I'll take this table of contents over Spin or Roling Stone. But still not worth the trees they chopped down to print it.
 
    With all the music print that is available online these days, I'm not sure why people bother to buy music magazines these days, anyway. Unless it covers some specific genre unlike anything already available online.

I like to buy magazines because I get the most reading done (that I truly absorb) either when traveling, or taking a good hour or two and sitting down at a table to leaf through, with a good cup of joe (outside preferably).  While I do scan the internet, my patience for reading full articles is not so hot.
 
 I don't think mags are the be all and end all, though, just the format I like.

 sweet jesus, what ever happened to Raygun? (I guess that wasn't for old people, though)

[markie]

I think for people who grew up reading paper articles it is much easier..... Perhaps that will change with the current generation.
 
 I find it difficult to read books online. I much prefer having print on paper.

only a discussion in the DC metro area could spin so quickly from art to politics, OK, that was *marginally* funny

We all want to hang onto our childhood somehow i guess...that would explain my non-functioning Fonzie record player.

I think you put yourself in the VH-1 pile by paying 60 smackers to see Lyle Lovett live.

 So he decided to start a new one, aimed at the burgeoning market of adults over 30 who buy music. Tracks makes its debut on newsstands Tuesday.
 Billboard's current Top 50 album chart contained 21 discs by artists who arguably appeal most to this group, including Rod Stewart (news), the Eagles, Bette Midler (news), Norah Jones (news), Toby Keith (news), Sarah McLachlan (news) and Barbra Streisand (news).
 
 
 That doesn't include discs by Ryan Adams (news), the Strokes or John Mayer (news), whose music â?? if not the names â?? should be familiar to older listeners.

Alas, I don't fall into this category.  I hate that at 36 I'm discarded to the "VH-1" pile, though I understand it as that's where most of my friends would land.  But Spin, Rolling Stone, etc., are not for me either.  I'm in this odd, indie middle ground.  I love it, but few reach me.  (Okay, I love Magnet, and am giving CMJ another chance.)
 
 
   

Despite the void of U.S. magazines trying to reach this audience, it's a thriving business in Britain with publications like Mojo and Uncut. Mojo is more focused on nostalgia and appeals to fanatics instead of casual fans, Light said.

Really?  I didn't know that about Mojo.  Glad I haven't picked it up.  I did pick up Uncut this month, and the stories are pretty varied, and record reviews hit quite a few bands I'd be interested in.  I didn't see that "VH-1" skewage... [/b]
