Mew can do no wrong. I’m thoroughly convinced of that. Last night’s ninety minute set was yet another outstanding one. Official TMS Rating: 10/10. Last month, I interviewed Mew. I strongly urge you to catch Mew on their North American trek. Watch ‘Repeater Beater’ here. Visit Mew at their official site.

Enjoy my full exchange with Jonas Bjerre (vocals & guitar) below.
1. What are your three most cherished albums of 2009?
I was so excited to finally hear a ‘new’ Prefab Sprout album and though it was recorded back in ‘92 (I believe) right after Jordan: the comeback, it was not released until 2009, so that’s definitely one of my three faves this year. The new Animal Collective (Merriweather Post Pavilion) is great, I think. And finally I would say our fellow Danes, Oh No Ono’s album Eggs.
2. Mew recently performed a few gigs with NIN. How’d they go?
They went really well, the audience was great and we had an amazing time on the tour, everyone treated us so well! We had heard about Trent taking an interest in what we do a while back but we were still working on the album. Luckily a tour became possible for which I am very thankful.

Waiting... One of the things that gets under my skin is having to wait for a music download to finish. I usually end up playing something silly, like online bingo or some other flash game, while I'm trying to kill some time. It's an easy way to kill 10 minutes while waiting.
