As many of our readers will already be aware bass legend Mick Karn was recently diagnosed with the advanced stages of cancer and as anyone who has read his new book will be aware (and if you haven’t you really should, see the review here), Mick has been struggling financially for some considerable time now and, in consequence, an appeal has been begun on his site to help to raise funds to provide financial support for his immediate family whilst he undergoes treatment. Given the circumstances we thought the time was ripe to re-run an interview from our archives to help draw attention to the aforementioned book and recently released album The Concrete Twin, both of which really deserve your attention. If you would like to make a donation you can do so here and, it probably goes without saying, that any support you are able to give, no matter how small, could make a big difference.

50 Foot Queenies
How the hell did we miss this then? They’re called 50 Foot Wave, they have been active for seven years (blimey we are late on this one - Ed), they are fronted by Throwing Muse Kristin Hersh they have released four EP’s – all of which you can currently get for free here - and they are bloody amazing. Ably supported by Muses bass player Bernard Georges and drum powerhouse Rob Ahlers they make some of the most visceral noise we have heard in an age and if you are as unaware as we were then check this out right now...

Led Zep Too
You will already be aware that we are quite fond of big single artwork available from Super Size Art (how could you not want a two foot plus square reproduction of ‘Gangsters’ by the Specials on your wall?). In fact the winner of our recent 'My Generation' artwork competition has inundated us with emails telling us how happy he is, but at the risk of looking like we have shares in the company (we don’t), we thought you might like to watch this stop frame version of Super Size Art creator Morgan Howell in full flow painting the cover art to Led Zeppelin II.

Going For The One
In 1995 Yes reformed its most celebrated line-up - Jon Anderson, Chris Squire, Steve Howe, Rick Wakeman and Alan White - and new studio tracks were recorded at Yesworld studios in California throughout the winter of 1995 and spring of 1996. They then embarked on a series of live concerts in March 1996 at The Freemont Theatre in San Luis Obispo, performing timeless classics from all phases of their career.
This is the first time all of these performances have be corralled together in one package (4 CDs and a DVD) with artwork by Roger Dean.
