....then someone please shove white hot pokers in my ears and make me deaf.
Evidently Radiohead are the best in the world but not the best in Britain....huh, wonder how they figured that one out?

10/03/2003 10:47:55 EST British Mag Names Radiohead World's Best
Radiohead was voted the world's best band at the annual Q music awards, chosen by readers of Britain's Q magazine, winning the prize for the third consecutive year.
But the band, whose recent album, "Hail to the Thief," has been praised by critics in Britain and the United States, didn't attend Thursday's ceremony, sending a video message instead.
The film was soundless, but in type at the bottom of the screen it poured scorn on the magazine for branding them "miserable." The short video ended with the line: "Radiohead aren't talking to Q."
Readers of Q had selected Radiohead over Coldplay, Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Blur.
Coldplay, also no-shows at the ceremony, had received the most nominations, up for best single ("Clocks"), best video ("The Scientist") and best live performers as well as the top prize. But they missed out in every category.
However, Christina Aguilera was on hand to pick up her best single award for "Dirrty."
"It's about time `Dirrty' got some love. Thank you to Q for recognizing the woman with the balls to make this video and loving every minute of it," the 22-year-old singer said, referring to the raunchy video that accompanied the song.
Other winners included Electric Six, best video for "Gay Bar"; Robbie Williams, best live act; Blur, best album for "Think Tank"; The Thrills, best new act; The Cure, the inspiration award for their influence on music; and Duran Duran, lifetime achievement

Only if you buy an expensive European luxury sedan to match his.

If only it were so easy......
But, for a modest fee I'd be willing to do some consulting.

Not cool, necessarily, but informed. I love Magnet -- it takes me forever to read, but it's only out six times a year, so I get through it.
I think it's a matter of Magnet hitting a lot of the bands I am or would be interested in.
Being snobby about magazines is asinine. If you think you're getting something from it, go for it. By the time I finish an issue of Magnet, I have a LONG list of stuff to check out for myself.
[PS, I know you were just kidding around, SPIN; I just felt like plugging/defending Magnet based on my own use!]
