DECEMBER '06 NEWS UPDATE

OUT NOW! THE NEW 36 PAGE ALL MOD CONS SPECIAL

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Featuring:
Exclusive Paul Weller interview:
"We were two songs short and I went away into
a little room and wrote Private Hell, which I think is
a great song but that was pretty workman like; just
sitting there for two days hammering it out. Sometimes
those moments can be just as great to be honest with you."

Exclusive Rifles interview:
"I wouldn't say that All Mod Cons is the best Jam
album, I think Setting Sons is the best Jam album,
as it's got stuff like Private Hell and The Eton Rifles on
it, but what I like about All Mod Cons though, is that
it has English Rose on it, which I love. That's what I liked
about Weller's stuff with The Jam -
he wasn't afraid to write stuff like that."

Exclusive Rick Buckler interview:
"Vic Smith convinced Paul that it was ok to use
guitar overdubs: that there was nothing dishonest about it!"

Exclusive Dennis Munday interview:
"Rick and Bruce are often viewed as glorified session
musicians, generally by the uninformed hangers on,
and scribes wishing to suck up to Paul. Every fan
is aware of the part they played in The
Jam's history, and that's all that matters. "

All Mod Cons feature with contributions from Dennis
Munday, Simon Donald (Viz), Matteo Sedazzari, Brett
Ascott (The Chords, Pope), David Lines (author of The
Modfather, My Life with Paul Weller), Rich
Mitchell (drummer with Dogs).

Reviews:

Catch-Flame!
No Love Lost (The Rifles)
Shout To The Top (Dennis Munday)
As Is Now DVD
Plus previously unpublished Jam and Paul Weller photographs.

Hard on the Cuban heels of acclaimed issues celebrating
the New Romantics of the 1980s and the gods of Glam,
NME Originals proudly presents MOD, a 148-page

scene in the entire history of pop. Spanning five decades and
40 years, NME ORIGINALS: MOD features THE WHO,
SMALL FACES, SPENCER DAVIS GROUP and all the other
major '60s luminaries as well as documenting their influence
on their heirs to the bouffant and blazer, THE JAM, LAMBRETTAS,
CHORDS, SECRET AFFAIR etc.
As hardly a successful scene has thrived in the UK untouched
by the hand of Mod, discerning readers can also expect to
encounter BLUR, OASIS and OCEAN COLOUR SCENE
as we take that Bank Holiday scooter run with all the acest of faces.
NME ORIGINALS: MOD is out and totally happening right now!
