The instrumental Scottish post-rock outfit planted themselves at the Music Hall of Williamsburg this week for a three-night run. While the venue was small for the once Terminal 5 headlining band, the intimacy was to set the scene for a movie they were filming throughout the run. The band explained away their wearing the same clothes each night, for the sake of consistency, but made no apologies for the ear-splitting sets each night. The smaller room created an interesting dynamic for the audience. While the band is almost impossibly loud, the sound still feels very minimalist, and the occasional chatter from the crowd proved to be surprisingly distracting despite the volume coming off the stage. Mogwai seems to have a broad range of fans, and while most of them were able to co-exist, the chatty few put a damper on an otherwise impressive run.

With all that went down this week, we thought we thought we'd cheer everyone up by giving everyone a double dose of dogs.

We don't know about where you are, but it seems like spring can't decide whether or not to happen. Some days are warm, some days are cold, and sometimes you aren't sure which. Baseball may have started up (and soccer/football winding down) but it still seems cold out there. Unless it's not. Anyways, onto the -ists.

As fall settles in and another calendar page gets turned, thoughts turn from bbq's and vacations to holidays and the realization that '06 is coming to an end. With all that going on, with change in the air, we wonder what is it that made that makes the -ists ponder?

As we sat down to write this week's Best of the -ists post, a car blaring "21 Questions'" passed by our house. And that started us thinking about how some of the best -ist posts out there have at their hearts questions, some of which are answered, and some of which are left open. Check out the Best of the -ists from this week, and see if you agree.

LAist has so much fun this week! They go to E3, where they overhear the timeless remark "Man, this is where nerdy girls get laid." Is that a promise? They also give us this week's best CDs and make us realize that LA is the best place to use Zillow.

If you were like Gothamist Saturday night and stayed out too late at some bar on Ave C then you also missed the Austin City Limits that aired with Wilco and Bright Eyes. You also forgot to TiVo it. Luckily, it's airing again at midnight this Friday. So stop reading and go set your DVR's now.
