ON page 94 of this month\u2019s issue you\u2019ll meet Jelloman. There is, of course, a yarn attached to his colourful alias. But for the purposes of our story, his real name is Paul Vile \u2013 and when we meet him in downtown Philadelphia, he\u2019s telling us about his elder brother Kurt\u2019s single-minded pursuit of music. \u201cOur dad took us to his old house and opened up his closet,\u201d says Paul. \u201cAll these seven-inch records spilled all over the floor. My dad gave me some random toys he had, but Kurt got all the records. He became a complete music nerd from that moment on.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

ON page 94 of this month\u2019s issue you\u2019ll meet Jelloman. There is, of course, a yarn attached to his colourful alias. But for the purposes of our story, his real name is Paul Vile \u2013 and when we meet him in downtown Philadelphia, he\u2019s telling us about his elder brother Kurt\u2019s single-minded pursuit of music. \u201cOur dad took us to his old house and opened up his closet,\u201d says Paul. \u201cAll these seven-inch records spilled all over the floor. My dad gave me some random toys he had, but Kurt got all the records. He became a complete music nerd from that moment on.\u201d<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll find plenty more on the power of music elsewhere in this issue. Earth, Wind And Fire\u2019s Ralph Johnson, for instance, explains how their celebratory fusion of jazz, blues, gospel, soul, funk, R&B and disco carried a deeper purpose: \u201cThe idea was to lift up your fellow man by way of the music and the messages in the music. There was a higher calling.\u201d<\/p>\n

Or Tori Amos, who reveals how her rapturous songs are guided by her ever-present Muses. \u201cIt\u2019s a calling,\u201d she tells our new recruit, Kate Hutchinson. \u201cI\u2019m a lioness, so I hunt for frequency and how to tell the story.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then, of course, there is our cover star, Tom Waits, for whom the transformative nature of music has been a guiding principle for five decades. \u201cWhen you\u2019re at one of his shows, you can tell there\u2019s more going on than just a concert,\u201d says Beck, a longstanding admirer. \u201cThere\u2019s something theatrical, somewhere between Samuel Beckett and burlesque, with a carnivalesque invocation of the strange. He seemed to inhabit the spirit of some of these older forms of performing, but with a modern sense of the absurd.\u201d<\/p>\n

As ever, please let us know what you think about the issue (and this month\u2019s spiffy covermount CD, compiled by Kurt Vile). Please also take note of our new email address for your letters: uncut.ed@kelsey.co.uk.<\/p>\n

And if you haven\u2019t already spotted this elsewhere on the site, Club Uncut \u2013 our former live night from the late \u201900s \u2013 is making a comeback. You can find all about our first official show at London\u2019s Third Man Blue Basement venue here<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
