engineers remix	01/09/05
insound are running a competition to win copies of volume two of their 'insound 7" box' series, featuring the contantines "insectivora (live)" b/w engineers "home (mogwai remix)". only 1000 copies of the single have been pressed, and 10 are up for grabs. originally scheduled for release on 13th june, the mogwai mix was due to feature amongst the b-sides of engineers 'home' single. however, this was pulled at the last minute, and downgraded from a full release to download-only, available via itunes (more details at the engineers website). it appears that some copies had already been pressed before the decision was taken to pull the record. giant step mailorder are selling 'home' 12" singles, including the remix (postage from the us puts the overall cost up to around £8). there were a number of cd promos on ebay, but these are one track only and do not include the mogwai remix. copies of a five-track cd ep, which does include the remix, have proved more elusive. if anyone has any further info on this, please let us know. -rob

alan	16/08/05
culled from an interview with alan mcgee on the poptones website: the new mogwai record is being mixed at the moment. it is incredible. i think this is going to be a word of mouth record. i can't see how this is going to be played on radio one or radio two but you know what – it is probably the greatest art rock record that i've been involved in since my bloody valentine's loveless. its possibly better than loveless. it is the record that they have always threatened to make and unless something tragic goes on during the mixing process we will have an absolute masterpeice. for mogwai this is a creative career high ... sure other records might sell more – but they are going to be hard pressed to beat this record ... this is the record that they have always threatened to make. it is a shockingly good record – fucking masterpiece. -rob

istanbul cancelled, spanish shows in the autumn	13/06/05
after the glasgow and st. petersburg cancellations last week comes the sad news that martin is still not well enough to play the scheduled 'rockistanbul' show on 20th june. get well soon, martin! culled from pitchfork: mogwai recording new album caroline bermudez reports: in between shattering eardrums with notoriously loud live sets where their feet never seem to move away from their big muff pedals, scottish cresecendo-rockers mogwai are recording a new album at their newly purchased studio in glasgow, the castle of doom. (yes, really.) tentatively titled 'mr. beast', the album is slated for a release in early 2006. tony doogan, who produced the mountain goats' tallahassee, a handful of hefner records, and a number of belle & sebastian songs (among them "legal man" and "your cover's blown" off the booksep) is sharing co-production duties on mr. beast with mogwai. e-mailing pitchfork, guitarist/vocalist stuart braithwaite reports that recording is one-third complete, and that the band aims to finish by the start of august. song titles include "friend of the night" and "robocop vs. the orange walk". when asked how the new album will differ from their last one, happy songs for happy people, braithwaite wrote, "don't know yet, it will probably do for flangers what interpol did for suits." the flanger, for those of you not in the know, is an effects pedal. like we told you, the mogwai boys do love their gear. as for touring, the band recently cancelled shows in st. petersburg and glasgow due to drummer martin bulloch's tendonitis, but will hit the road once he heals. braithwaite said, "arm permitting, we are playing istanbul next monday [the rockistanbul festival on june 20, whose line-up also contains kraftwerk, the kills, garbage, and megadeth]. we also have a few spanish festivals lined up for the autumn [and] we'll also be playing the abc (new venue in glasgow) at some point, rescheduled from last week." if you do happen to catch them in turkey or spain, definitely bring ear plugs; as this reporter learned back in 2001 at the sxsw matador label showcase, your ears will ring for a day and a half if you don't. -rob

rockfeedback	23/05/05
further to our news report below - rockfeedback tv debuts on mtv2 on 4th and 5th june. filmed at the two uk atp festivals this year, mogwai are to appear at some point. a documentary-themed affair, the two, on-location debuting episodes are intimately shot, behind-the-scenes viewing-treats, perhaps boasting instances that viewers are seldom provided – namely, artists not being asked vacuous questions, or imposed in an unnatural studio environment. in 'rockfeedback tv' reside artists in their natural habitat – on the tourbus, in the dressing-room, onstage. wherever the real work is done. filmed at the prestigious 'all tomorrow’s parties' festivals, the featured acts of 'rockfeedback tv' that kick off our voyeuristic journey constitute a myriad of varied and crucial talent – from sonic youth (pictured), through to love with arthur lee, via mogwai, the shins, the fiery furnaces, stephen malkmus and dizzee rascal. other artists / names set to feature in this statement-of-intent entrance – legendary engineer steve albini, todd, dead meadow, erase errata, mclusky, bobby conn, cass mccombs, the boredoms, turbonegro, lightning bolt, cex and mission of burma. that this is essential viewing isn’t to be contested. you tell us another music-show funded on a budget of peanuts that tells it like it is and isn’t scared to do so. (sorry for the self-righteousness – but television’s been waiting for this). please tune in. support future / culture / the genius of today and tomorrow. before the chance slips away. more shows are scheduled for the rest of the year. keep posted. a brand-new website has been launched to coincide with the sporadically-screened series: rockfeedback.tv details on the show content are scarce at present, so we're unsure whether footage of mogwai's set (including two unreleased new tracks, lest we forget) will feature. thanks, steve. update 24/5 - these shows were screened at the gallo atp festival a few weeks ago, and the footage was filmed at the 'directors cut' atp festivals in 2004, so no new songs. can anyone confirm? thanks, mark. -rob

stuart picks the tracks for this week's 'underrated/overrated' feature in nme: underrated: sunno))) - hell-o)))-ween (from 'white 2', 2004) they're making some of the most amazing music around today. it's really slow, drumless metal - like listening to a slayer album on a record player with its batteries running down. they dress up like druids as well. i saw them play at autechre's atp and it below my mind. this song is exactly the same length as it takes me to drive to asda from my house, so it's perfect for that journey. overrated: scissor sisters - comfortably numb (from 'scissor sisters', 2004) i'm not precious about pink floyd, but this is just rubbish. the first time i saw them was on graham norton's show and i thought it was a sketch. they're just the same as elton john and all that horrible 70s music that i thought modern music was here to replace. i think by being camp the scissor sisters have managed to get people who really should know better to not admit that they're shit. -rob
