From the mind of musician Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave, The Nightwatchman) with art by Scott Hepburn (Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic), Orchid is the tale of a teenage prostitute who learns that she is more than the role society has imposed upon her.
Each issue features a new song by Tom Morello.

The Johnny Cash Project is a global collective art project, and we would love for you to participate. Through this website, we invite you to share your vision of Johnny Cash, as he lives on in your mind’s eye. Working with a single image as a template, and using a custom drawing tool, you’ll create a unique and personal portrait of Johnny. Your work will then be combined with art from participants around the world, and integrated into a collective whole: a music video for "Ain’t No Grave", rising from a sea of one-of-a-kind portraits.

Liam Gallagher has just announced that he will never go to Glastonbury again. His main gripe is that the sound systems are way too quiet. We think he may just have a point, it seems to us that sound systems are getting politer each year and it won’t be long before they are done away with and all songs will be ’performed’ via the art of mime, or possibly just sign language.
So here we are with some friendly advice for the organisers of these large outdoor events. If you can’t turn it up to a decent volume, why not tell people beforehand exactly how quiet it is going to be and reduce the ticket price accordingly? The bands will no doubt have to charge a smaller fee, but £10 or £20 pounds to stand in a field and hear your favourite band play at a level your Mum would be happy with will feel like much less of a total rip off.

Right, that's most of you covered, apologies to those we've missed out ... ok, so here are two tracks for your listening pleasure:
Supercollider and The Butcher. We released these as a limited edition 2 track 12inch vinyl to mark Independent Record Store Day last Saturday, April 16 ... so in case you missed out and didn't get a copy here they are.
It's a thank you for being SO supportive of what we do ...
p.s. This is not part of a new loyalty points scheme, a Radiohead clubcard or even an air miles redeemable reward type thing...
It is just a big old-fashioned thank you!
Hope your Spring/Autumn is good.
Ed, Colin, Jonny, Philip & Thom

FYI... 'The Butcher' was recorded and mixed during 'The King of Limbs' sessions, but we couldn't make it work on the album; 'Supercollider' was started during those sessions and finished off in March of this year.
Here’s what happens: by touching the string lightly while it’s vibrating, you cause it to come to rest at that point you’re touching. This results in another node, as shown above with the second harmonic. Touching the string at the 7th or 5th fret can make the third and fourth harmonics, with higher numbers of nodes.
But if you touch the string someplace that does not result in equal segments between nodes, no harmonic is produced and the string stops. This is simply math. Guitar players can tell you all the spots where harmonics can be produced, even if they don’t care too much about the math and physics behind it. (Some of them care though!)

When you pluck a string, you set up a standing wave, with stationary nodes at the nut and bridge. When you fret the string (i.e. push it down with your finger), you change the distance between these nodes, and it changes the note.
The 12th fret is exactly halfway along the string, and when fretted there will produce a note one octave higher than the unfretted string. (For example, the top string is generally an E, and the note at the 12th fret is a higher E.) The 7th fret is 2/3 of the way along the string, and the 5th fret is 3/4. These special frets are usually marked with pearling or with some dots.

Guitar pickups work by electromagnetic induction, so let’s talk about what that is. If you have a coil of wire (a copper coil is illustrated above), a magnet passing through the coil will induce an electromotive force (EMF) in the coil. This EMF will cause an electric current to flow. (Incidentally, this is also how electric generators work.)
This concept is called Faraday’s law of induction, discovered by Michael Faraday. The EMF is equal to the time rate of change of the magnetic flux through the coil. Magnetic flux means the amount of magnetic field per area per time. Said plainer, this means changes in the magnetic field will cause some kind of current.
