Many of the British mags are much much better than the American music mags. I don't even bother reading any of the big American music mags anymore. CMJ was the last decent one, but they lost it about two or three years ago. I recommend checking out MOJO if you haven't.
Does anybody read Q magazine?
I've picked up a couple of recent copies of this British music magazine - it's pretty entertaining. The cover stories and pictures leave a little to be desired, but the content is good - lots of capsule music reviews, several longer reviews, many articles of interest. One thing that has really engaged me is the way they draw in past music into the current discussion, showing the roots of many current bands. And, it comes out every 4 weeks (13x a year) and takes a while to get through, leaving that much less time every month to read about the upgrades I didn't konw I needed. Any opinions on Q? Have you found their assessment of new music valuable? Are there other magazines of the same type that you like better? Thanks, Kirk
