    What MAGAZINES do you subscribe to ?

    "The Word" is an excellent magazine with stuff about music, movies, books, culture, dvds, interviews - really great writing and nice sense of humour. I also like "Uncut" for music and movie reviews and features. I used to like "Mojo" but it doesn't seem to be quite what it was. "Vanity Fair"...

    Why All The Fuss About Elvis

    Um, the very fact that he was the one who took rock'n'roll mainstream, as you put it, actually makes him the original rock'n'roll star, doesn't it? Maybe it was unfair that because he was white, good looking and had amazing charisma that he was the one who did that when people like Ike Turner...

    Why All The Fuss About Elvis

    It's just a shame he continued to try and (if you you'll pardon the expression in this context) flog a dead horse over the following years. "I Recall John Lennon" "I Haven't Forgotten Freddie Mercury" "I Can't Quite Place Jeff Buckley" were all much lesser works of art...

    Why All The Fuss About Elvis

    Personally I like "Tupelo" by Nick Cave and "Black Velvet" by...what was her name, Allanah Myles? "A Room At The Heartbreak Hotel" by U2 is pretty good too, and, although written six or seven years before he died, "Went To See The Gypsy" by Bob Dylan is very good.
