In February 2021, 25 years into their career, Scottish post-rock band Mogwai scored their first number 1 record with their 10th album, As The Love Continues. On this week's podcast, band leader Stuart Braithwaite recalls the start of the band in Glasgow in 1995, what actually happens when you get a number 1 record, why Lou Reed would have been nice to them, and the kick-back from their Blur Are Shite T-shirt that rumbles on to this day.
