Possibly the best description of James Blunt i've ever seen from the extremely vitriolic mogwai (http://www.nme.com/news/mogwai/22251) :)

Yeah, it's totally because they're Scottish, isn't it? :rolleyes:
Nothing at all to do with his music being so piss-weak, ball-retractingly wanky that it makes you want to shit blood out of your eyes?
The fucking chode.
[edit] I nicked the shitting blood idiom from Brendon Burns. He's your man if you want vitriol, and he's very funny.

Anyone heard the new Mogwai album yet? Can't wait to see them live, should be beyond the level of Explosions in the sky live.

i havent seen either live, but both are amazing musicians. EITS have the best sense of melody in this post rock business, and mogwai have moved to a sublime territory of beauty and violence on mr beast, which obviously has grown on me quite a lot.
album art looks like a hentai monster just came all over the table though

I have to confess that I detest James Blunt-Changed-My-Name-From-Blount-Cos-It-Sounds-Too-Posh with such a vehemence that the Brit Awards practically made me want to run out of the house and stab someone. Anyone would have done.
And VF - chode is such an ace word! I am adding that to my vocabulary. Ta. :)

As if he wasn't appalling enough already. And I now have to hate Carrie Fisher by proxy, who apparently took him in and gave him therapy and soup. But for her we might have been spared. I know I'm being unreasonable, but I don't care.
...
Hoping for the best with the new Mogwai stuff but I've only heard Folk Death '95 which was unremarkable to say the least. They're worthing catching live though.

not wanting to stand on any part of this argument, but don't people generally start detesting bands / artists who become popular...this happened with Dido, i recall...
plenty of people like James Clunt, like plenty of people like Moldplay, then there are plenty of people who dislike them in equal amounts as well...we should just let them be really...
let them make their insipid music...just don't diss them if you're not doing well yourself, mogwai
Mogwai, at least you've heard of James Blunt...bet he's not heard of you lot...

The proud celts bit is really wanky, unless it was meant to be tongue in cheek.

Go on, Rog, starting hanging it on them in the D*rkn*ss thread again, you know you want to. :D

shut up matt. the good people at mogwai are merely objective observers of music and its varied stars. any accusation to jealousy is missing the point on their superb and astute critique of mr. blunt.
though to be fair, i thought they picked the wrong side on the whole "blur vs. oasis" debacle way back.

Mogwai also dont play top 40 style music.
no doubt Blunt will disappear within the next 2 years[hopefully sooner], but Mogwai will still be around.

they also had a second fun rant on damon albarn.. dont know if it's bitter or hilarious, but:
“I can change the world with African Music. I can turn the colour blue into sound. I can have a band with crazy animated characters. I can kick box. I can turn George Bush into a nice man with mere words. I can actually fly. I can have another previous band with such differing styles for each and every album. I am a pearly queen when I want to be.
I can write a gut wrenchingly beautiful broken heart ballad. I laugh in the face of ad hominem attack t shirts. I will try to get into theatre and musicals and I will probably succeed! I am London. I am Mali. I am Music itself. I am Damon. I am All Bran. I will prevail. You will suffer at my musical might and other numerous talents. I am Damon. I am Damon Suzuki. I am good at everything.”
