No, "Christmas Song" on the EP is a totally different song from both the -No Education- and -Come On Die Young- versions of "xmas steps". But yes, the two versions of that song do sound different. np:Bardo Pond, "Aldrin" -- ...extensive liner notes and make-believe alien languages... Rev.

Well, you haven't offended me. I am fully aware that a lot of the music I listen to is stuff that only appeals to a very small percentage of the population. I'm never surprised or upset or offended when someone dislikes certain bands I like; I'm surprised when someone DOES like them. From: "Matt Evanosky" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > its ok, but honestly, how can you remix low? > the beauty of low is the sheer simplicity of the sounds. Well, if you've heard it as you say, then you know the answer. None of the artists strictly "remixed" Low, they simply used bits of Low to create new songs. > the mogwai remix records are great because of the varied approaches to their > songs..i mean come on, hood ,3rd eye foundation, alec empire, arab strap , > all remixing yr record, one could do much worse... Well, I could say the exact same thing about the Low remix album. Neotropic, Tranquility Bass, DJ Vadim, Porter Ricks... it's pretty varied. > p.s. anyone remember adventures of pete and pete? pete is on those > ameritrade commersh and he's cool.. That was a great show. Pete needs to get more work than just commercials. My favorites were the one with Juliana Hatfield as a lunch lady and the one where Gordon Gano was a teacher.

Honestly, I could care less how an album comes to be made or who wants their name on it; all that concerns me is how it sounds, and -owL remix Low- sounds very, very good to me. I mean, Steve Albini has removed his production credit from the Pixies' -Surfer Rosa- and says he wishes he never did it. Does that make it a bad album? np:Him, "Cereality" -- Your pal, Rev.

If you like it, > you like it, if you don't, you don't, and who cares anyway? Wow, that was hostile...I have 'tried' to like them because 2 or 3 of my firends, who listen to most of the same music I do, like them and play them all the time and whether I want to or not, I am exposed to Mogwai. So maybe 'tried' is the wrong word. I "approached Mogwai with a positive attitude". On several listenes. And I just cringe. > what to tell you... maybe Mogwai isn't the band for you. How about > wasting yr time talking about the bands you DO like rather than asking > why you don't "get" a band yr "supposed" to? Oh, I don't know...just trying to fit in with all you other 'hipsters'... obviously, I've offended Mogwai fans. oops... Karina

[MMouse]: mogwai=the now sound
anyone here with more than two brain cells, pls step forward ok, thanks... the mogwai is not only the second most vital band in music today, first being the n*sync/backstreet collective, they are the future of music the mogwai is a great deal more than quiet/loud/really quiet/really loud/extremely quiet/too f-ing loud, they actually are traders in sound and noise...this brings up the noise for noise's sake argument, but hey... kicking a dead pig/mogwai fear satan is w/o a doubt the best collection of remixes available today... come on die young, kicks my ass with the force of 10 horses. do you know what i am talking about? can you afford to do any less? emo isn't everything mattnice

And I usually LIKE boring noise complimented by quiet stuff, but >> they're just...yucky. Ugh... 1- Why have you "tried" to like them? Do you feel that yr status as a hipster kid up on the latest indie ticket requires to to "try" and like all those bands yr "supposed" to? Have you, similarly, "tried" to like Merzbow, the Boredoms, Neutral Milk Hotel, and Godspeed You Black Emperor!? Why should anyone ever "try" and like music? If you like it, you like it, if you don't, you don't, and who cares anyway? 2- That being said, what of theirs have you heard? -Come On Die Young- is actually very different from their previous work, and is anything but "boring noise complimented by quiet stuff" in the Slint vein. It reminds me more of Labradford or GYBE! with maybe some hints of Low or Rex thrown in there. If you can't, at least, appreciate the bliss-out supernova of potential energy that is "Ex-Cowboy", then I don't know what to tell you... maybe Mogwai isn't the band for you. How about wasting yr time talking about the bands you DO like rather than asking why you don't "get" a band yr "supposed" to? Your pal, Rev.
