Mewscellaneous 7 years ago · updated 6 years, 10 months agoPart one of the interview with Bo Rune Madsen in Soundvenue
The sun shines on a stack of cassette tapes on the windowsill. Bo Madsen gathers them up and presents them. ‘Sushidemo’ and ‘Mew’ are written on them. One of them is decorated with a photo from 1993 which shows a group of young guys in lumberjack shirts with shoulder-length, Kurt Cobain-…[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] -

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… 🙁

Okay, I lolled. Anyway, Frederik probably has the reason here.

The new guy was in Sweden. He even played Comforting Sounds.

That’s why he was the odds on favourite.

Aw, I would have liked to see Helle Thorning-Schmidt up there.

no Matt Bellamy?

Wasn’t possible. Matt was in Finland at the time. Unfortunately.

Can we get Roskilde and Ruisrock odds? Seeing as Bo is definitely AT Roskilde on Saturday.

Very fun to see this!!! I just realized that i put my vote on the worst mee-song on a completely wrong track! The worst song is definetly Chineese Gun. Totally forgot about that song… Do you agree? 🙂

Not all my plots made it into the article, so I’m just gonna leave this here: http://imgur.com/a/RyW6S
The analysis was made using the free statistical software R and if anyone wanna see the code and/or dataset message me and I’ll send it to you.

Would’ve liked to use them all but was wary of them taking up too much space. Also couldn’t figure out how to get them to display properly in the spreadsheet I linked to.

Haha, good to know I’m not the only statistics enthusiast here!

Probably the same as the last listening party, unless anyone has any better ideas. There’ll be an “event” set up on Facebook later this week.

Okay thanks Gustav 🙂

I’m just thinking … 15/6 will be a Monday, but the last one was on a Saturday I think, hopefully that’s not too much of an issue.

Gustav posted an update in the group
+- 8 years ago · updated 8 years agoFactoid: Rows is pronounced like “rows of things” because it was originally an instrumental composition which they described as “rows of ideas”. The end section (“draw for me a rainbow”) was written separately and they glued it together. 1/8 notes in the first bit become triplets in the end section.
-
Songs they’d originally worked on before Johan returned included Satellites and Making Friends as well as Western Silver Lion Cub. So the last bit of My Complications came first. They sketched out the rest of My Complications before Russell Lissack helped them finish it.
-
+- is Mew’s most expensive album ever.
-
All the selfies taken for The Night Believer will be used. So if you sent them a picture of something you shouldn’t have, you might have made The Night Believer video X rated.
-
Clinging To A Bad dream started as an extended jam by Silas and Bo (that initial African-inspired bit). Jonas added chords for the chorus. Incidentally Clinging’s guitar part has nothing to do with Boy. Speaking of which, Boy ended up on the scrap pile.
-
Cross The River started out with a part written by Bo and Nick Watts. Hence Nick Watts got his first ever songwriting credit for Mew.
-
There was going to be an extra bit to their live shows. Something, as far as I remember, to do with “reflective screens”, but they couldn’t get it to work. They said they might add more new songs to the set lists as the tour progresses. Backdrops may return, although not for the +- tour (I don’t think).
-
The lighting/stage design as it is seems pretty underwhelming compared to the way they were describing how it was going to be. That’s a shame they couldn’t get the fancy things to work properly. But I *really* want those backdrops to return. Really, really, really.
-
I miss the backdrops too. It feels like a worn out novelty seeing them without them.
-
-
-
Agnes, help me out…
-
You are so good at this. I had already forgotten some of these things..
-
-
They will answer the questions from MewX on video and had already filmed Silas answering one.
-
I think they’ve filmed them all? They got around 7 I think. The Silas one is a question to him, which must be mine because I don’t think any of the others are addressed to him, although I might be wrong.
-
Hmm, maybe. Yes yours is the only one directly to Silas.
-
A good thing he didn’t know me as that weirdo who tried to ask him questions and then awkwardly hugged him.
-
Haha, yeah. That was a little awkward..
“Is this an interview?”
-
Don’t remind me!
-
-
-
-
-
Jonas talked for ages, and never seemed to tire of people asking him questions. I forgot to ask about Twin Peaks but there may be more things I’ve not mentioned.
-
Do you know when the MewX Q&A will come out? 🙂
-
No. They’ve done all the videos as mentioned above, and I think they might have sent them back, although they have to go through a bit of a chain to get back here.
-
-
-
Yeah in British English “rows” can mean arguments which might have made more sense in conjunction with the lyrics. If so it’s pronounced like “cows”.
-
Oh yeah with regards to Rows: they have played it in rehearsals, but they haven’t been able to figure out a good way of playing the last bit (“draw for me a rainbow”) because of the many vocal parts. They’ve tried to imitate them with synths, but it’s not sounded right yet.
