How to buy
Kinks in Tokyo
Hardstuff (6th
Floor) Daikan Plaza Tower B i Tokyo:
"Heaven. On. Earth. My second-favorite in Tokyo, trumped only by Vinyl Japan. Before I even walked in here, I knew it would
rule, because they have a big poster from The Who Sell Out on the
door. Run by a mod who is obsessed with the Kinks and the
Yardbirds". ............ "If you start
talking, he'll educate you. Especially about the Kinks, I bet. Give this dude your
money, in person or online."
To reach Daikan Plaza Tower B, take the Oedo line to Shinjuku-nishiguchi and exit D5. Turn right---the building will be on your left, on the opposite side of the street, next to a 7-11. |

The Greatest Web Site
of All Time
This is a headline in The New
York Times presenting Mr. Scaruffi’s multilingual
Web site (www.scaruffi.com).
The website "has a list of the best rock
bands and individual artists — best guitarist,
best keyboardist, best male and female vocalist —
of each year since 1955." Morrell also
presentes this from Scaruffi's website: “Ray
Davies of the Kinks was certainly a far better
songwriter than Lennon & McCartney”. And then

"That felt big, almost unreal"
"I remember the first time I dared
feeling that we were really big. It was when Mick
Jagger commented on a chart by saying 'only Roxette
sold more'. Wow, you know - he knows us! I got the
same feeling recently when I was in London and was
awarded at the same time as Ray Davies from The
Kinks. That felt big, almost unreal," he says. |

"Well, I've been listening to Other People's Lives (V2) for six months
now, and all I can say is, "To hell with nostalgic
melancholy!" Lives is the best release that Ray's affixed his name to in
decades, and if the guy never releases another disc in his
lifetime, it won't matter. It's a magnificent piece of autumnal rock 'n' pop."

Ray Davies
becomes rock Icon
THE former frontman of the Kinks was

Davies accepted the award in person,
thanking his bandmates for their inspiration.
"It's always great to be able to accept things like
this for the guys in the band as well," he said. "They
were great. They were my muse."

'This award does mean a lot to me as it's American and The Kinks were banned from the US for four years at the height of our
career. I don't think any other group has been banned to that
extent,' Davies told ITN.
