why am i finding that so funny

Just a sign of the times, its got nothing to do with the fact of Economy, or that its a shitty rag filled with writers that are nothing more than wanna be writers that couldnt get into school. But the day of the magazine and newspaper are just about done. you will see about 10-20 others go very soon, and strictly do online issues

I really don't.

But even as much I am deeply in debt both to RS magazine and to the Boys for that photo shoot, it's gotta be said that a music magazine that fancies itself a serious publication should NOT be featuring cover shots of boybands with their pants around their ankles.

I liked Blender, but something else will take its place.

I had a subscription to Giant Magazine, and it really changed format halfway through. In the beginning, they had people like Ethan Hawke and Jack Black on the cover - they'd feature gadgets, clothing, music, movies, and such. It seemed to become a black magazine overnight: the ads all changed, the music reviews were mostly rap/r&b, and they focused more on the sorta "DUB" lifestyle.

Doesn't matter much, I usually only buy magazines when I'm traveling. They are too expensive! A few weeks ago I bought the new U2 CD for $9.99 . . . the next week they're on a magazine cover that is $4.99.

Since when was Blender a "serious music magazine"?

purplesweat said:

They tried to be, at least at first. Fucked it up big time though.

meow85 said:

I've been reading it for a while, I've never gotten that impression.

purplesweat said:

Hence the "fucked it up".

meow85 said:

I seriously don't believe it was ever intending to be serious. I've been reading since 2004 and I've never once thought of it as a serious mag. In fact, it seemed more of a mag that allowed celebs to goof off and be themselves in interviews and shoots.

My impression was that Blender never took themselves too seriously which I liked. It began as a spinoff of Maxim after all.

sextonseven said:

And someone asked me recently if Blender dying off meant something was also happening to Maxim?

Cinnie said:

I haven't looked at Maxim in a very long time. Anything is possible in this economy.

Why isn't anyone posting these gifs in the King magazine thread?

God help us, no more shitty top one hundred lists.

Say goodbye to "Genre" magazine too (for gays)!

It seems like it is also coming to be the end of newspapers as we know them too...
