Acts mentioned in every article of [magazine / site]

Only a bit of fun... Bands and artists typically representative of music pubs and sites. Here are a few:

Wire - Derek Bailey, Stockhausen, Delia Darbyshire
Clash - Micachu & the Shapes
NME - Arctic Monkeys, some other very important, influential band
Pitchfork - Arcade Fire, Bat For Lashes, Kanye West

Wrong about Stockhausen BTW, Cage and Feldman are much more Wire's cup of tea.

I don't read Wire as much as I used to but Keiji Haino used to pop up with monotonous regularity.

Mojo : The Beatles

(xp) also, at one time, if Chris Bohn could fashion a way to shoehorn Blixa Bargeld into an article/ editorial then, by thunder, he would.

90s Wire - Caspar Brotzmann, DJ Spooky, David Holmes

ILM - Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Radiohead

That's... not the ILM I've ever read.

ILM - Beyonce, Bjork, Grimes

ILM seems to be all about IDM and free jazz ATM

Free jazz? Where?

Thankfully the prog obsession has passed.

prog obsession?

i spend my lonely hours pimping avant-prog shit to no response

Don't tell me you missed it! Was metal last year or the year before?

more like pro gob session amirite

The Wire still seems to namedrop Keiji Haino and AACM whenever possible.

they like a good Art Ensemble of Chicago too.

Ayler beats them all tho.

ILM: don't fear the reaper, hotel california

god the wire is fucking ludicrous sometimes. derek bailey for sure. AACM and john cage yes. fucking SUNN O))) jesus christ i got SO tired of seeing sunn O))) in every goddamn issue. the word "drone Metal" (with the fucking M in metal capitalized) as a descriptor of a billion bands even if the band wasn't remotely drone metal. scott walker. (speaking of the two, the scott walker + sunn o))) collaboration, jfc if there wasn't a match made up just to make the wire flip out in excitement). jackie o motherfucker. merzbow.

evan parker for the wire, too

spin: kurt cobain

rolling stone: the rolling stones

keiji haino for the wire definitely, xp

Peter Brötzmann too.

Hard to tell if you're trolling or not there marcos, but as a long-term reader of The Wire I'm struggling to recognize the picture you paint. Can't remember the last time they ran a story on Bailey, JOMF or Merzbow for example. and what about all the no-name artists who get reviewed and written about each month.

ha, i may be way off now anagram. i subscribed from like 2006-2009 and those names just felt ubiquitous. not that they ran a feature but they just seemed omnipresent in the magazine

I'd love it if ILM could regain its prog obsession

ILM - Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Radiohead

That's... not the ILM I've ever read.

there's probably a neil thread active at least once a week

The thread where ILXors fight to see who reads The Wire the closest

yes because we all care so much about this stupid magazine

The Wire's the only mag I subscribe to and read regularly but it's true, sometimes it feels like there's an editorial rule where they have to namedrop Bailey once every four pages.
