So yeah, looks like The Kinks, who according to the BBC "had hits like You Really Got Me, Lola and Waterloo Sunset" are getting back together. Frontman Ray Davies confirmed to the BBC yesterday that they've been writing new material in preparation for a comeback.
That's more or less the entire story, save the fact that Ray is only participating pending the good health of his brother Dave (that's good) and also that Ray is currently working on an album of collaborations that may sound like "a mixture of Snow Patrol and Chuck Berry" (that's bad). He contains multitudes, that Ray Davies.
