The day I heard the news, I'd only just finished reading the first volume of Ian Kershaw's biography of Hitler. It covers his life up to 1936, at which point he had been Chancellor for three years and had acquired near-complete control of Germany. Austria was next.

Someone just printed an article by Sigur Ros where they talked about touring with us about five years ago. They basically said that they hardly saw hide nor hair of us the entire tour, and that we were surrounded by staff and henchmen at every turn.

I can remember going to Jonny's party the night before, and of course everyone was quite nice, and I was extremely relieved to see that awful Meyers and McGregor pair weren't there.
