Özet
 Born the son of Scotland's last telescope-maker, Stuart Braithwaite was perhaps always destined for a life of psychedelic adventuring on the furthest frontiers of noise in MOGWAI, one of the best loved and most ground-breaking post-rock bands of the past three decades.

Modestly delinquent at school, Stuart developed an early appetite for 'alternative' music in what might arguably be described as its halcyon days, the late '80s. Discovering bands like Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine, and Jesus and Mary Chain, and attending seminal gigs (often incongruously incognito as a young girl with long hair to compensate for his babyface features) by The Cure and Nirvana, Stuart compensated for his indifference to school work with a dedication to rock and roll . . . and of course the fledgling hedonism that comes with it.

Spaceships Over Glasgow is a love song to live rock and roll; to the passionate abandon we've all felt in the crowd (and some of us, if lucky enough, from the stage) at a truly incendiary gig. It is also the story of a life lived on the edge; of the high-times and hazardous pit-stops of international touring with a band of misfits and miscreants.

This unabridged audio download, narrated by the author, features an audiobook exclusive interview with author and screenwriter John Niven. Entertainment & Celebrities Music Şöhret

So, Mogwai's music has been huge in my life and mindscape for many years... I don't assume to know Stuart or the band through the media, or my deep connection to the music (or to need need to, to love the music).. This account is warm, honest, at points hilarious and tender, and sometimes brutal. The fear with reading autobiography is discovering disagreement or dislike: not this. I come away from a hugely enjoyable listen/read with feeling respect and admiration for Stuart and the band. Good and decent guy, good people, great story, good humour, fine principles, beautiful music.

Banging. Made me feel nostalgic for times past and want to listen to new music and experience new things (maybe not drugs though) and I can’t recommend it enough.
Start a list, as you will no doubt discover some great bands listening to Stuart’s anecdotes.

Best music memoir I’ve read in years.

'most' (not all but most) music biographies are only interesting to fans of the music and as a huge fan i loved it.

for the mogwai fans out there

Let me start by saying Mogwai passed me by somehow and I never really got into them.
Yet, I enjoyed this book as it’s a funny and relatable story of a music obsessive who frequented my favourite spots in and around Glasgow. It helps that I love a lot of the bands that he tours with and talks about and I was pleased to read of his bands success. There were many tales of getting ‘mortal’ and ‘out ma ghourd’ but they were told with honesty and didn’t sound like a rock n roll cliche.
I’m away to do my homework now and listen to Mogwai.

Have recommended this book to my friends.
