Chieftan Mews Q&A
In typical Mews fashion he actually gives the answer first, then the question. I reversed them to make them easier to read and follow.
Chieftan Mews newest Twitter picture is titled ims_menoo.jpg

Question from @thepaloalto: I love you Chieftan. Do you speak in auto-tune?
Answer: No, my voice is not auto-tuned.
#3
Question from @BatThom: @ChieftanMews Were you born or created in a lab?
Answer: I was manifested by both scenarios. Born in a lab. Where were you created? You look a tad like Bruce Wayne with a bat helmet.

& @StanleyDonwood is CMYK’ing the Newspaper Album. Also #theuniversalsigh. Nigel: What is he doing right now anyway? What does he do best?
They are both precise. Methodical. Like a butcher? Or perhaps like modern day physicists who are trying to expand the universe.

Question via @badlegaladvice: @ChieftanMews how’s your love life????
A- Many of us are observers here & elsewhere & that can hurt the love around us. Must DO more! My trail in the woods leads to a love letter…
#9
? via @anewthought: @ChieftanMews Why were you trying to lose @StanleyDonwood – he seems like a reasonable man, get off his case
A- He no longer follows me around on here. It may be mutual. He has some work to do..
#10
? @chitramyqueen: tell us about yourself! what is your favorite song? do you remember your dreams? what’s your favorite childhood memory?
A. – My favorite song is one I covered in a dream I had about childhood memories. Music is the universal language indeed. Even for paranormals.
#11
? via @luciotamino: @ChieftanMews How’s your heart lately?
A. – Dark.
#12
? via @inkybrown: Who are Wildwood and Twain? And did they assassinate Dr Tchock?
A. – Twain & Wildwood remind me Thompson & Steadman in many ways. Still don’t know the full details on them…
#13

#14

? from @mesilberman: what is your greatest accomplishment? ? from @DrGloom Where do you go when you hibernate, and what wakes you up?
A. – Great question! I would say disappearing when I need to. 2nd part: These days, in the woods. Hosting tv shows & collecting bounties wake me.
#19
?’s from many of you: What is Ims Menoo? Ers Menoo?
A. – As some have discovered….Ims & Ers = Him & Her = He is & She is
Moon Theory. HA!
#20

#21
? from @faraazn: what is a menoo ?
A. – Context of menoo: That man @StanleyDonwood: ims menoooo! Disturbed. Ers menoo: She is daffy. It helps if you do a Devon accent.
They will say about Mews: ims menoo! It shall be on my epitaph perhaps. And remember: No Mews Is Good News. Be alert. “They” are indeed, you

Chieftan Mews update… Twitter Q&A tomorrow, March 32nd
Chieftan Mews has recently updated his Twitter profile. He has updated his location to #TheUniversalSigh, and he now follows Radiohead as well. He updated his picture and added a web address (http://www.theuniversalsigh.com/) also.
His new Twitter picture is titled “morningbellsounds_wakingformore__reasonably_small.jpg”.
Anyone want to make a prediction when he will return? I am guessing something might happen soon. Meanwhile Stanley Donwood is no longer following Chieftan Mews.
Also, Chieftan Mews has joined Flickr http://www.flickr.com/people/chieftanmews/
Follow Chieftan Mews on Twitter: http://twitter.com/ChieftanMews
Update- He has just changed his name from “Liar” to “Chieftan Mews”
Update #2- Now his picture is titled “no_more_hiding”
Update #3- Chieftan Mews has just tweeted the following:
“Aha. While @StanleyDonwood was out handing #theuniversalsigh at Brick Lane, I managed to lose him from my trail. No more follow! AHA!”
Update #4- Another Tweet:
“And is he Zachariah Wildwood or Donald Twain now? Or @StanleyDonwood? Or is his name Legion? Nevertheless… it is March 32nd tomorrow…”
Update #5- Another Tweet:
“Be alert! Twitter Q&A time with Mews. Some of your questions will be pre-screened. Some will be live. Taking place March 32nd. Be alert! ␄”
Update #6- Chieftan Mews Twitter picture is now saved as “rotate_infinity_mirror”
Update #7- Another Tweet:
“Good day to Kiritimati, Fiji, Anadyr, Manila & Mumbai…. are you Ready To Learn?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3irel3QbogQ“
So, there is a Twitter Q&A tomorrow with Chieftan Mews. Will someone find out what IMS MENOO means? Let me know in the comments section what question you are going to ask him.
I am also aware that tomorrow is April 1st (There is no March 32nd), so there will be some April Fools jokes going around, though I will NOT be posting any of them here. Maybe they are referring to the 32nd to imply that this is not a joke? Either way I will have all of the updates and questions/ answers from the Q&A here on the site tomorrow.
The Universal Sigh-
As The Universal Sigh was handed out in the U.S. there were no flier’s with the special code on them, though they were apparently handed out in Canada except for Vancouver. These could have something to do with the photo’s being taken at each location. I am not sure, but I will do my best to find out more.
If you have not yet purchased a physical copy of The King Of Limbs you can order it on Amazon.com here

You can read the original story here. The Guardian also mentioned www.thekingoflimbspart2.com in an article, you can check it out here. Thanks once again to Gerald for sending these photos in.
In this photo: Thom Yorke and Stanley Donwood stand outside of Rough Trade in London.
Or is it Zachariah Wildwood and Donald Twain?

Thom Yorke hands out The Universal Sigh, and new music!
In this picture is Thom Yorke standing outside of Rough Trade Records in London handing out The Universal Sigh. Notice the sign in front of him reads, “It’s What Keeps Me Alive”?
It also looks as if Radiohead will release 2 new songs for Record Store Day. Radiohead will be releasing a two track 12″ vinyl on the worldwide Record Store Day. The two tracks are The Butcher and Supercollider. There will supposedly only be 2,000 copies available, though there are rumors that the code given out with The Universal Sigh may include these songs.
Matt, who is a reader of this site from the UK was at the event and gave the following information:
Thom just handed me the newspaper. Nawt bad.
The code is for the photos, alas (one of Stanley Donwood’s henchmen told me)….although they are all on there already…
I get the idea that its the website (universalsigh.com) which will contain extra stuff as thats what the newspaper links to and explicitly tells you to go to.
Who knows.
Probably not even them.
Or, as Thom said to me ‘I don’t know what the fuck I’m doing here’
Here is a video of the event that shows the line going around the building and Thom Yorke himself standing outside handing out The Universal Sigh.
In this picture is Thom Yorke standing outside of Rough Trade Records in London handing out The Universal Sigh. The sign behind him reads, “All Can Become Normal Again”?
Does Thom Yorke read thekingoflimbspart2.com? Listen what he says at around 39 seconds in this video. He says “$60 on eBay”, which was first posted on this site on March 23rd in this post. This story was featured on quite a few websites the following day.
