hi there, whoever made that point about mogwai records, despite what weejay said, is right, in my case and in the case of lots of people i know, too. while 'young team' and 'ten rapid' are, in my opinion, brilliantly crafted pieces of music, i've never sat and mediated intently on the stuff. mogwai have been for me going-to-sleep music or cleaning-my-room music or on one lovely occasion kissing music. arab strap, same thing, i have yet to get into their record (and i have yet to do that last thing to a.s., looking forward to that). mogwai live, on the other hand, are even more powerful and breathtaking than they are on record... because of this i feel justified to name-check, hey. but name-checking is just silly anyway, so i try not to do it too often. sorry for my pointless posts today, i am at work and don't feel like doing what i'm supposed to. weejay, good luck at uni and smile a little. cheers, stasia anastasia signoretta atlantic records international media relations 1290 avenue of the americas 24th floor new york, ny 10104 212.707.2619 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 'but how can i see stars if my feet are on the ground?' ride ------------- Original Text

From "J Errington" <james@twopounds.u-net.com>, on 9/25/98 1:54 PM: I know the last mail was supposed to be my last for a time but I had to get a word in (as ever) but the duke said: Longevity; much as i like Arab Strap and Mogwai, i think the idea that they'll be of lasting significance in comparison to B&S is twaddle. Young Team was a good record but hardly made great progress from the stuff on the compilation, i forget it's name. They are, i feel, a band that many people name check, and say they love, but whose records these people will rarely actually play. i should know, i've been kind of guilty. Well, I'd like to disagree please. As much as I doubt it as a stance I would defend I listen to my mogwai stuff more than I listen to B&S. Or about the same at least. In fact, I'd say the most listened-to CD I own is 'Kicking A Dead Pig.' I listen to the 'Strap less frequently, but a reasonable amount.

Anyway, this has to be bye this time. I've got to move to Southampton.
