New blog post by Stanley Donwood
There was a new blog post by Stanley Donwood on his blog on September 7th.
Underground, that’s where I belong. That’s where the next thing I’m doing will be. Under Waterloo Station in London, England, where the air shakes as the trains depart from the platforms above, taking the sensible elsewhere. I’m doing something under there, in October.

Ed O’Brien Interview “You’ve got to find a voice” Part 2
Here is Part 2 of Ed O’Brien’s interview “You’ve got to find a voice”.
Source: All Tuntun
Second part of our interview with Ed O’Brien. Chat gets loose, so does Ed, and everything turns into a relaxed conversation. Ed speaks us about some of his personal tastes: music, football and Carlitos Tévez in particular.
Maturation.
C- At some point you said you were a bit worried by the lack of guitars in Kid A or Amnesiac.
E- Yeah, years ago.
C- Do you enjoy now to play more with the sound effects?
E- You know when I said that I was talking about a time at the beginning of the recording sessions and it was that long (very short sign with the fingers). It was an adjustment that had to be made, you know, we went from making three albums which had been all guitars and you played your thing, and suddenly like there was no scope for that, so inevitably, when change happens in anything in life you feel like, you know…
C- Did you have a moment, as a band, that you would decide how to stand in front of the audience? Because we recently watched the Astoria concert in 1994 and you were looking more rockers.
E- What you do up on stage you don’t even think about it, it just happens. We were probably moving around a lot more.
S- Yeah, for example you were jumping.
E- Yeah, yeah I can’t do that, it’s not appropriate, that music it was kind of appropriate because I was young, younger(laughs).
S- Do you think the music on the records is following the maturity of the band, or of yourself?
E- I think what happens is as you get older as a person, you personaly change, you move and then you have the way a band changes because the people change so, music is a very honest thing, so if you change, the music changes, it comes out of you so it’s inevitable.
C- Do you personally have a place, when you want to disappear from everything, you turn to?
E- Well, after having children it’s getting difficult to do that, but I guess it would be home, when I want to disappear I go home. And I like to spend time with the garden or go to the woods, camping with my friends, but I don’t, you know, it’d be nice to have time to disappear, I don’t have time.
S- But now, as a band, do you give yourselves more personal time than before?
E- Yeah, I mean when you are getting children, you have a new responsability, and when we signed as a band in 1991 we didn’t stop until 1998. You can’t be a father, you can’t be a husband, so now there has to be a little of balance, because you have a responsability, it’s important to have children grow up to be beautiful balenced human beings, so that means they need a father sometimes to find their way along so it’s all good
Projects.
C- How do you do it to be still together after all the years?
E- Because, first we love doing it, playing in a room together, playing music that we fundamentaly love, it’s a part of us. And second, we’re brothers, you know, like in a familly we don’t hang out all the time, but we’re brothers, there’s a lot of love behind that. But mainly we could be brothers but we wouldn’t have to do this, but the main thing is because we still love doing music, you know, we’re very lucky.
S- And it does happen that sometimes, you want to kill your brothers ?
E- Yeeeaaahh of course!
C- It wouldn’t be real love if you didn’t want it.
E- Yeah exactly!
C- What are your personal projects at the moment?
