David Bowie Is Exhibition

23rd March - 11th August 2013. The Victoria and Albert Museum (London).

After gaining prodigious access to Bowie's archive, The V&A have combined photographs, film, hand written lyrics and costumes in an attempt to catalogue the life and career of the revolutionary cultural icon.

Mods - The New Religion

The cover of Paul 'Smiler' Anderson's long anticipated Mods - The New Religion has finally been unveiled. This revelation, however, comes hand in hand with the bad news that the expected release date has been pushed back seven months, from February 2013 to October 2013. Despite this, Anderson remains positive, noting that he has "spent several years writing the book and interviewing the crucial people that [he] wanted, another few months isn't that bad". Good things may just come to those who wait.
