The same week doctors advised Ray Davies to pull out of US tour dates (story), the former Kinks front man got good news on another front.  Organizers of the Meltdown festival have tapped Davies to serve as the curator for the week-long annual music and arts event at Southbank Centre in June.  Davies, saying he is 'thrilled' by the invite, looks forward to making it 'A bridge between the past, present and future.'  David Bowie and Patti Smith are among the past curators of the festival.
