This is Willy Radio doing a special on Editors and the new album EBM,
23rd September 2022 featuring chat from Tom, Elliott and Ben. It comes courtesy of The Archive's #1 contributor/conspirator, Hannah. Thanks again, H.
As part of
the show, they played songs from that record, as well as others from
different artists. However, to maintain the illusion that I'm something
more than a filthy bootlegger and curator of ilicit material, they've
been removed in the interest of not ripping off the band. The air sure
is thin up here on the moral high ground, let me tell you.
As with most of the interviews you'll hear around these parts, it deals
with the assembly of EBM and the circumstances that birthed it. It also
includes references to the major influences on its sound, and the
interview ends with Ben, Tom and Elliott giving their favourite rock
songs as a contribution to Willy Radio's "1000 greatest rock tracks"
list. You'll notice that Elliott's choice is not present in the
audio vesion, but I do have a litle bit of bonus material featuring
video of all three Editors giving their pick as well. You can watch that
using the link down below. Here's what they selected:-
Tom - "It's the End of the World as We Know It" by R.E.M.
Elliott - "Pictures of You" by The Cure
Blanck Mass - "Bad Year" by Iron Monkey
It's a measure of my enduring immaturity that every time I hear an ident
for the station by them saying "Willy!" as forcefull as they do, I
chuckle like an imbecile. Words can mean different things in different
regions of this crazy world of ours, folks, and I can only apologise for
my lack of social decorum. Enjoy the words ;)
