Tom and Chris on ITN On Music 2009

This is a brief feature on the band's ITLAOTE album, which appeared on the ITN News Network here in the UK during the later half of 2009. It was originally released in three individual segments, and I believe from two different sources. I've assembled them all together here as one clip to make things a little more convenient.

This first part deals with the experimentation of E3, and the possible fan reaction to it. The second and third installments, which were both released as bonus material to the first video, deal specifically with the issue of file sharing and Tom's attitude towards it. Lastly, they're asked about Editors' inclusion on the Twilight soundtrack.

There's not many young men who could possibly carry off wearing a cardigan, without either resembling a pensioner or someone in an 80s indie jangle-pop band, but Chris can. Such is innate sense of style. Kudos, sir. Also, it's amusing to see him seemingly so enthusiastic about touring here, something that either changed over time or is actually present but  buried beneath the super glossy professionalism of his interview persona.

On a more sombre note, this is another chance to pay your respects to Tom's Touring Boots, which have sadly now been retired for good. May they rest in peace, they will be missed. Check it out ;)
