Says a lot about what this place has become, and the arsehole who runs it, that two men have been sentenced for racist posts yet both their accounts and the offending tweets are still live

Help! The next MOJO Magazine How to Buy covers Ike & Tina Turner, both solo and united. Got a soft spot for Simply the Best? Did Rocket 88 start everything? But which is their greatest LP (and why)? What would be your No1? I think this is gonna work out fine …

I've heard this new Necks album, Bleed, and if Open and Aether are your things I think you're going to be even happier than usual: thenecksau.bandcamp.com/album/bleed

Help The Big Disappointment compile MOJO's next How To Buy guide by telling us your favourite Ike & TinaTurner albums - both solo and together - and why you like them and we'll print your best responses in the magazine.

Yeah this is a good one.

This is excellent, and not just because I'm always happy to find another version of The Merry Golden Tree/Golden Vanity/Turkish Revelry. Shovel Dance Collective are related to the underrated, post-rockish Caroline, and it shows. shoveldancecollective.bandcamp.com/album/the-shov…

Try this: Melos Kalpa here are the late Tom Relleen (Tomaga) plus Agathe Max, Jem Doulton (Thurston Moore Group), Marta Salogni and David John Morris (Red River Dialect), and this first track from their LP reminds me of Duane Pitre's Feel Free. So lovely. meloskalpa.bandcamp.com/album/melos-ka…

Still quite proud of this one. Cooked up by Ted Kessler and I when the Editor was on holiday. He got back and we were the first story on the BBC News that lunchtime.

Definitely one of my interviews, but I think probably more interesting for what was unsaid rather than what was said.

My second cover story, and my first trip to the US, San Francisco and the redwoods.

If, as it seems, we’re talking about best frontperson, I’d at least like to add D’Angelo to the conversation. Not sure I’ve seen many better in the flesh.

Life advice: If you’re going to apply for a writing job, maybe don’t get ChatGPT to spit out your covering letter, let alone get it to entirely generate the news story we asked you to write. The number of people with near *identical* AI-generated applications has floored me.
