FEATURES
THE MOJO INTERVIEW
U2’s sonic scientist has just reanimated 40 of their classic songs: the latest experiment in six decades of tinkering, questioning, taking it all quite seriously. “Being in a band, we didn’t want it to be a trivial thing,” says The Edge.
BROAQDWAY MELODIES
That’s Muswell Hill Broadway, of course: the birthplace, or thereabouts, of THE KINKS , 60 years ago. Time for rock’s least orthodox band to help celebrate 10 of their key kompositions: songs of lust and loss, fragility and despair, that remind them of good times and bad. “The emotions are so powerful,” they tell ANDREW MALE . “So varied."
YOU GET WHAT YOU DESERVE
Dependable foil to “unhappy” Chris Bell and “unpredictable” Alex Chilton, mainstay of multiple incarnations of BIG STAR, JODY STEPHENS has kept the band’s torch alight with poise and positivity, alongside roles as Ardent Studio CEO and one half of Those Pretty Wrongs. All this and nearly the drummer in Wings? “Fm a cup-half-full guy,” he tells BILL DEMAIN
MOJO PRESENTS
Seems you can’t have a Grammys these days without AROOJ AFTAB, the transportational Pakistani singer melding jazz and Qawwali with spice of her own. But, with her star ascendant and a new trio album due, she’s wary of pressure on her to ‘represent’. “I’m not a pawn,” she assures VICTORIA SEGAL.
aint it acr punky now
A CERTAIN RATIO’s frosty Factory funk (and shorts) split the tribes of UK post-punk. But history and LCD Soundsystem were on their side. It’s over 40 years since their first single came in a “special limited edition of 1,000 on poor quality vinyl,” but some things haven’t changed. “We’re all crazy bastards, obviously,” they assure ANDREW PERRY
Mr. SONG
One of the last great star songwriters, linking Milhaud and The Beatles, The Blob and Austin Powers, Burt Bacharach combined sparkling sophistication with a devastating emotional range, turning melodies that taught the world to sing and still amaze peers and devotees. “Burt was in touch with the soul,” they tell Bill DeMain
MR INBETWEEN
FALLING BETWEEN STOOLSOF ROCK AND FOLK AND POP,
COVER STORY
WATCH THAT MAN
DAVID BOWIE’s 1973 brought two smash albums, spiralling success, and the first signs of the madness that might lurk behind the singer’s beguiling new mask. As Aladdin Sane and Pin Ups celebrate their 50th birthdays, Bowie's colourful comrades - and Lulu - remember a year of musical questing, cocaine and... betrayal? “We were like... ‘What the hell just happened?’” they tell TOM DOYLE
