The second part of the Stereoboard interview is up. Here’s two key excerpts from it.
Steven, talking about Porcupine Tree, the band has been dormant since the Royal Albert Hall show last year. What are your future plans with the band looking into next year?
Well, I have none to be honest. That is not to say that we will not get together at some point and do something but at the moment we are all doing our own things. I am having a great time doing what I am doing. I also have a record coming out next year with my friend Mikael (Åkerfeldt) from Opeth, the Storm Corrosion record. They are doing other things as well. We will get back together and we will make another record, I am fairly sure of that. At the moment, however, there really are no particular plans for Porcupine Tree.
[Emphasis added by me]
I noticed that you recently did a show with No-Man after a while of inactivity with that project. I was just wondering if you and Tim (Bowness, Steven’s collaborator in No-Man) have thought about doing another No-Man record at all.
Again, there are not really any plans. Tim and I get together at very irregular intervals to make records…I think it seems to be something like every five years or so. I guess that maybe in a couple of years we will actually be due for the next one! There are no plans but what I will say is that none of my musical projects are finished or over. For me it is nice to say that I have a number of creative outlets and collaborations that I can go back to at any time if I feel the muse is in that place. I have no plans to make records with any of these projects at the moment. That goes for No-Man, Porcupine Tree, Blackfield, etcetera. That is not to say that it will not happen though, not at all.
[Again, emphasis added by me]
So in other words, Steven just confirmed all non-solo stuff is on indefinite hiatus. It’s not as bad as news of an outright breakup, but it’s still pretty tough news to swallow. Although I’d probably have a much easier time swallowing the news if some Texas gigs show up on the list of second leg tour dates (hint, hint).

Hey all! As you may have noticed, activity on this blog is starting to pick up again (which, at least on my part is due to exams being over / having decent internet again etc etc.) and I just wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you all for sticking around and, as silly as it may seem, for reminding me that there are actually SW fans out there! (because I’m yet to meet one irl)
I also wanted to give a big shout out to all the other Steven Wilson (+his many project related) blogs which have been showing up on tumblr. They’re all brilliant (as you’d expect) and have probably been posting at bit more consistently than I have to boot (haha!):
and of course
sticksandtunes (who, despite not running an exclusively ‘Steven Wilson’ blog, still posts more and knows far more (especially of Steven’s shady 80’s past) than I could ever hope to! (linked is her ‘steven wilson’ tracked tag))
If you’re not already keeping an eye on them I suggest you check them out! (and if you know of / are a part of any others give us a shout, because I can’t think of any off the top of my head) Oh and finally, submissions are open as always, so if you want to suggest a post, make a request or just chat, don’t be shy!
Alright then, on with the show!

The definitive statement on the whole Steven Wilson and iPods thing. Reblog so people finally understand his full stance.
We’re lost in the mall,
Shuffling through the stores like zombies
Well what is the point?
What can money buy?
My hands on a gun
And I find the range,
God, tempt me
Well what did you say?
Think I’m passing out
