Hitchens round-up
I thought it might be worth rounding up Hitchens interviews in light of his recent death. Always a fascinating man to listen to, I watched his Newsnight interview last night with some interest.
Each video notes whether it's part of a series.

Hopefully I will update this throughout the month, and create a new one for September, etcetera.
Also, a little late addition, Karl Hyde dancing all sexah, that man still got it. God I love that band.
The merit of hard listening
After several months of contending, me and Radiohead's album 'The King of Limbs' have come to an agreement.
Hours of listening have slowly grown my love for a a piece of music I dismissed at first as overly percussive; As only a great work can do, this album has challenged me to accept it, rather than welcome me with wide open arms.
I'm glad to hear the band return to their experimental mode. We all knew they could do great rock, but if there's anything Radiohead should be valued for it's their desire to evolve, experiment and create wonderful new soundscapes that capture your breath, heart and head.
