wheelco Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 interesting. no consensus music magazine... and I wonder who's buying the local papers these daysI get no music periodicals at all, but I do get the Columbus Dispatch out of habit National Geographic is my prime magazine -- always good for a few bovine pics Quote Link to post Share on other sites
quarter23cd Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 The only subscriptions I have are to McSweeney's and The Believer, which my wife refers to as "those weird things you get in the mail but never have time to read". My subscription is about up and I'm not sure if I'll renew just because its a bit on the pricey side. Other than that, I read everything online. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I subscribed to Rolling Stone for the 80s and the first half of the 90s. I couldn't bear some of the torrid swill that was being printed any longer and duely ended the madness. I did SPIN in the early 90s for a few years but thought they jumped the shark rather quickly, too, and cancelled. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Clouds of Fluff Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I forgot National Geographic as well. We also tired of RS a couple of years ago finally, and have been getting Paste instead as our "music, etc. reading fix". Anyone else get/read Paste? What do you think of it out of curiousity?

I have a bunch of Spin magazines from 1985-1991 - I was just looking at one of them last night. It was the first issue published after Bob Guccione, Jr. broke away from his father.

WilcoFan Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 None I can no longer find a music magazine that I want to read. I was buying Harp, but the articles all have "sounds like Neil Young" within the text somewhere - and they are too short anyhow. What about "Drifters and Ghosts Riders Monthly?" I think if you sign up this month they send you new free emoticons to your cell phone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lammycat Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I don't have a fucking cell phone, man.I'm willing to bet you and I are two of a very small number of folks on the board who do not own a cell phone. I usually pick a couple up when my wife gets knocked up, but I've forgone it this round. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jimmyjimmy Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Anyone else get/read Paste? What do you think of it out of curiousity?I like Paste, I'm not a subscriber but I should be. I think I've picked up the past five or six issues consecutively. I like the samplers, the travel contributor who's name escapes me and the book reviews along with the feature articles. I occasionally pick up MAGNET but find their album reviews a little lacking in substance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EL the Famous Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I still get Rolling Stone...mostly because my wife just renews the subscription w/out even asking me if I still enjoy it. I got Sports Illustrated for about 2 years longer than I wanted until I finally said something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I usually pick a couple up when my wife gets knocked up, but I've forgone it this round.I grudgingly bought a prepaid phone with minimal minutes before we went on a vacation this past fall. I've used it fewer than five times. It's still on its initial battery charge. So, technically I own one, but I might as well not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
quarter23cd Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 So, technically I own one, but I might as well not.I own one and use it all the time, but where I used to live my reception was so bad (tried a few different carriers) that in my daily routine the only places I could get a dependable reception were at work and at my house. Every day I had resist the urge to chuck the damn thing into the lake I drove past on my way to/from work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I'd like to thank Corey and Trevor for their support in this thread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
viatroy Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 ha! Which ones are CoreyTrevor. Wait, better not answer that. Best magazine I ever subscribed to: A Real Life -- no longer exists of course. Just barely a magazine, more like a newsletter and not likely to be of interest to many folks here -- it was for dirty hippies. Wish I had kept it, I'm tempted to get the back issues.

kathyp Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 None right now. I let all my subscriptions run out, as I've moved twice in the past five years. Regularly, or semi-regularly I read: HarpPasteUncutMojo (sometimes)BitchBustMagnet (but not so much anymore) Wow, I'm a clich Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jenbobblehead Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I read Boston's weekly alt paper front to back: The Dig.that reminds me. I do read the first four or five pages of the front section of the Providence Phoenix which is a weekly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
