Björk, Nas, the French House music scene and a beguiling tribute to the work of Alan Lomax are among the highlights of this year's BFI London Film Festival. Watch the trailers below.
Bernard Sumner looks back to Joy Division and his childhood, and forward to upcoming New Order work, in the new issue of Uncut, dated November 2014 (Take 210) and out now.
The Replacements are reportedly planning to record a new album, their first since 1990's All Shook Down.
The reunited Minneapolis group, fronted by Paul Westerberg, even have a bunch of new songs ready for the projected release, according to Rolling Stone.
Two titles that Westerberg revealed are "Are You In It For The Money?" and "Dead Guitar Player", perhaps a reference to the group's original lead guitarist, Bob Stinson, who died in 1995.
Friends, family and collaborators shed light on Leonard Cohen's working methods and creativity in the new issue of Uncut, dated November 2014 (Take 210) and out now.
A month, perhaps, of surprises. On the rather intimidating new Scott Walker and Sunn O))) album, there appears to be a joke about Michael Flatley's testicles. Somewhere in the elevated aesthetics of Kate Bush's Before The Dawn, there's an equally dubious comedy routine that hinges on the punchline, "HP and mayo, it's the badger's nadgers." And then, just as we were finishing the new issue of Uncut (out today in the UK, as you may have seen), a U2 album suddenly materialised in iTunes, a bullish play to reassert them as the biggest pop group in the world.
