Is it responsible for the proliferation of subpar roots influenced music all in the name of alt.country or am I missing the point of all the campus radio station hippies using it like Playboy?

And I am refering to the Mag not the album.

You mean reading it for the articles?

or using it like playboy i.e. for wankery?

i have only read a few articles (haha). the magazine seemed like a grumpy old man. every article had one mention of how popular music has strayed from its roots. where do these roots begin? at one point, every style of music was new. what, exactly, is the year they believe music died?

Don't we wish.

Find me examples of this "every article had one mention of how popular music has strayed from its roots" in the current issue. Cite page nos.
I think you're just being an ass. Should an alt.country mag be talking about Dirrty and Work It?
It's a niche mag for a niche that happens to be not so niche-y right now. That's all.
Like would you get upset with Modern Golfer magazine if they kept talking about how golf carts take the walking out the sport?

There are Neko Case nudie fotos on the web. Not that I've searched for 'em, but I've seen 'em.

*Ahem*

Seriously, I don't find her to be all that (haven't heard her music), but I guess some guys and gals think she's the beezkneez and like Donna Summer "hot stuff" and all.

I've never read No Depression, but Horace Mann is OTM.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Tuesday, 10 December 2002 21:01 (twenty-two years ago)

I would think he's OTM but thats the defensive stance I was predicting before I posted the question.

"It's a niche mag for a niche that happens to be not so niche-y right now" sums up my (admittedly ignorant) view of ND.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Tuesday, 10 December 2002 21:51 (twenty-two years ago)

How should it react to no longer being a niche?
You can just assume its a generic magazine in it position if you want.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Tuesday, 10 December 2002 22:15 (twenty-two years ago)

defensive satnce pt. 2:

you must be clairvoyant to predict an offensive missive would result in a defensive stance.
because alt-country isn't as "underground" as it never really was, does that mean ND is no good anymore?
Have you ever read Living Blues?
