more csi business	05/04/05
the government commissions versions of 'superheroes of bmx' and 'like herod' were used in episode 18 of the current season of 'csi'. this continues the franchise's use of mogwai with 'tracy' used previously in the spin-off 'csi:miami'. apparently both were used when evidence was being analysed in the lab. this has aired in the us and should appear in the uk later in the year when the series catches up with america. 'csi' airs in the uk at 9.00pm tuesdays on five. thanks, michael and 'grissom'. -iain

about sums it up	04/03/05
brightlight has always made a point of highlighting why mogwai's fans love the band so much, and this extract from jason rogers' review of 'government commissions' is a good example. the full review can be read on the government commssions page, or on the music@murmurs.com forum. if i had to name a particular moment from the past decade when i came the closest to musical transcendence, one of the first to come to mind would be the night of june 19, 2001, when i stood in the crowd at variety playhouse in atlanta and watched mogwai play "new paths to helicon pt i". stuart braithwaite and company barely seemed to move at all on the stage as the instrumental began with the windy whisper of keyboards joined by a subtly ominous bass line and suppressed cymbal percussion. the deceptively simple instrumental took several minutes to build up momentum and those of us in the audience could feel the change in the air, almost like the tingle at the back of one’s neck when one watches the pressure needle in a boiler room slowly inch past the red marks. finally, the sonic wave crest of guitar distortion struck and, as the stage lights brightened accordingly, loudness washed over us with an oceanic intensity that was somehow both fierce and serene. -rob

cat no here	27/02/05
mogwai debuted two new tracks during yesterday's appearance at the atp festival. other highlights of the hour-long mid-afternoon show included 'r u still in 2 it?' with aidan moffat on vocals. setlist etc here: gig260205.php. from memory: 'glower of a cat' - maybe 3 or 4 mins long. fast, loud and riff-heavy throughout. all guitars, no keyboards. everyone stops at the same time. can't think of anything mogwai have released that it sounds like. 'we're no here' - longer, slower building track. heavy section in the middle, but even this seemed much slower-paced. some fantastic interlocking guitar lines running through it. if anyone has anything to add to these descriptions, or disagrees hugely, get in touch. i am, as many of you have worked out already, no musician. if you recorded the show, please get in touch. -rob

from the mogwai q&a: q: the dvd. has it been shit canned while you work on the new lp? a: we still intend to do it but the main problem has been the lack of fan footage sent in so far. stuart back in april, stuart asked brightlight to act as collection point for the fan-shot dvd footage. to date, all we've received is a two-minute clip from manchester academy, october 2003 - thanks chris. -rob

barry's trousers	01/11/04
stuart has been amongst the many people sharing their memories of john peel this week, in scotland on sunday. throughout his career, peel was more interested in having a curry with the rezillos at kushi's in edinburgh's broughton street, or popping into stuart braithwaite's mum's house in lanarkshire when filming a tv series in the neighbourhood, to see if mogwai's frontman fancied coming out for a pint. interestingly braithwaite considers his nineties crop to be the definitive peel generation, although his leftfield predecessors from the seventies and eighties would all claim him as their own. his current favourite memory dates from one of peel's stints presenting bbc television's coverage of the glastonbury festival. "rem were playing, and they were desperate to speak with michael stipe, but he said he would only do it if john peel conducted the interview. john politely turned him down, explaining that i was already booked to come on for that slot. maybe he thought he owed us one from the previous year. his trousers had burst, and barry [burns, mogwai's man of many instruments] had to lend him a pair of his." perhaps that is how the most influential dj of the past 50 years would like to be remembered: a man of many splendid and diverse records, but not enough trousers. thanks, steve. -rob

eska	26/10/04
stuart drummed for eska during mogwai's formative period, but until today we'd been unsure of his exact contribution to their recordings. thanks to martin donnelly for setting the record straight: i can clarify a couple of things for you. the drummer on (eska's) "trucking and paving" and the split with the poison sisters is way too bad to be martin bulloch - i'm the guilty party. stuart took over from me at the eska kit between the recording of these singles and their release. he used to annoy colin at gigs by standing up behind his drums and using sticks as devil horns behind his back. see the collaborations discography for more details. -rob
ian curtis biopic	23/10/04
lifted from poptones.co.uk, an excerpt from an interview with todd eckert, producer of the forthcoming joy division movie: q: how are you going to be approaching the soundtracks to the joy division movie? a: there are likely going to be three soundtracks to the movie; the first will consist of original joy division music, the second will consist of incidental music for the film, hopefully from the members of new order, though they may not be recording as new order per se. and the third soundtrack will be a little bit different - we have asked people who we know and like to do a cover of a joy division song. so far, mogwai and black rebel motorcycle club have expressed some interest to this, along with a few others. but to maintain the intensity and anxiety of each joy division track we are giving the bands only a couple days to record their cover - we will arrange the studio time at comparatively inconvient times - like, if they have a day off in-between a tour - to provide an atmosphere of intensity. thanks, derek. -rob

c'mon you reds	11/10/04
from the guardian last friday (8th october): other welsh people are more aggressively anti-english. when, for instance, england played croatia in the european championships earlier this year, multi-instrumentalist barry burns, on tour in zagreb with his band mogwai, told the croatian media: "i'd love croatia to beat england. please destroy the bastards." burns could not be contacted to express his hopes this time, but they may well have been unprintable. for the uninitiated, the story concerns a new european union map of europe which somehow manages to omit wales completely. the guardian published a correction notice last saturday. thanks, steve. -rob
new kids on the bloc	10/10/04
stuart has confirmed, via the mogwai.co.uk q&a, that mogwai have been asked to remix 'compliments', a track from bloc party's forthcoming debut album. in a recent interview for polish radio, bloc party bassist gordon moakes said: we want to occupy a space in music a bit like mogwai do - they are well respected and able to make exactly the music they want to on their own terms. they have carved a niche for themselves that everybody understands and they inspire great devotion and nobody is waiting for them to fall flat on their faces. it's the ideal for a band. i only met stuart briefly a few years ago as a fan, when they played a live peel session that i attended. i doubt he'd remember me. i absolutely adore that band. we've just approached them for a remix which we're hoping will come up trumps. i'd love to hang out with the guy. he's been very inspiring to me personally. thanks, bartek. -rob
