Hi everyone. I’m sure this clarion call goes out a few times a year, but Mrs. Mickey and myself are downsizing, and one of the casualties will be my Mojo & Word covermount CDs. I have hundreds of the things, probably complete sets (though I can’t be bothered to check), but I think we’ve established in the past that there’s no “market” for them (for obvious reasons), so would anyone here want them, free to a good home? I’m in Essex, 10 minutes from the M25, prepared to drop off somewhere reasonably nearby, or is there anyone out there who’s prepared to come and collect? Cheers!
No Voting necessary – Your Favourite “free” CD
Essential Freebies from Word, Uncut, Mojo and Q. I’m not sure if we have been here before? You may have or recall some great covermount CDs that stand out from the mire? For me, these were some excellent albums in their own right:-
# Heroes Can Be Any Size: An Introduction to Jackie Leven, a promo release came free with March 2012 edition of The Word Magazine. # Uncut 2007 01 – Comets Ghosts And Sunburned Hands # Q – DCCCDII # Word – January 2010 # Uncut 2000 12 – More Sounds Of The New Ẁest # Uncut 2008 10 – Interstellar Overdrive # Uncut Unconditionally Guaranteed vol 7 (The Coolest Sounds From The Hottest Bands Of 1998) Can AWs recall any other essential ‘free’ CDs? (Sounds like an oxymoron).

New Mojo – King Crimson CD
The King Crimson CD with the new issue of Mojo is really very splendid, and I write as someone who has always found them easier to admire than enjoy on my infrequest previous encounters. The track listing is in the link below (the first track is missing its ‘Schizoid’ rather than some unreleased obscurity).
Mojo For Men
Having just seen a photo of the November issue of Mojo mag (Bowie headlining), I noted that not one single female artist is featured on the cover. Looking at the last few issues on their website it seems that this is not a new phenomenon; Kate Bush gets a cover story, but apart from that, looking at the last few months at least, female artists featured in any way on the front of the magazine can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Poor Laurie Anderson appears, but only in terms of “The Lou I knew”.
It’s a total sausage-fest*!
He’s Making A List, He’s Checking It Twice
Over on Uncle Wheaty’s Uncut magazine “200 Greatest Albums of All Time” thread, people are getting hot under the collar re. the pointlessness (or otherwise) of lists in general.
But without lists the music magazine industry (certainly the Dad Rock arm) would grind to a halt. No matter how much we may snort with derision when another yawn-inducing inventory pops up, we all secretly enjoy reading them and feel smug when our favourites are right up there with a bullet, or feign indifference when something we wouldn’t give house-room to is showered with plaudits.

Mojo now on Zinio
Just a quick post to let everyone know that Mojo is now available on Zinio. i’ve been waiting for ages for Mojo to go digital and i suspect i’m not the only one. Bizarrely I also found it cheaper to buy the annual subscription through my app rather than the Zinio web page. Miles
