Mogwai - Happy Songs For Happy People (2003)


This is the album that got me into Mogwai, and I still think it's the best stuff they've done so far. "Kids Will Be Skeletons" is one of my all time favorite jams. One of my first jobs ever was as a clerk in a garden center outside a grocery store. The owner of the store made us always have a Beach Boys greatest hits album playing on constant rotation, and I hated it. If you told me then that The Beach Boys would eventually be my favorite band ever I would have laughed. Anyways, one day I decided to be a defiant asshole and put this album on and I never saw the garden center clear out so fast in the entire summer I worked there. The next day I got in trouble with the owner who said there were multiple complaints about some "weird unbearable noise" in the garden center. For the remainder of the summer he would check up on me at least 3 times a shift to make sure I still had The Beach Boys cd playing.
