Editors - Inner View World Interview with Ed 20th Sept 2007
Got some spare time? Why not spend 9 minutes in the company of everyone's favourite sticksman, Mr Ed Lay. I always like listening to Ed in interviews, he's an interesting guy. This chat covers a range of topics including the origins of the band, his time in a shoe shop, musical influences and the reaction of the band to NME's description of Editors as "The gloomiest band in the world". Check it out ;)

editors-pinkpop-may-31st-2008-(complete
This is the complete and uncut audio recording of Editors at Pinkpop 2008. I'm pretty sure I ripped this from 3FM at the time, but I'm not sure. The biggest difference between this and the live streaming video of their set is that all songs are intact and it doesn't suffer from the violent stream stutter that the visuals did. If you'd like to check it out anyway, a well as see some interviews with the band, hop over to the Archive using this link:-
https://lemmingarchive.blogspot.com/2015/05/pinkpop-may-31st-2008.html
By 2008 the band were becoming experts at playing live, having already toured the hell out of The Back Room, perhaps to their detriment at the time, and then campaigning the An End Has A Start album. There's an obvious confidence and a belief in their abilities as musicians which certainly informs the songs and how they sound.
The setlist is designed for festivals, meaning that it's mostly "The Hits", but it's how they're played which makes Pinkpop 2008 so special. The way that this show was mixed means that you can hear some aspects of certain songs that you may not have been aware of prior to hearing them this way. I won't be deliberate and point every single one of them out, but if you're someone who listens to Editors a lot then you'll be able to spot the subtle differences. What I will say is that Blood passes by at 100 mph, Escape the Nest has a really dirty guitar sound to it, and this set has a really excellent performance of An End Has A Start.
Enjoy the music ;)

This is a concert that benefits not only from an enthusiastic crowd who know all the words, but also from good mixing. You can really hear the extra percussion during Last Day, and some beautiful small flourishes of guitar from Chris just after two minutes. There are little aspects of a song that sometimes get lost along the way, and they can really have an impact when you discover them again.
Enjoy the music ;)

editors-russell-interviewed-at-cruilla
Did I mention this was in Catalá? Not English? Good.
Provided by Hannah (thanks again, H), this is a brief chat with Russell ahead of Editors' show at Cruilla Festival last weekend. As you'll hear, this one is dubbed into the host language of the show. If any of you fellow Editors fans happen to speak this beautiful language as well as English, then I have a humble request. Could you translate the Q&A for the rest of us liguinstically illiterate souls and post it in the comments? I and others would be eternally grateful. I can make out Justin as a topic, as well as the continuing embarrassment that is our soon-to-be-departing prime minister receiving a King Leetch insult. Beyond that, not a clue.

editors-upside-down-teaser-video-january
If you were searching for reasons to be cheerful as we close in on the end of another week, how about this; the Black Gold Tour begins in Paris tonight, and we have this small promise of things to come in the form of a teaser video. The band had been in the Netherlands with Rahi recently and until now it wasn't totally clear why. This is 39 seconds of a longer clip which is scheduled for release on Monday 3rd Feb 2020. Upside Down, the last of the three tracks from the Jacknife Lee sessions, finally has a video all its own and it's on the way. For now, surrender to the anticipation of it all...

editors-darmstadt-highlights-broadcast
Up next is a German radio broadcast containing the majority, but not all, of Editors' set at Centralstation, Darmstadt on the 21st March 2008. The gig was visited by those pesky sound gremlins that occasionally show up, and this is unfortunately evident during the performance of Lullaby where Chris' guitar sounds as though it's ready for the list rites. The problems still aren't quite fixed by the end of the song and so Tom begins All Sparks on his own, before the band seamlessly kick back in after the first chorus. Professional musicians in the area, y'all.
The moments where it all clicks and things run smoothly are brilliant, particularly the versions of Spiders and The Weight of the World which sound crystal-clear and very big. A pity we didn't get the full show, because it's always nice to hear Camera and there was an acoustic version of PYHTTA. Sadly, the time restrictions on this radio broadcast means that stuff got missed, and the DJ enjoyed talking over the top of some of the songs just a little bit more than necessary. I've removed most of the chat (which is why some songs fade in/out) and also included the full version of Smokers which I got from a separate source. Enjoy the music ;)

editors-3fm-interview-with-tom-19th
You had one job, 3FM.
Found by Hannah (thanks again), here's Tom showing up on 3FM for a short verbal exchange on Sunday the 19th September 2021. The questions are posed Dutch but all of Mr Smith's answers are in English. This was all done as part of 3FM's "Top 999 of the Century" countdown, and as well as the Editors related talk there's details of Tom's own selections for that list.
Let me preface what I say next by stating that I love 3FM for the support they've given this group in the past. They've been a part of some amazing instances, so this isn't me putting them down in any way. Not at all, and I am smiling while I'm typing this.
It was great to hear Tom talking about Editors as an ongoing entity, rather than something he used to be involved in, which should help to dispel some of the separation anxiety between band and fans that's been creeping around of late. I realise that he was contacted to contribute to a specific subject, namely Editors' inclusion multiple times on 3FM's Top 999 run down. Still, the man has agreed to give you a small morsel of his valuable time and if there was something adjacent to the topic at hand that you just HAD TO KNOW ABOUT, you could probably be forgiven for being sneaky and posing an unrelated question or two.
If you didn't know any better, and you were using the fossil record or some extravagant carbon dating process, this interview could have easily been placed as having taken place at the start of the truncated Black Gold tour campaign. The questions centre around the longevity of the band, and how it feels to be so grumpy for 20 years (maybe not in those words, exactly). The major theme is that of being retrospective. The one subject that is avoided/overlooked is that of Editors' new album, which is the single most important piece of information connected to Tom Smith right now, in my opinion.
Then again, if you allowed people like me to dictate the interview questions for Editors it probably wouldn't make for good radio:-
Was Dream Dark as your Heaven a carefully constructed hoax or does that song really exist?
Was there a memorial service for your touring boots when they were retired from active live duty?
After all these years, can you finally reveal the answer to the question "Who's the Pilot"?
Can we listen to the Flood sessions for album 4?
Aside from my biased, gentle fan gripes this is still fun to hear. Enjoy this little shot of hope that 3FM provided.

SMITH
smith-and-burrows-the-tracks-of-my-3
Day 3 of Smith and Burrows appearing on the Ken Bruce show as part of his "Tracks of my Years" item. This was a fraught one. As I was setting up to record and waiting for them to appear, I had to sit through a sea shanty. A sea shanty, for goodness' sake. I'd rather eat other people's toenail clippings for a week than ever do that again. Somebody definitely owes me for my pain and suffering, and Radio 2 should expect a lawsuit at some point in the future.
Another day of great choices, with Andy picking something by Squeeze and Tom playing a track from a record I remember being seen as quite controversial at the time of its release. "What's the Frequecy Kenneth" from the Monster album by R.E.M. was the follow up to Automatic for the People, which had been a mainstream-dominating collection of songs. The postman could whistle tunes from that record. Monster, however, is more electric and dirty around the edges, and I think it turned a lot of the casual fans they'd picked up off. Which is fine, because it's still a great record. Plus, there were a lot of stories around and involved in that album and it's certainly a product of the culture that birthed it. The death of Kurt Cobain, Courtney Love, Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth doing guest vocals, the band signing a 25 million dollar record deal with Warners, a song about oral sex etc etc. Monster was scorned in some quarters on release but it's really worth checking out.
I'm collecting and posting each day as we go and then I'm going to do an upload on Friday which will have the whole week as a single clip. All officially released material has been removed, but the chat has been left intact. Enjoy ;)
