Scottish Guitar Army

I've seen Mogwai a half-dozen times and Thursday night at Terminal 5 was definitely the best show I've seen them put on. How can it not be when the setlist includes Like Herod, New Paths To Helicon, AND Mogwai Fear Satan? From my position in the second balcony, the band seemed to be enjoying themselves, swigging beer and making faces at each other. Somehow that makes their titanic noise all the more bracing, seeing such unexceptional dudes create such a mind-blowing ruckus.
