A house

Not just about a girl in a band...

Today (January 28, 2015), social media reliably informs me that Robert Wyatt is 70, which seems a reasonable justification for reposting this long and, I hope, interesting transcript of an interview I did with him at home in Louth back in 2007, a little before the marvellous “Comicopera” was released.

British producer Kevin Nixon said musician just "passed through"...

The double LP was recorded in Brazil in 2005 and comes with DVD footage...

Ray Davies has been discussing his current relationship with his brother, Dave, and the possiblility of further Kinks activity. In a new interview with Rolling Stone, Davies said, "Over the years, I've been doing a few new tracks with Mick [Avory], our original drummer."

One bright Sunday morning, MC Taylor is driving through his patch of North Carolina, past New Hope Creek and the Eno River, over the Chatham County Line and the James Taylor Bridge in Chapel Hill, near the Haw River and the valley that he has meditated upon in song these past few years.

10" vinyl due later this month...

BB King has cancelled a number of performances after suffering a fall onstage at a show at the House of Blues in Chicago on Friday (October 3).

As AC/DC announce Malcolm Young's retirement and the release of a new album, Rock Or Bust, we look back at the life of former frontman Bon Scott in a piece taken from Uncut's December 2013 issue (Take 199). A street poet who’d been inside for ‘carnal knowledge’? A teenybop idol and hippy seer? A tearaway who swam with jellyfish and rode motorbikes naked? “A fantastic guy, a real human, so different to what people thought…” Words: Peter Watts _________________________
