• MOJO PRESENTS
  The loss of her father and an ugly, post-Glastonbury pile-on were big enough challenges for BILLY NOMATES. Then came an MS diagnosis. A third album of soul-baring post-punk pop proves she won’t be cowed, but she’s still baffled by the feedback. “People call me radical for my hair being a bit messy,” she tells JENNY BULLEY.
• MATES’ GREATS
  Four albums that helped inspire Billy Nomates’ Metalhorse.
• WRITTEN ON THE WIND
  In 1975, a songwriting genius mired in existential crisis, pushing pens in Motown’s LA office, came out of early retirement with an album that invented a whole new genre of soul. Fifty years on, SMOKEY ROBINSON approaches UK shores with a live show based around the “languid intimacy” of A Quiet Storm. “I was like a prisoner in a cage of my own making,” he tells ANDREW MALE.

THEIR LATEST MAY BE MAD!, BUT THE MAEL BROTHERS, IT TRANSPIRES, ARE ANYTHING BUT. “WE CAN’T THINK OF ANYBODY IN THE SAME BOAT,” THEY TELL DAVE DiMARTINO.
• “IT REMINDED ME OF A TWISTED CARTOON THEME”
  When Halfnelson/Sparks’ demo fell into TODD RUNDGREN’s lap, it found the perfect champion. “I don’t think anyone had listened to it,” the maverick muso tells MOJO.
• THEY THINK IT’S ALL LAVA
  Despite power cuts, destroyed film, and the group’s initial indifference, PINK FLOYD AT POMPEII has grown into a crucial document of the band at a crossroads. In 2025 - restored and remixed - it looks and sounds better than ever. Even NICK MASON thinks so. “We had no concept of how good it was,” he tells JIM IRVIN, “or what kind of impact it was having.”
• “IT’S ALMOST LIKE WATCHING A DREAM”
  Floyd “superfan” STEVEN WILSON on a lifetime of loving At Pompeii, and his new mix.
• THE RISE AND FALL OF READY STEADY GO!
  Pop music was boiling over in 1963. But where could the hip viewer see it on British television? Enter revolutionary show Ready Steady Go!, where the sounds, fashions and attitudes of the mid-’60s tumult went nationwide with help from the Fabs, Motown, Stones, Who and more. Then Top Of The Pops stole their thunder. “We booked who we liked,” say the movers and scenesters. “It was like, ‘Hey wow, we’re on TV!’” On your marks… The Weekend Starts Here.
• Uncommon People
  Thirty years since their Glastonbury ’95 apotheosis, and 24 since their last album appeared to call time on their recording career, PULP have a new album and a new lease of life. An art pop anomaly in thrift store drape, with an original take on the human comedy, they survived obscurity, fame and disillusionment to enjoy arena-filling vindication. Now it’s clearer than ever: there’s nothing like them and there never will be. “Pulp has always mutated and now it’s mutated again,” they tell IAN HARRISON.
