It's been a full quarter-century since Scottish post-rockers Mogwai launched their iconic "Blur: Are Shite" t-shirts at 1999's T In The Park Festival in Glasgow, taking direct aim at the popular Brit-poppers.
"We decided to proclaim our dislike of one of the weakest bands on the planet by putting out these shirts," band frontman Stuart Braithwaite told NME. "The thing about the shirt is it’s like a dictionary definition. Blur: Are Shite. It’s factual, and if there’s any legal problems about it I’ll go to court as someone who has studied music so I can prove they are shite.”
