Excellent news!

Read new @mojomagazine.bsky.social for my homage to Gong's Flying Teapot and marvel at my lovely poster.

Remarkably, it’s the 30th anniversary of me joining the @mojomagazine.bsky.social team (I’m not just for Christmas), so this month I got busy with Musical Youth, Brother Wallace, Tamikrest, Analog Africa and Françoise Hardy - and that’s only about 2% of an extremely packed issue …

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

Maybe the govt should deny West a visa, maybe it shouldn't. The more troubling and widespread issue is that the stigma against antisemitism — and platforming antisemites — has all but vanished.

“I Am This Thing” is a commercial for human life (or mine at least) harvested directly from my brain and delivered to your ears, farm-to-table: enjoy! ffm.to/bx57oxq

Latest from me, and one of the most important pieces on Special Needs I've written so far: "In fifteen years of political journalism, I don’t think I have seen anything quite like this: a mad game of briefing, counter-briefing and official stonewalling." maybeimamazed.substack.com/p/why-the-po...

Your last chance on this one before I write the fucker

I'd hoped normal service might resume today. I woke up with a tight 600 words mentally typed out on the suspension of the US-UK technology deal. The subject line included a terrific pun. Then, I went for a walk in Sydney.

It was the last big weekend of the year, but it was the best and this was a highlight. I’m not going to say Bob Dylan is as good as Scott McTominay, that would be crazy - but he could definitely lob Schmeichel from the halfway line.

Suede were magnificent at the Royal Festival Hall last night - something really moving about a set that can include Disintegrate and So Young and have them both make perfect sense.
