Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Available only as an iTunes download, this album collates some of the highlights from Fuller and Townshend's online radio show, In The Attic, broadcast from an Airstream trailer, with various guests dropping by to perform acoustic versions of their own or Townshend's songs. His pulling-power helps secure some sizeable names, particularly US acts keen to collaborate with a genuine rock legend: The Raconteurs, for instance, sound more than usually jovial alongside Pete on a frisky version of "The Seeker", with Jack White's cracked voice struggling to reach the higher notes. Wayne Coyne's hoarse upper register, by contrast, rather suits The Flaming Lips' rendition of "Baba O'Riley". Townshend also chips in solo versions of "Acid Queen" and "A Quick One While He's Away", while, elsewhere, The Magic Numbers' "Long Legs" is one of the more effectively downsized arrangements, their harmonies allowed to glow more brightly here than on the studio version.
