why does mogwai have only one song?

― keith m (keithmcl), Saturday, 14 August 2004 20:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Ask him why I don't like them more. Or just ask him what I'm doing wrong. Ask him if he thinks the first two songs on the new Mono album sound EXACTLY like Godspeed You Black Emperor. Then ask him if this is okay though, cuz Mono are Japanese and thus are inherently cooler than Godspeed no matter who they rip off.

Aren't Godspeed canadian? In my world that's way cooler. Japan is so 2001.

Ask him what school he went to.
Then ask him if he still hates Blur for being middle class.

ask him if he'll fix the flat tire on my bicycle.

― keith m (keithmcl), Saturday, 14 August 2004 21:11 (twenty-one years ago)

I've spoken to him twice, but both times were mainly about Guns 'n Roses and Irvine Welsh.

― Igor, Saturday, 14 August 2004 21:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Ask him if he likes Slint.

― Reed Rosenberg (reed), Saturday, 14 August 2004 23:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Ask him why his Friendster profile is so boring.

― Alba (Alba), Saturday, 14 August 2004 23:17 (twenty-one years ago)

ask him if he's not going to hit me after i uploaded 3 tracks off their last album to a file sharing website before he had a copy of it

Ask him what he thinks this interview is going to achieve.

― Alba (Alba), Sunday, 15 August 2004 09:07 (twenty-one years ago)

I left a pie on the windowsill not half an hour ago and now it's gone. Does he know where it is?

― DJ Mencap0))), Sunday, 15 August 2004 09:16 (twenty-one years ago)

some neat questions and some 'weak comedic value' questions. scott, going to use a rephrased version of yours, is that cool?

― doomie x, Sunday, 15 August 2004 09:58 (twenty-one years ago)

and i like the friendster one!

ha ha.

he always gives good interview. v. v. entertaining.

(cue: 'obvious weak comedic value response: oh unlike their rekkerds).

Also, serious question - ask what he thinks about the Scottish Executive's 'anti-ned' clampdown.

― Alba (Alba), Sunday, 15 August 2004 10:13 (twenty-one years ago)

I didn't know everyone else was gonna be silly too! I thought he had lots of fans on ILM and they would all want to know lots of serious things about him.

You could ask him if he has ever had any bowel complaints from playing so loud. No, really!

― scott seward (scott seward), Sunday, 15 August 2004 10:49 (twenty-one years ago)

No one likes Mogwai, do they?

― Alba (Alba), Sunday, 15 August 2004 10:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Ned does.

― scott seward (scott seward), Sunday, 15 August 2004 10:52 (twenty-one years ago)

i do as well.

hey scott, go to the cherrystones and votel thread. yr psych-groundhogs knowledge is required!

― doomie x, Sunday, 15 August 2004 10:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Ask him whether he sided with Billy Corgan when he said:

"But my whole thing is that people don't fall in love to Pavement, people don't get up in the morning before they go to school and put on Big Black. They put on Smashing Pumpkins or Hole or Nirvana, because these bands actually mean something to them. It's the difference between music you put on to take drugs to, and music you put on to live your life."

(liking the Cure and once dismissing the Beta Band as stoner music, I suspect he might)

― Alba (Alba), Sunday, 15 August 2004 10:55 (twenty-one years ago)

This is funny:

Crap. Put on the dullest Spacemen 3 outtake and attach your volume control to a yo-yo string, and you're almost there.

dave q like gino vanelli. i don't really rate his opinions. good for a laugh though.

― doomie x, Sunday, 15 August 2004 11:03 (twenty-one years ago)

following from albas question (if stuart says yes to that question), does stuart think that mogwai themselves have escaped the pavement type fandom, and achieved that larger type fandom, of falling in love to?

also, i wonder what he thinks of the boredoms and psyche-noise type scene in general, it seems to generate much more excitement and involvement than the postrock scene they sprang from (and havent escaped?)

― david acid (gareth), Sunday, 15 August 2004 11:59 (twenty-one years ago)

ask him if he's still in 2 it...

i've seen them twice this year, and they suddenly seemed like married men who travel around the world playing music as a job. nothing wrong with that of course, but they used to be so extraordinary as a live band, whereas now they feel a bit kind of bland and safe. it breaks my heart to write that because i used to love them so much...

― officer pupp, Sunday, 15 August 2004 16:55 (twenty-one years ago)

i have talked to him. he is not very talkative. or maybe he just didn't like me. or maybe i bored him. yeah.

― Jay Kid (Jay K), Sunday, 15 August 2004 20:01 (twenty-one years ago)

ask how the surgeon remix of fear satan came out,what their connection to surgeon is

― robin (robin), Sunday, 15 August 2004 22:46 (twenty-one years ago)

(i must be one of the only people in the world to have got into techno through mogwai)

― robin (robin), Sunday, 15 August 2004 22:46 (twenty-one years ago)

ask him if he has phoebe cates' phone number.

― keith m (keithmcl), Sunday, 15 August 2004 23:20 (twenty-one years ago)

if he ever thought about getting a weave.
