Mojo Magazine I CAN SEE FOR MILES cd MUSIC MAGAZINES FLOURISHING IN TOUGH ECONOMY In what has to be a long-overdue move, someone has come up with a little mainstream competition for NUGGETS, the iconic collection of eclectic 60's psychedelic/punk/pop, and it is part of the suddenly in-vogue trend that Mojo has been involved with for years and years - putting a bonus CD on the front of the magazine. Gemmzine.com will be reviewing lots of these new magazines, and it should be noted that all four members of THE WHO are featured on variations of the Mojo cover...but few can collect them all at 9.99 in the U.S. of A. Well, maybe the hardcore WHO fanatics will do just that, but it is so interesting with both Ice Magazine and Discoveries Magazine gone and Goldmine Magazine, having absorbed Discoveries, getting thinner and thinner, that the British magz - and the fanzine are absolutely picking up the slack. Buy Mojo Magazine on GEMM MOJO's own hype for this issue states: FREE CD! I CAN SEE FOR MILES: 15 lost gems from America’s psychedelic underground! Including: The 13th Floor Elevators, The Red Crayola, The Music Machine, The Bubble Puppy, Lost & Found, The Chocolate Watchband and many more! THE WHO SELL OUT: Ready. Steady. Go!

JOHN MARTYN: When John Martyn passed away on January 29, the world of music suffered a tragic loss that prompted an overwhelming outpouring of tributes from fellow musicians and fans alike. MOJO’s Mat Snow fondly remembers his time with the shape-shifting folk magician, while Martyn’s friend Phil Collins remembers a true “one of a kind”. BAT FOR LASHES: Back with her second album, Natasha Kahn talks alter egos, cosmic dancing, Scott Walker duets and nervous breakdowns. MOJO’s Tom Doyle listens in. RAY CHARLES: Beware! Genius At Work!

Last Updated on Sunday, 12 April 2009 20:43 News New FANTASTIC FOUR MOVIE - read GemmEditorial to follow Written by Joe Viglione Tuesday, 01 September 2009 10:54 Sep 1 2009 12:14 PM EDT New 'Fantastic Four' Movie Is In The Works Fox announces franchise reboot right after Disney reveals plans to buy Marvel. By Rick Marshall At this point, there's no word on whether "Fantastic Four" stars Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans and Michael Chiklis will return for another go-around as the superpowered family of Reed and Sue Richards, Johnny Storm and Ben Grimm, respectively. Chiklis previously expressed some doubt to MTV News that he'd reprise his role as the rock-covered hero nicknamed the Thing. The presence of the Silver Surfer — a character introduced in 2007's "Fantastic Four" sequel — is also up in the air, though Fox has indicated a desire to spin the character off into his own solo film. Tim Story directed the first two "Fantastic Four" films, neither of which received particularly high praise or box-office numbers, despite the characters' long history as one of Marvel's most iconic superteams.
