Judging by the c86 thread some others do buy this, great issue this month though. Article on van der graff generator, don't think I have heard anything by them but am intrigued now, any suggestions where to start if at all?

The cd is pretty good too, think I'll be buying some cd's as a result. Isobel campbell (who is playing solo gig at Bush Hall) and Mark Lanegan duet is great and new Belle and Sebastian sounds pretty good too. Even like the plan b song and will now have to get into the television personalities and neko case as I have threatened to for a while.

I am Mojo reader normally and their CD's are generally of high quality. I was tipped off regarding the C86 article. Was thumbing through Uncut on the bus and was uninspired by it to be honest.

It used to be loads better, seems to have fallen into the dylan/beatles/stones trap and is very biased to americana but I think its prob the best of a not that great bunch.

I subscribe to q (more and more mainstream every issue), mojo (like it but not enough new acts mentioned in it for my liking) and uncut and would probably cancel all 3 but always forget to and then see the dd coming out of my account.

i like mojo and uncut in theorybut get tired of their backward looking obsession with classic rock. i know that's what mojo is all about but i'm just saying i find it really irritating after a few issues. the last couple of years of covers look something like:

dylan/bowie/beatles/stones/dylan/zep/beatles/dylan/iggy/dylan/dylan/uk punk/beatles/bowie/dylan/new york punk/springsteen/dylan/doors/hendrix/beatles and dylan.

proabably

and what's up with fukken waterboys/warren zevon/paul westerberg gruff middle aged acoustic rock-lite stuff they keep trying to foist on everybody?

having said that, some of their cds are pretty good. especially the artist compiled ones that uncut did a while back. percy plant and *ahem* the eric clapton one were surprisingly good. as was the *AHEM* music that inspired dylan one.

Tis true. Looking back is an obsession with the monthlys these days What was the monthly produced by Sounds called? It's long gone but that was always a good read. Was it Vox or something?
