I was going to start a thread on this! When I was going through my magazines prior to chucking them all out in the move I was struck by the complete interest-void of one particular Q coverline: 'Dido: "I can be quite bitchy sometimes"' - I mean, a 10-page interview and that's the cover quote!

The Time Out quote used to advertise Cornelius: 'It's a wonderful journey. Enjoy your trip!' And they have the cheek to put an exclamation mark. Such cliche would have been laughed off the pages of a sixth-form mag by the sub-editor.

I've mentioned it before, but:

Doves- How They Became The New Radiohead.

Radiohead articles tend to get the most asinine blurbs. Take the Rolling Stone cover story for instance: "In Order to Save Themselves, Radiohead Had to Destroy Rock and Roll"
On the inside it says, "Making Music That Matters"
That's so aggravating!
