Interview with Tom and Ed on Radio 1 27th October 2009

Mr Smith and Mr Lay dropped by the Radio 1 studios to chat with Nick Grimshaw, on the 27th October 2009. Clocking in at a very pleasing 21 and a half minutes in length, it's all about the band's return to action after completing In This Light and On This Evening, and contains some excellent Editors trivia. What is Tom's recurring dream? What book did he buy Ed for his birthday? What did the awful scented candle they had on the tour bus smell like? All of this and the complex mechanics of sandwich making.

I said in the post I did yesterday that there was a theme developing the further into Editors longevity we get; that some of the websites I sourced some material from are gone now. With that in mind, there's a mention of the band's MySpace profile in this interview. MySpace. Do you remember MySpace, folks? Holy cow, I feel old. 

Back to this post. The interview included plays of Papillon and ITLAOTE, which I've edited out in the interest of not ripping off the band by giving away their stuff for free. Enjoy the chat, there's a lot of it ;)


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