I like this! I also found Eggs AreFunny disappointing (though that band photo of them on the back cover in those creepy hood garments is so amazing, I want it on a big poster!). Songs like Cartoons and Rows are challenging, but superlative examples of a band going EPIC. And you’ve got to have the perfect trilogy of Apocalypso/Special/Zookeeper in…[Read more]

It surprises me that given the amount of time I spend thinking about Mew, I very rarely ever dream about them. Usually it’s an anxiety dream about missing a concert.

Back at the release of Making Friends (13) my hopes for a new album coming out soon was rising. I had a dream in which I got to see the new album’s cover art. It was the very same as Frengers, but all the pinks were blue, and the background was filed with blue butterflies. It was actually pretty.
I’ve also had many dreams in which I get to hear…[Read more]

In often have dreams about Mew. I love the Mew-dreams, because I often get to talk to the band. I usually remember the dreams, sometimes I write them down. But! I’ll tell you the most recent i had, about a new single!:

I was at Roskilde festival (or at least that’s what I thought in the dream, actually it was nothing like that), and I was looking…[Read more]

I’m sure I’ve had a lot over the years, most recent one involved being at a bird sanctuary with Silas and watching a family of foxes playing outside whilst we were in a bird hide.
I remember one a while back and I was wandering through some vast building with lots of staircases. I met Jonas there and we were both looking for the same stair case…[Read more]

Part two…
Rock Star Bo
“It’s basically the story of a friendship which didn’t survive,” Bo begins.
“It was me and Jonas who found each other in 8th grade and became an odd couple. I’m the extroverted, footballing type, and he’s the thoughtful, introverted type. We are completely and utterly different and when you work together as a group, you ne…[Read more]

Anything else, Gustav?

Part three…
Too Many Battles
You mention in your book, that you realised that you’d become part of a brand?

“That’s to do with the fact that you start by just playing, and then there’s meetings you have to go to. You stand and pose together in photos and have to do all sorts of strange things, which you never really feel for at all, and which h…[Read more]

It’s bittersweet. Nice to get an explanation (well timed with the book release, of course) and that he feels good, but sad to hear of how the relationship between them dissolved.

I wonder if we will now get a proper comment from Jonas, Johan and Silas.

where’s part two? I can’t reach it… 🙁

Part two?

Could someone provide a decent translation?

I was wandering around the streets of Tokyo in the middle of the night and I get an email from Bo saying I’M BACK. Almost had a heart attack. A few seconds later I realised it was about this book.

The order form is a little bit confusing. It seems to indicate it will only ship to Europe, but you can fill in other non-European shipping addresses as well. It lists 90kr as the shipping fee to the US, which seems suspiciously low, but I have received the shipping notification today which shows it is legitimate.

Edit: Book arrived, it is totally legit.

i want to hear Bo plays more guitar-centric songs like repeaterbeater, IPP, and more songs from Triumph

Call me ‘quaint’ if you like – but my biggest wish is for Mew’s history to repeat itself and for me to be younger this time round, so that I would have found them sooner

…In fact, now that I think of it, I wish I was a teenager going to their school when they were teens too, lol!

I’ve always wanted to get a closer look at the live visuals. They’re so amazing. Most youtube videos are so blurry, and even seeing them live there are so many lights and objects on stage distracting.
And while I’m very fond of both No More Stories and +-, I miss the ”dark” sound Kites had. Its dreamy sound and the nightmarish music videos and…[Read more]

I have a lot of wishes as a Frenger. 1) For them to do a more refine remake of the song Nothing is Red 2) For them to perform King Christian, Nothing is Red, and Tsin-Tsai live for the 1st time, and 3) Maybe for them to do a cover of any songs 😉
