Mogwai Diss The Forthcoming Beatles Covers Album

After verbally attacking Keith Richards yesterday, Mogwai have now dismissed the forthcoming Beatles cover album we recently told you about, featuring such names as Oasis and Kaiser Chiefs.
The band posted the following message on their official site, showing their dislike for the project: "Great News. Such musical wonders as James Morrison and The Fratellis are to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the Sgt Peppers Beatles album by covering songs from it."
"I for one cannot wait to hear this meaningful idea come to fruition. Only thing is, can anyone really better the genius of "With a little help from my friends". I know Wet, Wet,Wet came REALLY close but it'll take a mastery of music to pull this one off."
"Such classics as "A day in the life" will surely be so difficult to interpret due to its subtleties and beautiful piano breakdown. I cannot wait and I doubt you can either. Yeah! Now shoot me in the face with a shotgun."
