Steely Dan’s Donald Fagen combs over his new solo album, his legendary band and his future in the new issue of Uncut, dated December 2012, and out on Tuesday (October 23).
Fagen also discusses the perils of ageing, as well as why he believes women prefer his solo work to Steely Dan, in the interview.
Asked whether he considers his best work to be ahead of him, the keyboardist and singer says: “I do know I’m no longer interested in my past work. I’ll never listen to this album again.
“All of my past work, it’s garbage to me, see.”
Bruce Springsteen has written an open letter declaring his support for incumbent US President Barack Obama in the forthcoming elections.
Springsteen posted the letter on his website yesterday (October 17), addressing it to his 'friends'. He proceeded to state the reasons why he'd be supporting Democratic candidate Obama and wrote:
Kings Of Leon bassist Jared Followill says a new album will be finished early next year.
In an interview with BBC 6Music, he said: We are in the writing process right now and it's coming along pretty quickly. We'll definitely get into the studio but we you know we have no plans of finishing it this year but definitely early next year, so I think people should expect something from us sooner rather than later.
Blur are set to release Parklive, a live album recorded at this summer's Hyde Park gig in London.
The five disc CD and DVD set will come out on December 3. The entire audio from the Olympic Games' closing gig will feature on two CDs, while a DVD of the concert - which was shot on 12 cameras - will also be included.
The current issue of Uncut features a review of the lavish reissue of Peter Gabriel’s groundbreaking So album – to accompany that, it seemed like a perfect time to republish this great interview with the man himself, from Uncut’s July 2007 issue (Take 122). Gabriel joins Uncut for a look at his glorious career, and at those remarkable costumes… “You could feel the horror,” he remembers. “I thought, ‘Oh, this is exciting!’” Words: David Cavanagh
