i love mojo. but i haven't bought it in a year and a half cuz they don't sell it where i live. it is probably the same though, so i would probably still love it. i saw tracks on the racks when it first came out, but it looked really boring. how is down beat these days? i don't think i even know what classic rock magazine is.

As long as we're talking magazines, I hear they're bringing back Creem. Will it suck?

Classic Rock is a uk mag that covers stuff MOJO is to snobby to cover.
Its a populist rock mag. But still has the likes of MC5 in it alongside Whitesnake or Rush or Maiden or whatever.

Usually not to my taste with whats covered but the reviews section is lengthy and really good.
Something the NME could learn from.

Uncut is sort of like MOJO, plus you get movies.

I forgot about Uncut. Though it's pretty much interchangable with Mojo these days.

I love Uncut. I love when those mags do single-artist issues. Was it Uncut who did the Dylan one? That thing was great.

I forgot about Uncut.

Uncut forgot about me.

The Mojo Psychedelic special is really really great! Tons of obscuro stuff. The Punk issue less so - blah blah blah charts were full of rubbish blah blah blah authentic blah blah can CARL BARAT save Punk or have BUSTED ruined it forever? Shut up, grandad.

Nope, Uncut is IPC (also home to NME) and Mojo is EMAP (also home to Q, Kerrang, Smash Hits, Empire etc). They have a bitter rivalry! ;)

Yep, you can only write for one or the other. Or, like me, write for neither.
