"A glass of whisky in Scotland in the thirties cost less than a cup of tea."

This show was all about the wee country of Scotland (wee geographically, not in heart, or... other areas, according to rumour.) It turns out they've mostly perfected strongly emotional rock and roll with an underlying melody catchy enough to keep you from getting too sad.

This week's homework was to go listen to some Mogwai. Here's the trip-tacular track "The Sun Smells Too Loud" from their latest album"The Hawk is Howling" to get you started (or restarted). I, for one, have been away from these guys for far too long. (Unnecessary note: the people in the video are not Mogwai.)
