A virtual scrapbook of stuff I'm reading and looking at on the net.

As far as the artwork goes, that was heavily influenced by the pictures NASA puts on their website. They have this great library of stuff online that we were looking at, and it coincided with Stanley Donwood’s experiments, throwing wax around…..Stanley is always in the studio with us when we’re working….He’s either in a little room adjacent or above us in the mezzanine, or in the shed at the bottom of the gully. He’s always with us, and we need him in that creative process. Not just for his artwork, but because he’ll say, “I know nothing about music, but that was fucking brilliant!” By being there, the music seeps into him. He listens to things the same we do, having it repeated over and over and over again. It gets in him, and the stuff in that—the mood of the songs—is conveyed in the artwork. He’s a receptor to that, and that’s great.
