magazines

i also browse loads; all the music mags, sleazenation/the face etc, whatever else catches my eye. oh, and whenever i go to the central library here i read the nyrb and old copies of sight+sound (the other day i found mark s on pokemon 3 + harry enfield (not in the same piece though)).

side q: the other day my friend c was asked to give a presentation to some people who "are the kind of ppl who flick through the face in whsmiths but haven't heard of sleazenation". this led onto a discussion of the readership of style mags: we both agreed that sleazenation was more trendy than the face, but i claimed that id was further out than sleazenation, whereas c maintained that id was between the face and s.nation. anyone else have an opinion?

regularly : The Wire, Voetbal International
occasionally: Prospect, New Statesman, Vrij Nederland, Jockey Slut, Private Eye,

oh and also vegan society and soil association magazines (the soil association one is rub but you get it for being a member)

magazines are one of those things that i suspect are overrated, but don't know enough about them etc etc...

Hypersexualised, hypermediated environment? I see where all my time and money go now.

I had a subscription to donald duck. first as a kid and later again in art school.

I buy butt occasionally, whem I'm in amsterdam.

I read art magazines at my work but they don't have frieze there. so i buy that one sometimes, because most of the other ones suck. frieze has articles on playmobil.

vrij nederland is hideously printed/designed.

I have given up on all magazines as I have finally gotten wise to them - except for maybe The Wire and Sight and Sound (because they are useful). Guardian/Obs mags because they're pretty good adn i get them for free and then crappy celeb mags (your Heats/your OK!s) when I'm on a train/plane journey and want to look at pictures of celebrity g-strings revealed.

sometimes smash hits! good for free things. i found my delightful boy band inflatable pillow very comfortable indeed at glastonbury.

but books do rool the roost.

Not sure about the illustrated covers though, very novel and everything, but it doesn't really say anything about who they are when they're racked on the newstand.

This is my audition for tanya headon's new I HATE FICTION blog.

I also keep getting Jane magazine in the mail -- I didn't pay for it and I don't like it so it's kind of odd.

I've also been buying Jack, for the Jon Ronson.

Never: Wire, Sight & Sound.

What's a good magazine that's chock full of stupid things to make fun of, but not in too much of a self-conscious "hey, look at all this stupid stuff to make fun of" way. After school and work, my wife and I have no energy to do anything except look at Time Out and make fun of stuff in it, but there isn't enough stuff in it to make fun of.

Is there an American version of the magazine New Media Age?

Industry Standard? It's now online-only, though.

I read every issue of:

the London Review of Books
The Journal of Music (an Irish based magazine with brainy articles about music)

I read occasional issues of various shitey music mags. Currently I read The Wire, Word, Mojo, and Uncut, roughly in that order.

got the new maxim with nicole scherzinger

sweet

what do you subscribe to. i'm gradually turning back to them as i realize i seriously need reading material on the bus that doesn't put me to sleep (book + early morning bus-ride = coma)... frankly i find the state of magazines pathetic. the uk has both Total Film and Empire while we here in the us are graced with... entertainment weekly?? (rip premiere)

at this point im rambling. just tell me what you subscribe to so that i'll look into them and chance a subscription for myself.

mine:

wired
the economist
popular mechanics
the skateboard mag
thrasher

and considering getting a subscription to Interview.

New allure w leighton meester on the cover looking unreal as usual

Psychology Today comes out only once every 2 months and is full of obvious information you attain in Psych. 101, but with the thinking done for you.

"His scardiness of girls stems from the lack of women in his early childhood",
"When girl flutters her eyelashes, that mean she leik u"
"Introverts tend to be lonely l8r in leif"

I got more out of a single psych course (actually, 4) in college than I ever did in a year subscription to the mag.

WIRED magazine kicks ass
The Economist kicks more ass

I also read Thrasher and The Skateboard Mag tho I somewhat hate the editors of both. I like to walk the dog and look at the pictures... actual reading whilst walking is too shaky esp. w/ a german shepherd stretching your arm out.

I always enjoy Harpers and Game Informer.

today i subscribed to mother jones ($12/yr). their twitter stream has been fantastic.

currently reading issue #2 of slake, the literary mag out of los angeles (essays, fiction, poetry, great visual aesthetic, covers lots of cultures that *aren't* affluent-white).

I recently subscribed to Mother Jones too. I now have an account on Zinio. I can't decide if I like print or electronic better. I find Psychology Today boring too, I had mainstream psychology as a kid. My local newsstand has juicy stuff like "True Stories" that has more real people psychology, where you can think for yourself.

the literary mag out of los angeles (essays, fiction, poetry, great visual aesthetic, covers lots of cultures that *aren't* affluent-white)

the literary magazine for cultures that dont read or produce literary magazines!

anything that helps people (whoever they are) read more is fine with me.

got that sub to SPIN discussed in ILM. $5bucks is pretty irresistible for p much any magazine.

my current editing prof apparently wrote a couple articles in the last issue of Mother Jones, dunno what they're called tho.

I re-subbed to Harper's after not having a subscription for 2 years or so. Also got a subscription to Interweave Knits (a quarterly), and I am way too excited for the first issue to come. I have never liked a shelf issue enough to buy one but I just wanted to get fun stuff in the mail. I also have subscriptions to Nintendo Power (which is adorable/silly) and Wired (from Coke rewards points, lol).

i subscribed to harper's for a long time and then my interest kinda lapsed. but the last issue i read (the one with the article on the nonunionization/work environment at toyota) was excellent.

"the naked issue"

About 111,000 results (0.11 seconds)

i can't believe it's taken me this long to realize that Time Out has pretty much the same "theme" issues every year, falling on the same months

What are we reading these days? I am currently working my way through back issues of Dwell, House Beautiful...always read Vogue. Back issues of Vibe. Plus I got a bunch of Russian fashion magazines through Zinio. By the way, British Glamour is really good, I can't always get it in the states.

print magazines? nada

I didn't expect print magazines to be something I missed this much during the pandemic. There isn't anywhere to buy music magazines, with the rare exception of seeing Rolling Stone at a grocery store, around me anymore. We still have a (usually very excellent) newsstand about a mile from my house, but their typically well stocked music section is a desert with only a handful of remaining issues dated from April or before. It's clear that the other sections are hit too, I'm assuming imports are really tough to come by, but the music section seems to be hardest hit. Our local Barnes & Noble closed and, though I haven't been there myself to confirm, I'm told the other nearby branch quit stocking magazines completely.
