Brett Anderson, Bernard Butler, Ed Buller, Mat Osman and Simon Gilbert remember the creation of Suede’s debut single

Neil Young appeared as a guest on Howard Stern's SiriusXM radio show on October 14. During the 75 minute interview - which you can hear below - Young reiterated his recent proclamation that CSNY would never play live again, as well as his Pono digital music service, views on the Woodstock Festival and his upcoming new album, Storeytone. He also addressed his ongoing environmental concerns.

Iggy Pop has hit out against U2 for the way they 'gifted' new album Songs Of Innocence to all iTunes users – and praised Thom Yorke for distributing a solo album via BitTorrent. Delivering the fourth annual John Peel Lecture at the Radio Festival in Salford last night (October 13), Pop said: "The people who don't want the free U2 download are trying to say, don't try to force me. And they've got a point."

Weller on The Jam, solo and beyond...

I hadn't planned to write about the Necks show last night: plenty of other things to do; a review of Frazey Ford's album ready to publish; a sense that, after my previous reviews of The Necks, I didn't have much else to say.

Kate Bush concluded her run of sold-out 'Before The Dawn' shows at Hammersmith Apollo last night (October 1), with speculation that it will be "a while" before she plays live again.

At the conclusion of Se7en, his second film as director, David Fincher memorably gave us Gwyneth Paltrow’s severed head in a box. In many respects, he has been producing heads from boxes ever since.

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 _________________________

A portion of the famous Ed Sullivan Show set displayed during The Beatles' US television debut is to be sold.

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.
