PET SHOP BOYS
Nearly 20 years after West End Girls. The Pet Shop Boys influence on the head, heart and the dancefloor continues. Pat Gilbert meets Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe as they unburden themselves to Mojo with tales of high jinks with New Order, their fascination with Morrissey and how they turned Ozzy Osbourne down.
50 CENT
The biggest thing since the Beatles speaks exclusively to Charles Shaar Murray and shows that it's not all guns, Courvoisier and that Eminem is a very nice boy, really.
KYLIE
On tour with Oz's finest export since the Easybeats? It's not all frocks as David Fricke meets the petite, princess of pop and shows there's more to her than meets the eye.
GIRLS ALOUD
Because blondes don't always have more fun. The rise and rise of Xenomania as seen through the eyes of Geordie chavette Cheryl Tweedy. By Bill Holdship.
KEVIN AYERS
On life after Soft Machine, playing tonsil hockey with Nico and why Eno cheats when playing Cluedo. By David Katz.

"Now if only there wasn't that bit about the songwriting genius of Graham Nash elsewhere in the issue. Or another John Lennon story. Or the Shins story. Or the name of the magazine. Or anything else really."
Ned Raggett, please explain (one more time?) what's so wrong with Mojo?
