Hello Mogwai!

First off - ace set at Latitude on Friday, I only saw the second half after James Holden but have seen you guys on double-figures occasions now, so hope you'll forgive me.

Second off - thanks for signing my record at Rough Trade earlier in the year.

Third: A question! My friend got me to listen to you by describing that a particularly loud version of 'My Father My King' in London led to you cracking the venue's ceiling. Is this true, and can you share the story?

Hi Gents,

An endless fan of both your work, particularly the Lessons and Carols for Godless People. Thank you for introducing me, too, to some fine young comedians (Jonny & The Baptists my favourite discovery through you two!)

My question is this: why do you think there's been such a resurgence in the popularity of informative, emotive lectures - the likes of which include you lot, RSA Animate or TED Talks - in recent years? Are people, in your experience, more interested in finding out about weird and wonderful stuff?

Also, who's the most difficult performer you've had to work with in your Monkey Cage capacity?

I love your tour twitter accounts - eg. @MogwaiHotel - where did the idea for this come from, and who's responsible for maintaining them? And what place/food/drink has received the worst Mogwai review?
