Remember last week when I was all like: Mogwai keep making new albums and touring like the good stouthearted, stifflipped British lads they are? And I told you about their new album, Rave Tapes, coming out in January and some tour dates in Europe and all that junk?
And then I felt all stupid when you guys pointed out that they were, sorta, you know, technically Scottish and not British???
Well, now it turns out that we were BOTH wrong! Yeah. Seriously. Mogwai have just taken to the internet to announce that they’re actually… North American. Yup. No kidding. I’m sure of it. I just read all this stuff that their PR people sent me about all the time they plan on spending in the US and Canada and stuff next spring after their European tour is finished. They’re even celebrating their homecoming by playing a bunch of shows that tickets go on sale for this weekend. What’s more American than that? Case closed. I’m going home for the day.
For real, though, there’s no reason to even double-check that shit. Besides, none of this bullshit happens ‘til next year anyway, so there’s plenty of time to suss it all out… IF I’m mistaken… which I’M FUCKING NOT.
