12. VIDEOS We’ll all have our own favourites, but how about the skydiving of ‘Simon Ferocious’, the scratchy animation of ‘Batcat’ or ‘Stanley Kubrick’, as directed by Brian Grifi n? Not the Family Guy dog, we’re pretty sure.
13. SCARY ALBUM COVERS There’s 1999’s Come On Die Young with band member Dominic Aitchison looking a bit demonic (is it a coincidence that Blair Witch Project came out that same year?), while The Hawk is Howling actually features a non-verbalising eagle. As for Mr Beast: we don’t even want to think about what might be going on in that collage of weirdness.

14. IT’S NOT ALL LOUD-QUIET-LOUD
Their longstanding reputation is of a band who blast our senses with a wall of sound before gently lulling us into a false sense of calm before pummeling our ears again, all within the one track. But more recently things have gone a little bit electronica in the ‘Gwai camp with their most recent album cementing them as an altogether different post-rock beast.

8. LIONEL RICHIE Legend has it that the i nal track from Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will was named after the very words spoken by Stuart Braithwaite to Lionel Richie upon a chance meeting at an airport: ‘you’re Lionel Richie’. Well, what else was he to say: ‘hello, is it me you’re looking for?’
9. FITBA’ They’re just normal guys who like their team, right? And occasionally, a fondness for the green and white part of Glasgow will creep into their work. Such as ‘Scotland’s Shame’ which gently mocked the red, white and blue element of the city, and ‘Hugh Dallas’, a ‘tribute’ to the one of the most controversial Scottish referees of our time.
10. ROCK ACTION Their own label has given us the likes of Errors, Remember Remember, Sacred Paws and the James Orr Complex as well as, obviously, some classic Moggers.

15. RAVE TAPES Nominated for the Scottish Album of the Year Award, Rave Tapes received almost universal four out of i ve reviews (or 7/10 if you’re the NME) and if you can listen to the moment in ‘Remurdered’ where it picks up the pace without involuntarily nodding your head in a repetitive and rhythmic fashion, you may well have no soul.
16. WHISKY Sophisticated chaps that they are, the band released their own brand of scotch called RockAct81w, limited to 324 bottles.
17. CELEB FANS Robert Smith of the Cure and Frank Black of the Pixies are two, and Ian Rankin is another. Maybe Lionel Richie? That remains unconi rmed.
18. BERLIN Mogwai are ofi cially now a Glasgow-Berlin band with Barry Burns having moved out there to co-run a bar which he has compared to Glasgow’s The Doublet. Continuing the Germanic feel, Stuart Braithwaite nominated Bowie’s ‘Heroes’ as having the i nest guitar solo in music history.
19. VOCODER The voice encoder synthesis system has had a mixed musical history, previously utilised by everyone from Phil Collins to ELO and Kraftwerk to the Clockwork Orange soundtrack. Mogwai gave it a new lease of life on 2001’s Rock Action.
20. PLAYING LIVE The band may be doing two shows as part of their 20th anniversary celebrations at their spiritual home of Barrowlands, but Mogwai’s mighty sound has also i lled such grand UK auditoria as the Usher Hall and the Royal Albert Hall.
