My favourite album of 2026 has made it to streaming. Start a revolution, watch it begin... open.spotify.com/album/3YdXVC...

Gangs Of New York (2026)

Sad news about Sleepy Doug Shaw. One of my favourites from his Highlife incarnation highlifehighlife.bandcamp.com/track/tuareg...

Busy day for decent records but I think this Kurt Vile one is my personal favourite.

Cannot stop playing this.

Great news: new SML intlanthem.bandcamp.com/album/sponta...

This is a very beautiful record. Niblock Hooker Soldier First, Paiva River Songs. davidfirst.bandcamp.com/album/paiva-...

Heatwave behaviour

Happy Birthday Bob Dylan. This morning I found this from my first Bob gig: Phoenix Festival 1995, supporting Suede. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHqV...

No idea why Tuchel is getting all the hate over his squad selection. Toney's experience playing in half-empty stadiums under an authoritarian regime could prove invaluable.

Morning Bluesky!

bring back snobbery and gatekeeping

Rewatching 30 Rock and I think this is still possibly one of the best constructed jokes in anything, ever.

Out today.

Truly struggling with what should be Number One here. Ridiculously consistent (and vast) catalogue.

Thank you

What a CD. www.greatmagazines.co.uk/mojo-july-20...

An absolute blockbuster of a @mojomagazine.bsky.social this month. A world exclusive McCartney interview. A Can CD compiled for us by Irmin Schmidt. With a little luck, in UK stores Tuesday 12th, arriving for subscribers sooner, and available from us now: www.greatmagazines.co.uk/mojo-july-20... 1/3

This Thurston Moore/Bonner Kramer album is a beauty. bonnerkramerthurstonmoore.bandcamp.com/album/they-c...

How’s this?

First time I ever went to the US, the PR (his first time there, too) hired a convertible and drove us over the Golden Gate while we were playing this on the stereo. 34 years of nagging shame I've never got my shit together to repeat it myself. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANXe...

Very keen to get Will Oldham picks from more of you, not least because a bunch of my personal favourites haven't really been mentioned yet...

Our next @mojomagazine.bsky.social How To Buy guide is on the best albums by Will Oldham, Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Palace Brothers etc. Tell me your favourites - and why - and I'll use the best quotes in the mag once I've worked out what the Top 10 should be. It's going to be a hard one, I reckon.

Absolutely fair play to The Tubs for covering Metallica and somehow sounding even more like Richard Thompson and Bob Mould than ever. Great band. thetubs.bandcamp.com/album/fade-t...

I'm basically running an SML family fan account at this point: www.youtube.com/watch?v=u34-...

Orcutt Shelley Miller just now.

Out today!

Here's the CD that comes with the new @mojomagazine.bsky.social. Includes a Fairport Convention version of Both Sides, Now I didn't previously know existed (thanks, Ashley Hutchings!). Julie Tippetts singing Cotton Avenue (as amazing as it sounds). And Roberta Flack's great semi-lost Midnight Cowboy

Last night we were talking about whether The Necks are getting more emotionally intense, or if our emotional response to them was intensifying, and decided probably the latter. But this morning, thinking about Causeway on Disquiet, maybe it’s actually the former?

The Necks at Cafe Oto. Every time is the best time.

Take a break at the Cactus Tree Motel, shower off the dust, and settle down with @mojomagazine.bsky.social 391.

Couple of new Pulp songs streaming here. A Johnny Cash cover (interesting) and Marrying For Love, which is excellent. pulpmusic.bandcamp.com/album/the-ma...

With the possible exception of The Necks, maybe Neil Young, I must've written more about Hiss Golden Messenger in the past 20 years than any other artist. This is one more good reason why, and why I interviewed Mike for his first MOJO feature this month. Shaky Eyes... www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aeml...

Randomly reminded this morning how much I like this Fleet Foxes song. fleetfoxes.bandcamp.com/track/sunbli...
