Mogwai are one of those instrumental rock bands and so were this band called The Heads who warmed up for Mudhoney at Koko. Or The **** Heads as we called them at the time, ho, ho!
I don’t really wish to be so insulting. I just don’t really get instrumental rock. I mean, even if the voice is purely used as ‘a sound’, surely this would work better than no vocals at all?! I don’t get it. It becomes tiresome and you are expecting a crescendo but you get nothing.
When heavy rock is being played with really heavy bass you need some sort of animalistic screetching to get you through it.
Add some vocals, you know it makes sense!

You're so real
Being a down to earth Northern girl I was not really taken aback too much when one day a disco-ball-round-the-neck clad, carrier bag accessorising fashion kid turned around and told me I was ‘SOOOO real’.
I could have questioned what he meant but I knew what he was talking about. I suspect it was something to do with the fact that I didn’t tolerate his incessant ramblings about fashion, fashion designers, fashion houses, fashion shows, fashion, fashion, fashion!!! Also he knew I saw his disco ball wearing for what it was. A load of shiny disco-ballocks!! Not to put a too finer point on it.
