Incredible book. Starts off like another novel about middle-aged techno-insecurity and then swiftly goes somewhere much more profound.
Psyched to find out more about the power of Bill Orcutt, Gwenifer Raymond and Billy Woods' online marketing empires.
Print music mags remain beautiful and valuable things, and it's my biased opinion that @mojomagazine.bsky.social is the very best of them. If you love music and great writing about music, we have a strong subscription offer right now - 3 issues for just £3: www.greatmagazines.co.uk/mojo-magazin...
Back from holiday to find this new @mojomagazine.bsky.social in the shops. Hedonism. Deceit. Heresy. Power. Sex and Depeche Mode. Plus 13th Floor Elevators, Robyn Hitchcock, Vini Reilly, Rush, Joyce, Bill Orcutt, Ry Cooder, Jack White, Dinosaur Jr and a CD with LFO next to Blind Willie Johnson.
An especially good month for great design in the new issue of @mojomagazine.bsky.social. Credit where due: Mark Wagstaff, Del Gentleman, Russell Moorcroft.

"Mick likes the new fashions. It's because he don't wanna get old..." Welcome back the irrepressible Rolling Stones, headline act in this month's rough and twisted @mojomagazine.bsky.social. Onsale June 16, but we have copies at our online store now: www.greatmagazines.co.uk/mojo-aug-202... 1/3
Plus that amazing CD of Can music, with plenty of rarities and deep cuts, to accompany an in-depth new interview with Irmin Schmidt. Print mags forever. Physical media forever. Halleluhwah! www.greatmagazines.co.uk/mojo-july-20... 3/3
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.
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
