Det tog inte lång tid från det att det gamla britpop-bandet Blur annonserade att de skulle återförenas till det att det skotska post-rock-bandet Mogwai reagerade. På slutet av 90-talet hade nämligen bandmedlemmarna i Mogwai en liten beef med Blur, eftersom post-rockarna ansåg att det var en lysande idé att springa runt i t-shirts som pryddes av texten ”Blur: are shite”.
Mogwai hade det här att säga om Blurs stundande återförening:
“Anyone fancy a ‘Blur: Are Shite Once Again’ T-Shirt? It seeeeeems as if the seminal britpop band called Blur want to get back together again to make astounding new music. This could have catastrophic effects on our youth and middle-aged citizens. As the world’s 4th biggest economy, Blur’s surprise re-union could have destabilizing ramifications which are too legion to be properly explained here. Only Patrick David Xavier McMeneman-McHanarahan, our specialist re-union specialist, can even start to describe the disastrous potency of this formative party’s re-grouping on the world’s already dangerous pre-apocalyptic position. Their imperial designs know no bounds and we will have to use all of our vigor and guile to disperse this potential doomsday-making scenario else we sprint toward a life-ending britalocalypse.”
