Tom and Russell - International Music Feed 2007 (video)

As sure as time makes casualties of everything eventually, the version of this interview you're watching is now unavailable anywhere else. You can still watch a much shorter highlights form of it on YouTube, but the full clip vanished due to the channel it was originally broadcast on ceasing to exist. The International Music feed ran for 3 years between 2005 and 2008 before closing shop forever, but not before they secured this interview with Tom and Russell on the AEHAS campaign. Did you know that Tom used to play the trumpet as a child, and that King Leetch played the piano? It's a fact, folks.

Also, as you'll have see from the photo accompanying the video, this interview has the distinction of showing you something you don't see every day. We see his skinny wee legs on stage all the time, usually in black jeans, but how many times do you get a chance to witness the full majesty of Tom Smith's knees out in the daylight? Not very often. Sure, they may be well rounded people with feelings and opinions, nonetheless the sleazy objectification of Editors continues unabated here at the Archive. Tune in next week for a special close up photo-feature on Justin's wrists, as well as an in-depth feature on Ed's ankles (in and out of a pair of Converse sneakers). And don't forget, February is Elliott's Earlobes Appreciation month, with March being all about Russell's quadriceps. Saucy. Enjoy the chatter ;)


brought to you with lots and lots of lemming-love :) x
