i was emotionally blackmailed into getting a subscribtion for a magazine over the phone recently.

nothing really came to mind over the phone when asked which zine i wanted to subscribe to and i wasn't about to sit and have her read through the whole list, so i renewed a subscription i use to get years ago, it's been a delight receiving in the mail again. kind of like hanging out with an old friend again.

i wouldn't mind subscribing to something else, something worldly that seems to have it's pulse on culture and events. it's gotta be classy though.

i'm tempted by a couple of music mags, but i invest so much into things related to music already that i thought i should broaden my scope of things a bit.

suggestions?

ADBusters
Art World
Art Lies

Genre
Advocate

i use to read ADBusters a long time ago. Cool magazine, but i don't think it would be something i'd subscribe too.

SUPRMAN said:

yeah, this is a nice one.

maybe 20 years ago

Nah.....this one instead

i wouldn't mind reading one of these periodically, but i doubt i need a subscription to them.

ugh. yeah, i don't need anything to inspire me to spend more money. i use to subscribe to men's vouge and that was like a magazine dedicated to advertising. And it was rare to find a good article.

sinisterpentatonic said:

This one has good articles.....


and these are really good

yeah, Fader and Waxpoetics are my shit. i'm seriously considering getting a first class subscription to WaxPo.

sammij said:

um. thanks for the suggestion though.

"Genre" is now longer being produced. Try "Out" instead; it has a great complimentary travel issue that comes with it!

what the hell?

howzabout the new yorker? i love my neeyawker subscription. it makes for good transit/toilet reading.

Q Magazine is not bad

Anxiety said:

that's the one i bought over the phone.


37 USD!

and i already have four weeks stacked next to the toilet along with the Esquire how to be a man issue. i'm currently reading the brain games article. the Esquire will come in useful if i run out of toilet paper.

nah, i have a long list of music mags to subscribe to before that one. maybe if Kate Bush stayed active i'd think about it.

give us a list of what you do like since nobody has really hit it on the head for you yet

have you ever thought about publishing your own magazine, and then you'd have one you like that you could subscribe to?

BUTT magazine is pretty neat.

Based on the Coast To Coast radio talk show subject matter (The unusual, unexpected and unexplained.)
