This issue, we will be mostly... ...listening to
...playing Xbox One or PS4
Jake Bugg – Shangri La (out 18th November)
Mr. Bugg is becoming quite a regular guest on the pages of Wireless Magazine and we were surprised to hear he was recording a second album so soon after the first. If his newest singles are anything to go by though, we’re in for a treat.
...and a classic Lou Reed Transformer After you’ve gotten over the bad taste Halloween costumes, it might be best honour the sad demise of one of rock’s greatest icons last month by sticking on this stone cold classic for your listening pleasure. Bonus points for Ziggy Stardust backing vocals. 06
They’re finally here! What side are you going to take? It might be a while until there’s a decent selection of titles for the next generation of consoles, but if you’re having difficulty making up your mind in the mean time be sure to sure check out Gazz Wood’s excellent console wars article in this issue!
and... Football Manager 2014 (Out now) We’ve heard vague whispers about a game called GTA recently. Apparently it’s quite good but it pales in significance to the truly most addictive gaming franchise on the planet. That’s right; Footy Manager is back. Bring it on.
...going to see Queens Of The Stone Age (touring Nov)
The world’s greatest rock band remained quite quiet for a while, and there was
a long six year break in the run up to their current album. Now though, they’re back and making more noise than ever. You’d be a fool to miss the UK leg of their world tour.
...watching The Day of the Doctor (airs on 23rd November) To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who, the Tenth Doctor (David Tennant) will team up with the Eleventh Doctor (Matt Smith) to form a lethal coalition of boyish good looks. Oh and apparently they’ve thrown in some science fiction in there as well.
Looking forward to... The Xmas Break They don’t call it the most wonderful time of the year for nothing, when else is it socially acceptable to kiss strangers and be drunk in the daytime? What’s more, a lot of you will be returning home for free food and pampering. Cheers Jesus!
