mojo :: april 2005

(subscribe)

Mojo is slightly disappointing in April (and, as I write, the May issue is probably very close to out). There's big coverage on Joy Division and New Order on the 25th anniversary of Ian Curtis' death, which is a bit troubling since Mojo's sister mag, Q, has a similar story in the same month. However, there's a great inset story about the cover artist responsible for the classic Joy Division/New Order sleeves.

There's also a story on Count Ossie and the Mystic Revelation of Rastafari, progenitors of roots reggae. I don't know much about this area, and the article got me interested in learning more about this early Jamaican music. There is a new album on the way.

Not too much else of note. Let's get straight on to the reviews . . .

5-star reviews

Rod Stewart with five stars? Cancel your subscription!

The Mercury years include the groovy roots records (e.g. Every Picture Tells A Story) with Ron Wood, spawning "Maggie May", "You Wear It Well", and others. They deserve six stars! (Unless you're the Dylan/The Band hatin' type)
