CMJ on Google Books

As noted in the SPIN on Google Books thread by Deric. You want youth/radio targeted ads, you got 'em!

Starts in the mid-nineties.

i have this weird suppressed memory that i wrote reviews for this magazine? did i? was there an ILMer who was editor there for awhile?

Pretty sure I still have a stack of these CDs in a box somewhere. Probably no point ripping them, I can get all the Optigonally Yours I need from the cloud.

I sold all my CMJ cds in a lot on eBay a few years ago for a handsome sum.

Found this in an old Washington Post article:

as chosen by a survey in College Media Journal:

1. U2 "War"
2. U2 "Boy"

I don’t think so, but I was an intern there (for a summer)!

Oh, D. Wolk used to be an ILMer.
