ATP Purchases

OK, this'll be the last post about ATP. Promise. I just wanted to share my sweet purchases with you.

The one thing I really wanted was the Mogwai / Fuck Buttons split tour EP but they didn't have any. Boooo. So I picked up Mogwai's Batcat EP and the Colours Move single from Fuck Buttons instead. Both are fantastic. Colours Move has an amazing remix of "Sweet Love For Planet Earth" by Andrew Weatherall and the Batcat EP has one of the best song titles ever: "Stupid Prick Gets Chased By The Police and Loses His Slut Girlfriend" Oh, Mogwai. How do you come up with such fantastic names?

Fuck Buttons - Sweet Love For Planet Earth (Andrew Weatherall Remix)


Mogwai - Stupid Prick Gets Chased By The Police and Loses His Slut Girlfriend


I also grabbed the only Spectrum CD available, Indian Giver which is labeled as Spectrum Meets Captain Memphis. It's pretty great but not quite as impressive as the live show.

And of course, I had to get one of the ATP hoodies. It's quickly becoming one of my favorite hoodies ever due to it's exceptional comfyness and supremely fun spin art style graphic. Just in time for winter!

Mogwai / Fuck Buttons Split EP

Fuck Buttons - Colours Move (Mogwai Remix)


Mogwai - Mogwai Fear Satan (Fuck Buttons Remix)


Not only are two of the coolest bands around touring together right now, they also recorded a split EP that they're selling only on tour and in limited quantities. Luckily for you, some dude (ie not me) put it up online for all of the free-seeking internet music nerds to download. Or maybe he just did it for those who won't be able to make it to any of the shows and just absolutely need this record. Fair enough, right?

So from what I gathered, there's no album art or anything, the CD just comes in a hand numbered sleeve. Hooray for minimalism. The EP consists of two tracks, one by each band remixing one of the other band's songs. Wait, what? Mogwai remixing Fuck Buttons and Fuck Buttons remixing Mogwai? Holy shit. Can this get any better? Yes. Yes it can. If (and only if) Fuck Buttons just happened to remix "Mogwai Fear Satan" then...well, then I would just might cream myself.

Obviously, this amazingly fantastic short but sweet EP is the crème de la crème. I can't get enough of it. My only complaint (and it is a major one) is that it's so god damn short. Come on guys. I sincerely hope this begets future collaborations cause HOT DAMN that would be the shit.

Btw, I found this via nialler9. Thanks!

Mogwai Plays Young Team Live

Ahh, how I long for Spain. Because it's been 10 years since Young Team originally came out, it's naturally being reissued. It's coming with an extra disc of cool stuff, some live tracks, and a cover of Spaceman 3's Honey. But what would a 10 year anniversary be without the obligatory live performance of said album in full? Mogwai will be playing Madrid and Barcelona on July 18th and 19th, where they will perform Young Team in it's entirety. Why can't they do that here? I mean, that's definitely worth a trip to New York for. Maybe they'll videotape it and put it out on DVD. Then again, who knows when it would come out. I'm still waiting for that Boadrum one...
