at times, i think they do a better job than half the real music mags out there. the end of year issue has some great stuff there. shame they didnt bother covering the albums in their end of year top 20 more throughout the bloody year though, rather than just at the end of it. as for kanye west being number one album though, ummmmmmmm, no.

TO LOndon is passable in this respect. I miss TO :(

I hate that prissy "royal we" writing style.

ToNY had some good music writing with Gail O'Hara, and then Elisabeth Vincentelli, were at the helm. Stephin Merritt in particular wrote great reviews, which invariably ended with him mercilessly insulting the artist.

SF should have it, it could be a 5 page monthly.

Definitely great writing and good perspectives, aside from the hip hop coverage, which is annoyingly predictable. I just let my TONY subscription lapse though.

I heart Mike Wolf at TONY.

Bob Bannister rulez, bitches.

i wonder what miss o'hara is doing now... is chickfactor still going?

― phil-two (phil-two), Friday, 7 January 2005 05:50 (twenty years ago)

I think CF is finished. I'm totally biased as I've had many a byline in TONY but I do think it's a good mag w/a good section and I like Wolf and Jay Ruttenberg a lot as people as well.

yeah actually it's been forever since i read it but i was gonna say it has mr. matos's byline (and i like yo' writing, fule, have since i lived in chicago).

I'd say TO London is the only magazine with which I've had a good relationship as a contributing writer, even though restrictions on freelance budgets mean I appear there relatively infrequently (ditto HKM and Peter Watts of this parish) bah humbug. John Lewis is a good editor to work with.

hi dere! [6 months and not counting any more for yrs truly: but who needs paper and ink, right? i'm an *internet journalist* now]

― henry k, Friday, 7 January 2005 11:37 (twenty years ago)

their hip hop coverage is a bit weird/typically liberal. am baffled they gave the kanye west album the number one album of the year rating. i mean, WTF? then you have idiots like franz ferdinand talking about kanye being the future in terms of production and sonics when you have people like dizzee and wiley in the same country as them. deafos.

That's right, Bob Bannister is on there too. Bob = super good

― Drew Daniel (Drew Daniel), Saturday, 8 January 2005 11:05 (twenty years ago)

sharon o'connell is always great

― stevie (stevie), Saturday, 8 January 2005 15:54 (twenty years ago)
