Ray Davies

Ray Davies is in the process of putting together an album of duets that revisits Kinks classics with very notable guests. Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi joined Davies in the studio to record two separate tracks earlier this year, along with Paul Schaeffer and the Tonight Show Band. Other artists expected to reshape classic songs from the Kinks include the Killers and Lucinda Williams.



Interpol's New Album

After a stint on Capitol, which released Interpol's third album, the sharply dressed group returned to indie label Matador - a journey chronicled on the opening track, "Success." It's about the foibles of fame and narcissism," says Banks. The new disc expands on the moody post-punk Cure sound Interpol mined on their earlier records, with more-commanding vocals from Banks. "It feels like Paul is owning the moment, in every which way, on every single song," says drummer Sam Fogarino. On the lead single, "Barricade," heavy, reverb-haunted guitar riffs meet driving drums. The poppy "Lights" lead into a final three-song suite, united by the sound of static that runs throughout. And as on Interpol's previous records, the mood stays dark. "I rely on certain themes because those are things I obsess over," says Banks. "Those being sex and alienation and fear."
