Stanley Donwood featured in Candy

Posted on July 31st, 2007.

Stanley Donwood is referred to as the fifth Radiohead member by Candy Collective. Could be a math problem, but as long as 2+2=5, who cares… Anyway, Candy issued its 8th issue with another interview with Stanley and some more artwork on display.

“I didn’t know about Creep, and I had very little idea about Radiohead’s sort of music. I was part of a different subculture at that time; the music I liked was characterised by the repeated emission of repetitive beats, very fast, and danced to in warehouses by an ‘audience’ who had taken a variety of interesting drugs. My artwork at the time was in the form of political flyposters and graffiti on disused buildings. Like I say, another world.

We work together as often as time permits. It’s much easier to work as a pair. When we do artwork individually it’s much harder to work out if it’s good or if it’s shit. By the way, there are only two classifications in art: good, or shit. It’s a handy rule to remember.”

There’s lots more than that. Candy is available as two pdf files. Be warned; they’re both over 40mb. Stanley’s interview is on the second one, but both files are worth checking out. Get them here.

for the record, ed is my favorite “person” in radiohead. i think he keeps the whole band from drifting off into cloud cuckoo land. but it’s fun to poke fun at him because musically he’s definitely the “fifth” member.

Probably a direct reference to the ‘fifth Beatle’ rather than the number of people in a band. Otherwise a journalist’s head will spin if he tries to refer to an extra member of the Polyphonic Spree.
