NEWS DIGEST: Wednesday, November 5

The Kinks' Ray Davies has told the BBC that the band have tentatively begun working on new material. The news follows months of speculation surrounding a possible reunion.

"We've started a little bit of this and that," he said. "But it is too early to judge the quality. It depends if there's good music. We want good new music. I'd like to do it as a more collaborative thing than we used to do."

Davies is currently working on an album set to feature the likes of Chuck Berry and Razorlight's Johnny Borrell.

The saga continues...

Nathaniel Mayer, Detroit's soul and r&b pioneer died on Saturday (November 1) in his hometown following a series of strokes. He was 64.

Mayer entered the Top 40 in 1962 with his hit Village Of Love, but soon disappeared from view, resurfacing in 1980 to record Raise the Curtain High. A full comeback wouldn't take place until 2002, his final album, Why Don't You Give It To Me? (featuring members of The Black Keys, The Sights and The Dirtbombs) being released via Alive-Naturalsound Records last year.

A full obituary will be published in the next issue of MOJO.

Neil Young has made a new documentary film, entitled Linc Volt. The movie charts the nine-day road trip he made from California to Kansas in his beloved 1959 Lincoln. Young now plans to race his favourite car, now fuelled by ethanol, across the States in the X Prize Foundation's cross-country marathon drive.

  • I am sooooo Dissapointed...

    Ray Davies the Ultimate Outsider, as he called himself, the supreme non-conformist is working with a man like Borrell who 'took drugs because John Lennon did'

    Obviously a man with no mind of his own and therefore the supposed antithesis of a genius like Raymoind Douglas Davies...

    It is a sad day...
