has anybody else bought this? as mentioned on Bright Light!, Volume 13 of this DVD-R series features a segment on Mogwai (as well as Mono, Mouse on Mars, and Papa M). i'd definitely recommend ordering this bad boy. the Mogwai portion is a 21 min interview with Stuart and Dom interspersed with live concert footage of the US HS4HP tour. there are song clips from Yes! I Am A Long Way, Ithica, You Don't Know Jesus, Stop Coming To My House, 2 Rights, and Hunted By A Freak. the cool thing is that there is a bonus post-interview footage of an entire 17 min performance of My Father My King. so the actual 'Gwai segment is a little under 40 mins. definitely worth the money since the DVD already has Mono footage as well. it certainly is something to tide us over until the official DVD is released.

you're right. if you're short on cash you can download it. BUT, i definitely think it's worth buying and watching on a TV. 40 min of Mogwai (plus another 20 of Mono) for $17 isn't that bad. (jeez, i just realized i sound like street teamer. )

Mine arrived the other day and damn fine it is too. Top banter as usual from Stuart and Dominic and good clips. I wish it had been Fear Satan as a whole live track at the end rather than MFMK though...
Every time I hear Mono I want to cry though. Go out and write something original for God's sake!!! What a fucking rip off they are... 2nd only on the Mogwai front to Pilate who really are taking the piss big time.
Rant over!

Rant over! i'll have to agree with you on Mono. while i do like the band, i totally hear traces of Mogwai (amongst other bands) in their music. when i saw them play live last month, i realized i was just hearing alternative versions of Helicon 1, Superheroes of BMX, Christmas Song, and Mogwai Fear Satan.

You cant be serious?!? While the 'Gwai remain Earth's #1 band, Mono is a fucking awesome group that resembles Mogwai no more than Nirvana resembles Pearl Jam. Ofcourse there are elements of Mogwai's music in Mono's - I'm sure they're big fans just like us - but they have their own edge happening and I really dont think it can be compared to Mogwai when all is said and done. This is why people consider "post-rock" a pretentious genre. If a band sounds even a smidge like another band than its fucking plaigirism to the fullest and the band sucks and should be forgotten about. Ridiculous. Mono is excellent.

Mono is excellent. fair enough. like i said, i do like Mono. i guess i'm just a little biased and like Mogwai more.

just sayin that why pay cash when you have it online? and it's legal. because the normally-fantastic quality releases on the Brainwashed label help pay for the bandwidth required to keep the site (and all its video and audio content) online.
