissed Jeans - Sam Kinison Woman

Hello Friday; here's your Fast and Furious Feature. Brace yourself, cos this one's got a bite on it.  Have Pissed Jeans always sounded this much like Wire and Mission of Burma, or is it an influenced they've just slipped roofie-like into this single shot of burning-eyed cold-shouldered hard edge that's comin' swingin' for ya.  The single is out on SubPop any time soon.  Here's what they say about the track themselves:

"Pissed Jeans, Allentown, PA’s not least favorite sons recently recorded two new songs, unassociated with nor otherwise promotionally leading up to any upcoming full-length album they have yet to record. These are just two exceptionally great new Pissed Jeans songs. They are called “Sam Kinison Woman” and “The L Word,” and were recorded for this 7" single. That’s it and that’s enough."
