Mew recorded a fabulous session for The Alternate Side -radio channel last August and the songs that they played were Silas the Magic Car, New Terrain and Hawaii Dream. The sound quality is excellent and on the aforementioned site you may also listen to a very funny 15-minute interview.

Some have called it the best music video of the year (so far) and certainly one of the best Mew have ever had. Its predecessor Introducing Palace Players was not quite as appreciated due to the lack of band members

Some of the venues are quite small (like the 500-capacity Gebäude 9 in Cologne, Germany) and some are massive (the 7000-capacity Old Ice Hall in

The day before yesterday Mew played Cartoons and Macramé Wounds live for the first time ever (at Detroit Bar, Costa Mesa, California) and this means that they have played nine tracks out of the fourteen No More Stories-songs so far (some only acoustically, though). Only the intermezzos, Vaccine, Tricks of the Trade and Reprise are

No More Stories held the #1 spot on Danish album chart on its second week, but dropped to #60 in Sweden (where it went in at #41 on its opening week). Another interesting fact is that the album is now #130 in United States when it opened at #183 there. That’s quite a climb, isn’t
