Mogwai take offence at NME review

Mogwai's Barry Burns has sarcastically criticised an NME review of their single 'Friend Of The Night' in a post on the band's website.

Mogwai's Barry Burns has posted a message on the group's official website indicating that he and his bandmates are less than pleased by the NME review of latest single 'Friend Of The Night'; in a sarcastic way, of course.

Burns writes: "NME, the relevant newspaper for serious music fans. News: we are as ground breaking as Snow Patrol according to the NME. Cool. Roll on the millions of pounds. The worried look on my face as the NME gives us a less than favourable single review is quite a picture. Literally hundreds of people now have a negative impression of our new hit single before it's even out yet. How can we win in this situation? Damn it!"
