The only comment yet, but it makes sense:
Put the whole tracks up. How many sales do you think it will cost you? (second great comp in a row)

Yep, my bad as well - not "full" - I clicked and it was only 30 sec of each song. :/
But at least we will buy MOJO

At least you will buy MOJO.
They don't let me buy it ("We cannot accept your order!").

Roman,
I just purchased the one issue for delivery to the US here
http://www.newsstand.co.uk
I googled 'purchase one issue of mojo magazine' to come up with the above address.
The one issue with S&H cost me $16.50 USD (not that cheap, but worth it)
You might give the above a try.
Best regards,
Mary

I’ve just read Sylvie Simmons article/interview - it’s wonderful! She really writes so well, and LC is speaking about future album and concerts, and much more…

Yes, a very enjoyable interview and accompanying pieces. Just been listening to the CD, too. Nice to hear these youthful voices' takes on what are, for many of us, especially in the original versions, pretty much sacred songs - and 40+ years on at that. The rather stoned and strung-out version of Teachers by Cass McCombs works especially well, I think.

Can't wait for the magazine, Cass McCombs is really great, I think he has the best song of 2011, County Line:

Right now local stores only have a special edition issue of Mojo, and no March issue. I just ordered my copy and it's well worth the little extra for shipping!
It is worth it. You will love the articles Diana.

Tom - Bill Callahan's "So Long Marianne" is okay, but the song doesn't sound right without the desperation and momentum that Leonard infuses it with. Callahan's version has the laid back feel of Tom Rush's "No Regrets" (a great song in itself, but a style that is not really applicable to "Marianne").
I'm not totally sold on Cas McCombs yet. His version of "Teachers" doesn't do a lot for me, but then again it is a pretty monotonous tune in the first place. "County Line" doesn't particularly blow me away either, but I do like "Sacred Heart" (
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdQIOOXbhsc). I'll he seeing McCombs play live at the Union Chapel in March, as he's supported by Mike Heron of the Incredible String Band (who's the artist I'm mainly going to see!).
All good things, John E

Uh huh, I don't know about ordering - we are having all those magazines here in better newsstands and press bookstores (although with one month delay - so March issue is expected this or next week).
