THE MOJO INTERVIEW • Squeeze's songwriting duo are back in harness, toting a rock opera they wrote in the '70s with an all-new album to come. Given their near-constant strife, it's a miracle. But as they insist, “the thing that always brings us together is the songs…”

WE'RE NOT WORTHY • Madness's Suggs on the everyday genius of Squeeze.

A LIFE IN PICTURES • Cool Cats: Chris & Glenn down the years.

SQUEEZE: THE JUICE! • The best of Difford and Tilbrook, by Pat Gilbert.

THE LOST BOY • DENNIS WILSON was The Beach Boys’ drummer, pin-up, alcoholic and chaos agent. He may also have been the group's other genius. In this extract from his new book on the band, PETER DOGGETT explores Wilson's tragic decline, and the extraordinary miracle it contained: Pacific Ocean Blue.

OH BROTHER! • While Dennis made Pacific Ocean Blue, Brian hatched Adult/Child – to be released, at last, next year

THE RISE OF THE TRIFFIDS • Out of Perth, Western Australia, David McComb's post-punk melancholics created intoxicating music of intense feeling. Now, four decades after their classic album Born Sandy Devotional, members and intimates remember high inspiration, heroin, a song on TV soap Neighbours, the wide open road and the world of late leader McComb. “Dave worked on his songwriting 24-7,” they recall. “It was the delightful adventure that we were all willing to go on…”
