Those free MOJO CDs have some real gems.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:46am
The Oscar:

I still have so many Mojo CDs from when I worked in the music department of a major chain bookstore in the mid-2000s-- they'd give us first dibs on all the stripped copies from the previous month. Some, like the "Roots of the Sex Pistols" one, I'd probably have paid money for on their own at the time.

Yeah, I grab MOJO CDs whenever I see an interesting one at Times.

Here's a chilling thought: this time next year we'll all be reading "Best of the Decade" lists.
Avatar 9:57am
Joe McG:

I agree that MOJO continues to do these articles about rock dinosaurs ad nauseum, but it sells magazines, and they manage to slip in some articles about more interesting groups in there as well as good reviews and the occasional excellent covermount CD. So I'm willing to accept at this point that the Beatles or Dylan or whoever will be on the cover. @Oscar: Chilling!

Would like to see a monthly review paper covering all music styles. But no reviewer is to use cliches like 'Beach Boys style harmonies'. A little original thought. Always enjoyed Andy Gill's reviews in the Independent.
