"Mogwai Fear Satan"/Mogwai

So Bri-ness, Chelle, our friend Tad and I went to see this movie last night. First off...it was amazing. I am extremely biased because I am a geek and love this sort of crap. But during some of those epic battle scenes that they have going on I began to think about this song by Mogwai. I have alot of associations with this song, but I still believe that it could be set against a 20 minute battle and it would fit perfectly. Ups and downs. Climaxes and slopes. It is the perfect epic battle song.

As I write this I am beginning to think of all the Scottish bands that have become popular over the last 10 years. I mean, were there any popular Scottish bands in the eighties? In the 90's and "ots" you have "Belle and Sebastian", "Mogwai", "McClusky, "Travis", and I'm sure a bunch I'm forgetting. Can we count Interpol? Or are they going more for the London Soho look. Let's see if we can think of a few, shall we? It would be like an epic adventure full of good, evil, and even the smallest of people can change the course of time...
