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.

Ray Davies please remember to tell showbiz agent Paul Charles or all other agents that they have to remember the Tahiti festival in Kristiansund when setting up new dates for the postponned concerts. Why don't you take with you your brother Dave? The air on Nordmøre will do him very good (and you too). God save the Kinks and everybody else. 161006 kaa

DAN MORRELL Published: October 15, 2006
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 we all understand the headline in The New York Times.

Per Gessle, Roxette:
"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.

Bill Sherman:
"the best release that Ray's affixed his name to in decades"
"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."

The stroke that put a Kink in my life
"
Here, ..... Dave Davies talks for the first time about his illness and the long haul to recovery"   .....   "I’ve put a lot of work into my new voice but it’s still posh. I’m about 92 per cent back to normal now — the doctors have been amazed. But I firmly believe that my yoga, meditation and spiritualism helped me to recover."
