LISTENING TO...

Glasgow bands, of course.

The mighty Mogwai and their braw wee new CD Happy Songs for Happy People is on my mini-disc player. Nine tunes to hum along to and marvel at. Mogwai, masters of the loud-soft dynamic, bring home the bacon and knock the spots off all other leading b(r)ands. Mogwai hates hippies.

Meanwhile, moody mulletts Arab Strap lay down dreary songs with dodgy lyrics about girlfriends, boyfriends, sex and drugs and where with all. New album Monday at the Hug & Pint.

Also on the Chemikal Underground label are new boys Kempston, Protek and Fuller, who'll gladly do your conveyancing too. On disc they mix up electronic noise and plinking beats topped of with LSD laced lemon rind. Music to eat your sandwiches by. (Not really sure if these guys are from Glasgow, but as its a Glasgow label, that'll do for me.)
