Mogwai bitch, more

Mogwai have reopened their feud with Damon Albarn on their website, with guitarist Barry Burns writing a spoof message from Albarn.

Well, it gets you press I suppose. The Mogwai boys have been back on their website bitching about - well - more or less everything and everyone. This time they've re-opened a feud with Damon Albarn (the band were known to wear 'Blur: Are Shite' t-shirts back in the day).

Writing as a spoof message from Damon, Mogwai's Barry Burns writes: "I can change the world with African Music. I can turn the colour blue into sound. I can have a band with crazy animated characters. I can kick box. I can turn George Bush into a nice man with mere words. I can actually fly. I can have another previous band with such differing styles for each and every album. I am a pearly queen when I want to be. I can write a gut wrenchingly beautiful broken heart ballad. I laugh in the face of ad hominem attack t shirts. I will try to get into theatre and musicals and I will probably succeed! I am London. I am Mali. I am Music itself. I am Damon. I am All Bran. I will prevail. You will suffer at my musical might and other numerous talents. I am Damon. I am Damon Suzuki. I am good at everything."

Do you know, I think I'm going off Mogwai a bit. I don't think we should plug their album any more. So we won't.
