  “So, what’s up with the title of the album, The Hawk is Howling? Is this the
  next instance of a band strapping a saddle onto the dead horse (pun
  intended!) of zoological/biological source material for the creative
  process? Guess again, assholes! For that easy fix, you’ll have to wait two
  minutes for Kristen Schaal to form a band (or walk into any local club
  tonight).
  Don’t get me wrong. I am a fervent animal lover, and I regard nature as
  something useful for certain forms of creativity. But for fuck’s sake, can
  we give the shit a goddamned rest when it comes to music? That’s exactly
  what the members of Mogwai were thinking when they cooked up the concept
  behind these four words! Momentarily forgetting that they themselves are
  named after a fake animal, the Scots devised a subtly satirical attack upon
  this insufferably irritating trend.
  When compared to a grackle or a female cardinal, a hawk might be
  considered dignified and beautiful. But when placed among its predatory
  contemporaries, this raptor becomes the Wal-Mart of Order Falconiformes. One
  doesn’t have to look far to witness the opportunistic and lazy practices of
  a red-tailed hawk as it circles above a city park or a Food Not Bombs co-op.
  Go back to the country!
  Mogwai have devalued the faux-naturalist naming process by utilizing
  what is essentially a glorified crow. On top of that, they have punished the
  animal and further deconstructed the trend by suggesting an unnatural and
  demeaning sound. Hawks don’t howl! You know what howls? Dirty feral dogs,
  Diamanda Galas, cats on the way to the vet, Bigfoot and most whores.
  We can only hope that Mogwai’s pointed spoof discourages a few
  “creative” types from naming a band, song or album title after something
  that shits outdoors.”
