This weekend's posts have largely been an attempt to catch up. Here's another - thanks Charles.

In 2009, David D'Andrea created the official show poster for Mogwai's San Francisco show.

Some copies remain for sale:

New songs for French TV

Stuart was interviewed by Italian radio RAI2 prior to Mogwai's set at A Perfect Day Festival in Verona on Saturday (1st September). Main item of interest was the comment that Mogwai's recent recording sessions were for a French TV show.

Thanks Markus
