hey what's going on with blender

do they still publish and stuff

yeah dogg everything's cool, taylor swift double issue next month

great mag, long may they run

someone posted about a blender rip, i assume they meant theyd ripped the last free blender cd but now i wonder if they meant something different

like maybe they tore their magazine?

fyi lisa kudrow is on the next cover

yeah that's what i figured--they were trying to figure out how to rip a cd using i tunes and then they ripped their new issue of blender, which is still publishing after all these years

or maybe someone ripped off blender, the popular in-print music magazine?

i can understand why, it's where i and everyone i know go for music news

a ripoff mag might do really well, if it's even half as in depth in its coverage of music and pop culture

maybe it was a thread about the software???

maybe someone meant (Rapid Isothermal Processing) for Rip blender b/c they got I Love Music confused with I Love Electrical Engineering

i just i guess im searching for other exlpanations because max's seemed kind of far-fetched. like, i for example, didnt even know 'blender' was a magazine

maybe someone was confused and thought their food processor was a blender??? and wanted to talk about the 'rip' setting????

i think we can all agree that we're happy that blender, the magazine, is still publishing

before i discovered blender was a fabulous music magazine i thought it was just something with pictorials of dudes in gabbneb haircuts

^^fyi those are called blended haircuts--i learned this by reading blender

i thought rip torn was having a party but it turns out i was confusing 'blender' with 'mixer'

um, lamp, blender is a magazine, its a famous and well-respected music magazine thats remained in print after almost ten years, despite the implosion of its own industry and the industry it covers

great cliche free writing in their reviews section

For more than a decade, R.E.M. have been something for Michael Stipe to do when he’s not busy mentoring Conor Oberst or Vespa racing with Mario Batali. Here, guitarist Peter Buck and bassist Mike Mills demand their wandering frontman come home and give a damn. Their 14th studio album is a fierce nostalgia­fest full of cascading jangle, candied power chords, lonesome harmonies, Southern-gothic protest poetry and roundhouse drum bash. It’s even got an overheated dance rocker celebrating “the end of the world.” If only Stipe had more on his mind than what cheesed him off last night on TMZ (Michael Richards, you’re a bigot!). He yelps about celebrity (hollow), the media (shallow), Los Angeles (lonely) and Iraq (ignored), sounding more like an addict than a critic. R.E.M.’s first fans loved them because they didn’t care about fame. He shouldn’t, either.

oh i only read about music on blogs and subway graffiti. still i guess ill check out that lisa kudrow issue im excited to see what shes been up to and i know shes got the album of boyz ii men covers coming up...

i heard she and boyz ii men are doing a version of smelly cat with john paul jones and rip torn

i thought lisa kudrow had died, good to hear both her + blender are still going strong

yeah man i roll my eyes every time i hear a college kid talking about some new hipster band's roundhouse drum bash. i was learning candied power chords when you were in short pants, punk! xpost

tbf the boyz ii men revival cant happen soon enuff and if blender can use their tremendous cultural influence and popular reach to make that happen then consider me a happy new subscriber

let's not turn this thread into a fierce nostalgiafest

I figured that Blender had merged with late 80s/early 90s hard rock magazine RIP, to bring us insightful writeups of Lita Ford, Wrathchild America, and Ugly Kid Joe.

o lonesome harmonies!

i <3 blender

i think that although it is sad that lisa kudrow has died, it is great that blender is launching its second magazine blender II with her memorial issue. it is what she would have wanted.

Q: What's Black and White and Not Read All Over?
A: A copy of Blender, which is no longer publishing (hence it being "not read all over"), mixed with "The Opposite of Sex"'s Lisa Kudrow, in a blender.

Blender is a color publication, brah--not sure why you think it's black and white

lol @ the idea that blender will ever fold--its the new yorker of the music world imo

the new yorker has never made a profit

what a coincidene, Blender also gives all its profits to needy children

pretty sure your thinking of people tracer

the new yorker has never made a profit--blender is a prophet, in terms of music

im dying here guys

omg max xp

now that updike has passed, it's possible that he was the new yorker's prophet

we now know the new yorker wasn't the messiah but perhaps blender is

Blender II: The Messiah

and, like the messiah, blender is immortal

"mentoring Conor Oberst"

TMI

mentioning conor oberst

menstruating conor oberst

frenching conor oberst

I'm putting all of your posts re: Stipe and Oberst fucking on "Ignoreland"

how's that workin out for you

exhuming oberst

exhausting oberst

exogenous burst

anyway... in summary, what i've learned from this thread

a) lisa kudrow is dead
b) legendary music and cultural magazine blender is not
c) boyz ii men were awesome (reaffirmed really but still)
d) tracer hand is a false PROFIT
e) what a truly great r.e.m. review looks like

don't forget forks getting fired

yeah, a moving company (rimshot).
