"The Kinks start work on
comeback The Kinks have begun writing new songs ahead of a possible
reunion, singer Ray Davies has said. "We've started a
little bit of this and that," he told BBC News. But it is
too early to judge the quality, he said. "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.""

"Give
the people what they want" "Which in this case is a Kinks
reunion. My Globe confrere Geoff
Edgers has been slaving away for some months now
on a personal project, one which should warm the
hearts of anyone who ever swooned to "Lola"
or "Waterloo
Sunset" (or, in my case, spent years
searching high and low for a vinyl copy of "The
Great Lost Kinks Album"). To wit: With Boston
area filmmaker and all-around great dude Robert
Patton-Spruill, Geoff is making a documentary
about trying to coax Ray Davies and the other Kinks
out of hiding and back onto the stage. Failing that,
he hopes to get Ray on film. Failing that --
and Mr. Raymond
Douglas Davies has long been one dyspeptic rock
star when it comes to the press -- Geoff wants to talk
to the many and storied musicians (Sting, Paul Weller,
etc) who have been inspired by the Great Man."

"Ker-Splash! A tremendous geyser suddenly exploded skyward in the center of the pool. I looked down into the water to see a television set swiftly heading for the bottom like the doomed
Titanic. My eyes shot up the wall of hotel rooms until I spotted Ray Davies and his guitar-playing brother Dave roaring with laughter in front of several inebriated and astonished guests on their small second-floor
balcony."
