Katrien: Name of the girl working at a festival who asked us to fill in the PRS form that the then unnamed song was being performed at (Pukkelpop?) this is cool. katrien's quite a common name here (and pukkelpop is the first place i saw you guys, hollering with my pimp mogwai death metal hoodie). i first thought it was from the river or something, but there you go.

Very interesting. "A Cheery Wave from Stranded Youngsters", "Moses? I Amn't" and "Superheroes of BMX" also beggar enquiry?

Didn't some of the track names (eg: Golden Porsche) come from 'fan' suggestions on the old Q&A page on the Mogwai site?
What's the story behind 'Young Face Gone Wrong' and the brilliant title 'Stupid Prick Gets Chased By The Police And Loses His Slut Girlfriend'!!?

A new Scottish Feature Film currently in production; 'Valhalla Rising' has music by Mogwai. Is this new material specifically for the film or old stuff ?

What's the story behind 'Young Face Gone Wrong' and the brilliant title 'Stupid Prick Gets Chased By The Police And Loses His Slut Girlfriend'!!? Golden Porsche was indeed suggested by a fan. More of that calibre would be most welcome. Stupid prick gets chased by the police and loses his slut girlfriend: last summer we were commissioned to score a film called Paraiso Travel. After we explained that we had a short space of time to record the music we recorded and delivered the rough mixes only for them to be rejected and us to be sacked without receiving any money towards our costs incurred. It was without doubt the most unprofessional way that we have ever been treated and we are still owed a substantial amount of money from the film makers. The song title is a description of what happens in the opening scene of the film. Thanks You Space Expert (a quote from a news anchor) was also written originally for the film and by rights should be called Stupid Prick finds that his slut girlfriend has gone the whole hog and become a prostitute and now lives in a trailer park in somewhere shite in America. Ha, i've just given away the ending of their rubbish film. Lynn Fainchtein the music producer is a deceitful liar. Young Face Gone Wrong: a made up condition where you can't tell if someone is old or young because of their weird face. See lead singer in Ting Tings. SB

harsh but most probably fair on all counts!
Any favourite doom or drone-metal acts? [I'd suggest Nadja, Monarch, Moss and Atavist as starting points.]

I read a phrase in a book last night that reminded me of this: We Are Not at Home to Mr ReasonableThought it would make for a good Megasnake-esque song

So after reading here I just looked at that world weekly news site and holy shit, its a bloody song title factory.
"Alien Bible" "Republicans are Ketchup Freaks" "The man in the moon is a peeping Tom!" "Democrats Plant Sexy Intern to Seduce Bush" "Jungle Root Canal" "Space Opera"

Would you guys consider 'Gubernaculum' seriously? It's a cord of tissue in the developing foetus that helps the testes in males and ovaries in females descend from the abdomen where they originate.

Will you guys be playing "The Sun Smells Too Loud" on the fall tour?
Was it your idea to do the MYT shows, or were you approached? Any thoughts about playing CODY cover to cover?

I've also wondered where the titles from the Zidane soundtrack came from - they clearly bear no reference to the film itself (for the most part anyways)

I've got a question regarding the fall tour.
Do you guys plan on playing different set lists for each show? (I ask because i'm planning on going to both shows in my area. ;D)

Chaps,
Would you ever consider a two night residency, on Friday a complete rendition of Young Team and Saturday a complete live rendition of CODY?
That would be the stuff dreams are made of!

Any clue to what's going to be on the Hawk bonus DVD? I really enjoyed the Beast DVD if only to hear Martin use the phrase 'hundreds of butter'.
