🔥 UNITED TAKE ALL THREE POINTS!!!

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. This month, we map Joni Mitchell's 50 greatest songs and retrace her first creative steps, 60 years after her music entered the public domain. www.greatmagazines.co.uk/mojo-june-20... 1/3

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...

Check out my new cosmic jam band Universal Music Group

Really like this new Alela Diane record. aleladiane.bandcamp.com/track/califo...

I wrote about Rebecca Solnit, Public Enemy and the new Sturgill Simpson/Johnny Blue Skies album, sort of. Great record anyhow. www.mojo4music.com/articles/new...

Went to this, with slight misgivings. Was great.

Now you have your very own/Hegemonic system

Subscribers' copies of the new @mojomagazine.bsky.social landing today. Great cover shoot by Piper Ferguson.

California Girls

A world exclusive with Dave Grohl. Liz Fraser's first interview in 13 years. The Clash. Joe Jackson. Booker T. The Seeds. Jackie DeShannon. Courtney Pine. Sunn O))). Alex Harvey. Ichiko Aoba. Hiss Golden Messenger. Bad Company galore. Yep, we've a new @mojomagazine.bsky.social to shout about. 1/2

what’s the funkiest Beatles song

In case you missed it, there's a new Cosmic Tones Research Trio live EP just landed on Qobuz. Kelan Phil Cohran influence maybe more pronounced here, but it's beautiful all ways. www.qobuz.com/gb-en/magazi...

Yes it’s a good essay. But i also find it frustrating that pieces like this often seem to exist mostly to reinforce the beliefs of an audience who already basically knows or assumes they know this stuff, rather than engage an audience that doesn’t (how the latter happens in 2026 ofc I wish I knew).

One more week in UK shops for this issue of @mojomagazine.bsky.social (two covers; one mag) - which means only seven more days to get a hold of our essential Miles Davis & Friends CD. In the words of Sarah Vaughan on there (via Rodgers & Hammerstein), It might as well be spring...

Probably say this every year, but if you ever have the slightest inclination to try watching cycling on TV, absolutely the best place to start is with today's Strade Bianche race. And this year you get to watch the most exciting young rider in the world, whose name is genuinely pronounced Sex Ass.

The rest of the album doesn't quite match the description, but this single sure does. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAP3...

Ha this is great. Been playing it all day.

Sturgill Simpson dropped his new Johnny Blue Skies album, Mutiny After Midnight, overnight. All the definitions of boogie. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKHG...

Great compilation. Get it while you can.

What's your favourite album cover? Doesn't have to be your favourite album, just a cover you ever get tired of looking at.

I made a playlist of the Autechre (electronic) and Shane Parish (acoustic) song versions juxtaposed. @shaneparish.bsky.social

New White Fence is my favourite Tim Presley record in maybe a decade? First taste of Orange: whitefence.bandcamp.com/album/orange

I keep meaning to plug this Miles Davis CD that comes with the current issue of @mojomagazine.bsky.social. One of the greatest comps I've had the pleasure of sticking to the front of the mag.

This is a good one if you like SML etc: Devotional Fade by Matt Gold & Dustin Laurenzi (Laurenzi plays sax in Bill Callahan's band if his name rings a bell). dustinlaurenzi.bandcamp.com/album/devoti...

“We take life seriously..." @victoriasegal.bsky.social exceptional on Bill Callahan's beautiful My Days Of 58 for @mojomagazine.bsky.social. www.mojo4music.com/articles/new...

Here’s what Bob said to Paul after a trainwreck duet on “Sound of Silence”

The Analog Africa label has spent 20 years bringing us African scream contests, cosmic sounds of Cape Verde, Brazilian western soundtracks and Beninese vodou, now @mojomagazine.bsky.social wants to know your pick of their releases. Hit me with the what and the why and let's make this definitive.

One @mojomagazine.bsky.social, two covers. In UK shops now. Miles at 100 vs Punk at 50: take your pick.

Sometimes the most basic option is the best.
