Mogwai and Rat:Att:Agg trade words over MySpace

Mogwai's Stuart Braithwaite has criticised Rat:Att:Agg on MySpace, and the band's Rory Aggwelt has hit back, mocking Mogwai's songwriting.

Well, Mogwai's Stuart Braithwaite is never afraid to speak his mind, and his latest rantings have caused something of a feud between his band and the new outfit from former Test Icicles member Rory Aggwelt - Rat:Att:Agg.

Braithwaite went onto the band's MySpace and wrote the following (the misplaced lower case 'i's are his): "Guys, seriously what the fuck is going on here? I keep hearing your song on MTV2 at night and i'm confused. is it a JOKE? I know i'm getting old but am i missing something? Is there an existential element that i don't get? I like the guitarists clothes but the singer needs medical help. Is it a pastiche on bob the builder? I think it is but the thought scares me".

Responding, Rat:Att:Agg have posted a bulletin as follows (also lacking certain capital letters): "that's pretty funny, I used to like mogwai, I bought 10 Rapid when I was 15 and saw them play shit loads of times (saw them supporting pavement once which was amazing) it's just a shame they continued to write the same song over and over again for the next 10 years. Cheers Stuart, I'm glad we confused you, I think you need it".
