You're missing the T in the middle of Tortoise

Saw Tortoise open for Mogwai some years back, fun show, they're really interesting live.

Pre-gremlin = Mogwai. Mogwai = fuzzy ghost.

reacquire & reply.

I don't understand how some could call Dawkins "arrogant". Perhaps a misinterpretation on the part of the persecutees? When Dawkins is anything resembling "arrogant" it's usually very tongue-in-cheek, highbrow, sometimes lowbrow banter on the order of Monty Python's Life of Brian. It's hard to be constantly serious when you're dealing with people whose beliefs resemble other less savory beliefs in faeries, boogie monsters, and mogwai.

Of course, this flies right over most of their heads and thus Dawkins gets deemed to be this inhumane, fire-breathing-atheist-dickhead. Well, excuuuuuuuuuuuse me (one of them damn, dirty atheists) for pointing out the truth, Princess!

Edit: And wouldn't being merely one of God's omnipotent farts be pretty good in their book?

Mogwai and Iggy Pop ftw.

awsome thanks! i just pop up your list and i immediately see MANY of my favorite artists. Mogwai, beck, broken social scene, and radiohead right off the bat! :-) I feel we must have more in common then I realized if we have such close musical tastes!

Awwwwww.... like a little Mogwai! My old roommates had a Terrier who was my little buddy, since I worked at home and Bostons need to be around people. He was such a jumpy little wiggler!

Wow, losing your glasses must be to old people what eating after midnight is to Mogwais.

I reckon doc, that it just waits for further input as it "Looks" at the girlie. If it receives no "Good" command it looks back at the "Target(S)" for whatever "visual" confirmation it requires. Still very basic binary style command/response but the stabilising and gyro systems look ok. And a Mogwai.. lol

Hey omni, I saw them in that config during the SxSW festival back in 2000-ish, at some big venue whose name I can't remember (probably Austin Music Hall), but it was about 5 blocks from Antones (I rememebr that because Eric Johnson was playing the same night as Mogwai, but at Antones). They definitely had a lot more folks on stage with them than normal, but no idea if it was Trail of the Dead or what.

I saw them a few other times in Austin as well (although I lived in SF at the time, and now live in Seattle) so we've probably passed in the night as you say.

upvote for reminding me of mogwai.

I've seen them about 10 times now. NEVER miss Mogwai live.

Yummy! I love Mogwai!
