Wow, I never heard of those. What are they about?

Entertainment Weekly is a US Magazine covering all aspects of entertainment plus interviews and such!!
Q Magazine and Mojo Magazine are the 2 UK primary music mags
The Word and Uncut are similar to EW but UK-based

And of course, u must have been living on another planet all your life, not 2 have heard of Rolling Stone!!!!!

I love Rolling Stone. Trust! I just want to order new magazines for my prison library and expose the inmates to magazines from left of center. Like if you want to get into film making you read this, if you want to promote concerts you read this, if you want to sell art, you read this and so on. I know my org wont let me down!!!!!

Hell, if you wan to write a novel or something, is there a magazine they can read???!!!

waxpoetic is cool. a year or two back, they had a cover story on betty davis and i was on cloud nine from the first word to the last syllable of that article.

Thanks!

Wax Poetics, for sure.



I liked Scratch before it died.




I liked US magazine in the 90s when it was a monthly and had serious interviews, Q&A styley. Now it feels like a tabloid.

I feel that EW used to be serious, but now its somewhat jumped the shark and they're not as critical as they used to be. For example, I just got their latest issue, and I'm gonna type of part of a gushing review that one of their columnists gave to the new 90210 show




It's stuff like this that makes me not think of EW as a serious entertainment mag. anymore. Also makes me wonder how old the lady who wrote this review--Miss Diablo Cody is. She doesnt look like no teenager...just cant fathom a grown adult loving the remake of 90210 especially since the original was sooo much better.
