IN THIS ISSUEEditor“The ghost of electricity howls in the bones of her face” WELCOME to a very special issue of Uncut, as we celebrate Bob Dylan’s 80th birthday. As you might imagine, it’s an event that we’ve been working towards for some time. In fact, rummaging through my inbox, I’ve found an email exchange with Tom Pinnock from June last year, where we first discussed how we might mark this auspicious event. “Perhaps we should get to work now on a special Dylan CD,” we concluded. So approximately 10 months later, I’m thrilled to unveil Dylan Revisited – 14 covers of Dylan tracks recorded exclusively for Uncut alongside one previously unreleased gem from the man himself. If I’m honest, the period from January 7, when Thurston Moore sent us the first completed…2 min

IN THIS ISSUENational treasure“It’s cool to see the pictures where the fans are freaking out”SCOTT DEVENDORF BACK in 2001, The National were just a bunch of gawky Cincinnati transplants trying to get a foothold in New York’s resurgent indie-rock scene. Nervous in front of the camera, they asked a trusted friend – Scottish photographer Graham MacIndoe, who’d worked on design projects with bassist Scott Devendorf – to take their first professional press shots in his living room. “We were pretty awkward but we were super-excited that Graham was doing it,” says Devendorf today. “I really liked his style of portraiture – it had a very honest focus to it. He made us look cool in an unstylised way. We used the heck out of it.” But as The National’s star finally began to…2 min

IN THIS ISSUEWhat goes around…IN 1987, Manchester band Magic Roundabout looked set to take the indie world by storm. They sported leather jackets and bowl cuts, hitting a musical sweet spot somewhere between C86 and White Light/White Heat. “A great band,” remembers Graham Lambert of Inspiral Carpets, who played with them several times. “They had a cacophony of sounds and a lightshow straight from a ’60s psychedelic meltdown film. They could do one song for 20 minutes but they never compromised and I liked that.” However, with all seemingly to play for, Magic Roundabout never got around to releasing anything… until now.A mere 34 years after its recording, debut single “Sneaky Feelin’” is finally surfacing on Jack White’s Third Man Records, on appropriate rainbow-splatter vinyl.
