Haha, oh well. She's adorable but a little oddball too. But maybe that's what's so charming about her. I hope she'll never be ruined/ exploided by the industry or shady figures.

I can’t really convey or explain how thoroughly happy I am to have Aurora’s version of events here

“Then I went to his house and forgot to order a hotel...”

This story just keeps getting more ridiculous. Add the fact that it involved a birthday party for toms’ daughter...

What’s next?

She's adorable but a little oddball too.

Agreed. I will add, she seems like pretty amazing people person. Watching her interact with her fans is pretty special and looks incredibly natural:




(lol, even the goth chicks dig her!)

A meanderingly thorough and amazing interview from 1997 was recently re-shared by The Face digitally, in lieu of a piece on their now cancelled London Design Museum exhibit.

It's the one with the photoshoot where they dressed up as classical composers.

Just a few highlights are them judging contemporary songs on whether or not they were "Chemically inspired" (of note Tom talks about writing Bill Drummond concerning 1987 and receiving a white fluffy hat in return), the state of their Orinoco Studio when recording the album, whispers of Ed's university afro, and probably the longest they've ever awkwardly fielded questions about their own drug use in an interview.

I've seen that center fold photo before, but never really digested it until now. I'm getting Wes Borland vibes from the photoshoot (especially the eyes). I'm starting to think they're closet Limp Bizkit Fans. Remember when they made fun of them last year on Beats 1 retelling old tour stories... usually admire those that you razz...

Any artistic significance to the Nosferatu type nails on Tom?


Lesson from this article: Drink with your peers and listen to music.

This one quote right there sums it all up for me about them.

Ed: ​“I think we are. Of all the dance bands. Doing something different. And interesting. We’re in this weird position of being in America and being seen as the leaders of the dance music explosion that’s happening there when most of the inspiration we’ve had has come from America, as anyone can hear on the new album. It’s ridiculous that they see The Prodigy and the Chemical Brothers as the dance music.”

Ah. But you’re not denying your importance any more, right?

“It’s not important,” says Ed, ruining everything. ​“I would never put much import into our music. I think the sound we popularised, which is a big one, is a good thing, but that’s about it.” The cumbersome shackles of modesty, once again, clamp shut around their conscience. So you blow their trumpets for them, tell them they are epoch-defining artistes, titans of all that is good and vital and visionary. And mean it. And feel like a right berk.

Modest, everyday guys having a huge impact on electronic music while keeping it low-key. I think this has been their unintented receipe for success for all these years. Not having a big ego is a pretty rare breed these days..

definitely. i think a big ego about it would have destroyed ed a long time ago..

probably the longest they've ever awkwardly fielded questions about their own drug use in an interview.

I love the descriptions used for the silence between question and answer "Men land on Mars"

Great interview btw, thanks for posting.

I remember reading a French interview a long time ago that someone translated, where one of them talks openly about drugs just to wind the other one up. Wish I could find it now!
