So I considered posting a list of some of my favorite Christmas songs this week and while that sounds nice and fun and all, I decided that I'd be better sharing the next best thing: a semi-relevant video of Mogwai playing a song of theirs, "Christmas Steps", live.
It's really old, yet no doubt one of the better songs they've written. I recently got to see them play this song on their last tour, which I imagine is quite a rare thing since it came out on "Come On Die Young" in 1999 and I'm pretty sure that they tend to stick to playing mostly newer stuff on the road. Definitely one of the best songs I've ever seen, though I'm not really sure if it has anything to do with Christmas because, well, Mogwai doesn't exactly articulate these things in their music. Whatever the case, it's quite moving but since the video may not completely do it justice, you might want to find a download of it elsewhere.
Sorry, it was cheesey, cheery Christmas music or Mogwai playing their brand of Scottish, prog-inspired post-rock, really loud and really hard. I hope some of you enjoy the video half as much as I do.
