00:03 Scotland's always punched above its weight creatively.
00:12 Whether you're talking about music or writing, art,
00:16 we've always punched above our weight
00:17 for a country of 5 million people.
00:19 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:27 And Scotland is a country of binaries.
00:31 You see them everywhere.
00:32 You go to Glasgow, it's Celtic or Rangers, West End
00:35 or East End.
00:37 Then there's Glasgow and Edinburgh,
00:39 some binaries as well, Jekyll and Hyde or Cain and Abel.
00:41 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:45 Then you've got the Scots who are very reticent and quiet
00:49 and shy.
00:50 And you've got Scots when you get a drink in them,
00:52 like Akeli, just wild revelers.
00:57 And all these things are contained in the culture that
01:00 comes out of that country.
01:02 And you see it in the art, and you see it in the storytelling,
01:04 and you see it in the music.
01:05 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:09 I think Mogwai are the best example of that.
01:16 That dual nature, warring sides of human nature,
01:22 the light and the dark are always there,
01:24 clashing, bouncing off each other in Mogwai's music.
