One of the Survivors
Our friend, Alistair, over at Unpopular, recently published a wonderful piece on the often overlooked (IMHO) & under-appreciated Kinks. Read it here.
"The appeal of the Kinks also ties into that magical tension between mass production/acceptance and the outsider impulse. Ray Davies is a classic example of this, and for me it is what makes many of his finest songs so special."

ON/OFF - Mark Stewart documentary trailer
From August 2008, the documentary "ON/OFF: Mark Stewart - from the Pop Group to the Maffia," by Tøni Schifer, will be gracing selected cinemas and film festivals.
The film retraces the singer's steps and paths from the early days of The Pop Group right up to the present. Schifer, who followed Mark around for a full two years, has crafted a detailed, often intimate portrait of the artist, supplemented by interviews with Mark Stewart himself, Adrian Sherwood, Daniel Miller (Mute), Nick Cave, Mick Harvey, Doug Wimbish, Skip McDonald, Keith LeBlanc, Douglas Hart (The Jesus & Mary Chain), Fritz Catlin (23 Skidoo), Jon Spencer, Gareth Sager (The Pop Group, Rip Rig and Panic) and many others, plus live recordings and music clips. The DVD will be released by Monitorpop in october/november 2008. www.monitorpop.de
