music magazines

[stonetoflesh]

What are your favorites? Please elaborate if you picked "other", or if you just feel like doing so...

 

[DJ B.K.]

I like Spin and NME. I don't subscribe to either but they are the ones I buy off the newsstands the most.

 

[nadroj1985]

I usually don't buy music magazines; there's plenty of good free sources online for music news/reviews/etc. like Pitchfork, Dusted, Nude as the News, and Piero Scaruffi's site.

When I was a kid I read Metal Edge and some other magazine that had Parade in the title

 

[blackwasp]

Rolling Stone is a complete joke. The quality of writing isn't even that great.

 

[cygnusx1]

I occassionaly buy MOJO , and I love Record Collector.

 

[Sign Of The Fish Burger]

I bought Rolling Stone in the airport this christmas on my 5 hour layover.
It was the only one there. Either that or a magazine that tries to tell me I am too fat, should starve myself and wear $1000 jeans

Spin, Hit Parader

Rolling stone sucks, they goooo wayyyy off , then you cant understand them

 

[Mr.Pious]

I read circus as a young naive child, looking back that mag has some of the worst writing to hit the english language since umm me.

 

[TheDandyMan]

The New Yorker has two pages about music once a month sometimes....

Miles Davis liner notes require lots of hefty reading, though.

i'm not going to vote, because i haven't really looked at many of those mags. i've looked through a couple Rolling Stone's, and i don't think they're as bad as everyone says. just like mtv and vh1... no one does anything but whine about how mainstream it all is these days, and how much better it used to be. it's impossible for any mag or tv station to cater to every idividual's music interests.

sure, most of what's in Rolling Stone doesn't interest me, just like i don't like 90% of what's on mtv, but if they have interesting interviews with a band or artist that i like every once in awhile, ride on.






besides, reading poisons the mind.

 

[The Shasta]

Why is Revolver not in that list? It's one of the most grossing music magazines...

 

[KristianJ]

I'm more likely to read musical instrument magazines like Guitar One and Guitar Player, since they profile the guitarists, whom I tend to be more interested in reading about.

Hm Magazine.

I like Guitar mags .......... my fav is Guitarist .

 

[ps139]

Relix is the only one I really read. Also, I have lost all respect for Rolling Stone.

 

[puppy]

q magazine, i used to buy melody maker and nme but not anymore

 

[gig]

PASTE magazine, which I can only get when I'm in the states. I like the international coverage, highlights of indies, design/layout (good sampler cds, too). It's just well-written ... even addictive.

Most of my music reading happens online-- Brainwashed, Aural Innovations, Ptolemaic Terrascope, Head Heritage, etc.-- but there are a few magazines I like:
Grooves: Experimental Electronic Music, Magnet, Ptolemaic Terrascope, and a bunch of "musician" magazines (there's another thread for this in the "Let's Jam" forum here...)

 

[Alexis OCA]

I picked other. I only read my old 1970s editions of CREEM.
