Colin Greenwood entrevista !!!
"Aún habrá que esperar para un nuevo disco de Radiohead"
13/5/2013 Entrevista completa en el diario El Pais
Las noticias más recientes indicaban que se meterían en estudio al final de este verano. Pero Greenwood se encarga de desmentirlo. “No tenemos ningún plan. Thom está con su gira. Y dudo mucho que según la acabe nos pongamos a grabar. Aún habrá que esperar para escuchar un nuevo disco de Radiohead. No sé cuáles son nuestros planes, pero sí que, a pesar de este break que nos hemos tomado, todo está bien entre nosotros”. Ya que estamos, ¿cuál es el secreto para mantener el equilibrio en esa extraña democracia en formato de banda que ha vendido más de 30 millones de discos, lleva dos décadas de éxito ininterrumpido y cuyos egos están al borde de la colisión permanente? “Lo esencial es conservar la curiosidad. Mantener conversaciones como esta. Salir al mundo y alimentarte de otras referencias que te enriquezcan. Y después traerlo de vuelta al grupo, compartirlo con los chicos. Es lo que hemos hecho siempre. Y hasta hoy nos ha funcionado”.

Colin Greenwood is Global Ambassador of Children's Radio Foundation (#CRF), a charity using radio as a tool to empower young people across Africa.

Thanks Arico !
Hello and I'd like to let everyone know I'm off on an adventure to South Africa on Saturday. I've been working with a charity based there, called the Children's Radio Foundation, which works with young people in half a dozen countries in Africa to give them journalistic and broadcasting skills, and a voice to tell their stories. I'm going for 11 days to visit some of the places where the CRF is working with youth groups, hospitals and radio stations in South Africa. You can follow my trip HERE. I will be putting up some pictures, and blogging about the journey as I go along. You can see and hear some of the stories by following the Vimeo link, and Soundcloud too.
I'm very excited to be going, and I hope you will enjoy following my journey on the site. I'm working with CRF because I've always believed in the importance of curiosity, and I grew in a home that was passionate about ' Radio ', as a window to the world outside. In my day job as a musician, I've always loved travelling, meeting people, and making connections with them about all our lives. CRF does all of this this brilliantly, through its radio and journalism training. CRF informs and enlightens everyone's lives - the reporter, interviewee, and the listener, wherever they may be. I'll also be checking out some music too, so keep an eye on the site!

UK - Since September, Yamaha Commercial Audio Europe has been offering the chance to win an LS9-32 digital mixing console in its 25th Anniversary Facebook photo competition. But time is now running out, as the competition closes for entries at midnight on 1 January.
2012marks the 25th Anniversary of Yamaha bringing the first digital mixer to the market and Yamaha Commercial Audio Europe is running the photo competition in celebration. To qualify for entry, photos must be of Yamaha digital consoles in interesting or entertaining settings in use over the past 25 years and posted to http://www.facebook.com/YamahaCommercialAudioEurope,where an entry form and complete terms and conditions are available.
The company has also revealed the celebrity judge who will choose the winning photographs in January. Radiohead bass guitarist Colin Greenwood is an accomplished photographer, whose photos are regularly posted on the band's website.
"Colin has successfully combined the worlds of working musician and photographer together, so he is an ideal candidate for judging the competition," says Karl Christmas, senior manager, Yamaha Commercial Audio (UK)
"We have received entries from right across Europe showing consoles 'in action' in a wide variety of situations and which capture unique moments. I'm sure Colin will have a difficult job in choosing the winners."
As well as the winning image, whose photographer will receive a Yamaha LS9-32digital mixing console, Colin will also choose 23 runners-up who will win a Yamaha POCKETRAK digital recorder.
A special 25th prize will be chosen from the 10 most 'liked' entries published on Yamaha Commercial Audio Europe's Facebook page. From those 10, a select panel of audio industry experts will choose the winner of this prize, a YamahaMCR-040 portable hi-fi system.
"We have extended the deadline by 24 hours to give people the chance to enter photos from the many New Year's Eve events that will use Yamaha digital consoles," says Karl. "There is still the chance to take photographs of them in festive situations. The gratuitous inclusion of baubles, tinsel and party poppers is positively encouraged!"

Oct, 25/2011 DAS Children's Radio Foundation
"Radio is everywhere in the country, and it’s a great way to talk to a lot of people from all different situations.It was really great to do an interview. When you get to interview someone, you’re learning from them. And you’re also sharing with it many people on the radio, so we’re all learning." - Ceswa Mpandamabula, 15, Lusaka
The Children's Radio Foundation is a UNICEF backed project across Africa that I've recently become involved in. It's very interesting and inspiring to me, because it incorporates some of my passions; new and old media, radio and the internet, and how these technologies can be used to give a continent of young people a voice. There's more info on their site, and their soundcloud too. Check it out!
