Over the past week or so there were a lot of things that happened, here are just a few things I just wanted to go over.

The Universal sigh was released near the beginning of the week.  The physical copy of The King Of Limbs was also released around the same time.  Supercollider/ The Butcher was announced as a single to be released on Record Store Day in the UK, and there was a Q&A with Chieftan Mews.  Now Chieftan Mews mentioned in his Q&A, when asked about the meaning of IMS MENOO: “As some have discovered….Ims & Ers = Him & Her = He is & She is”,  “Moon Theory. HA!”, which makes me think that the band or at least Chieftan Mews might be aware of this website, and have still not denied there being more music. Plus these rumors have been on many other website as well.

Also in Stanley Donwood’s blog yesterday he said “We handed out newspapers, so one secret is out”, so I am wondering how many secrets there might be?  I think we will be able to download Supercollider/ The Butcher before too long, not sure if the download will be available before the physical release or not.  Keep in mind that the band referred to The King Of Limbs as a record and the Newspaper Edition as an album, and we are around 5 weeks from it being released.  And the website for The Universal Sigh states that there will be ‘more stuff but we haven’t thought of it yet’.

Japan

for a while I have felt the need to write something for our fans, I am very fond of japan and feel awful seeing what has happened since the earthquake and tsunami…
my friends in Tokyo tell me there are now big powercuts and though the city is still functioning there is a lot of re-evaluating going on. Tokyo the temple to light and power is something different now.
that such a fast paced hyperkinetic place can be brought to it’s knees is shocking even before the worries over radiation from the reactors.
it is hard to imagine how it must feel
to have witnessed such devastation by mother nature and so many dead .. and. I think a lot about the rest of japan and how it will rebuild itself. how much of a struggle and a leap of faith the Japanese will have to make.I’m told that in the rest of japan life is carrying on almost normally but rebuilding what has been lost is going to be a massive job.
I hope that the Japanese people we have met over the years are not freaking out, and I like to think the way japan comes out of this will be an inspiration to us all.
