What magazine(s) do you read?

[andy2002]

By the time it makes it to NME it aint new.. what's wrong with the interweb? Best source of new music in the world. ever.

Don't have time to trawl the net for new stuff, unfortunately. A ten minute read of NME on the train home occasionally throws up something worth investigating.

 

[dylanredefined]

Mens health
nursing times
soldier magazine because we get it free

 

[Flavour]

none... used to buy a videogames magazine called Edge years ago, and have gone through phases with several music mags but cant be arsed anymore, too expensive.

I haven't read a magazine regularly since the days of Zzap 64 and Commodore Format.

 

[BadlyDrawnGirl]

Every month without fail: Q; Uncut; Mojo; Word; The Wire

Every week (mostly without fail): NME (even though it's fallen a long way)

Occasionally (if there's something decent in it): Record Collector; Computer Music; one of the new ones that appears for a couple of months then dissolves (e.g. Raw; X-ray; Bang; Burn)

Lest we forget, now-defunct former regulars: Melody Maker; Record Mirror; Sounds; Vox; Select; Hit (existed for about five months in 1985, similar to RM, free EP introduced me to the Mary Chain so respect due )

Now-defunct occasionals: Muzik; Ministry (mostly out of desperation, as they were on the whole pretty dismal); Sleazenation; Face; Sky (not into 'lad's' mags at all but this seemed more intelligent than most and without Loaded-esque fucknuckled machismo)

And finally, Empire - used to be one of the finest magazines around, but is IMO now literally unreadable.

vice

It's written by a bunch of barleys.

 

[metalguru]

Word

Mojo and Uncut - but one bad issue of obviously recycled material will put me off for a bit.

The free magazine with the Evening Standard on Fridays - mainly for Toby Young's restaurant review.

Wired - it's a bit like a US version of the New Scientist.

Oh and am I the only bloke who likes to read women's magazines?

You're not the only one who reads them. Whether you're the only one who likes them is another matter.

All the ones I've read are quite sad if you ask me.

Oh yeah, and Viz of course.

 

[Lava]

Private eye and viz.
Also any girly mags my sister leaves lying around, heat/glamour/etc.

 

[lucy5]

Too many. Just bought another 3 now.

Q
Mojo
Glamour, Cosmopolitan, New Woman, More..

and tonnes of other girly magazines which all contain the same things every month. I love it.

The Economist - excellent international coverage, cuts to the chase avoiding a lot of the 'opinion', moronic waffle and idiot reporting you get in most dailies - which I have now largely given up on. Even if it is neo-liberal at least it doesn't try to hide what it's own editorial line is and is consistently liberal/libertarian on issues like drugs, sexuality, immigration, censorship and so forth. Biggest problem is that I often don't finish reading it before the next week's edition comes out. Not that its too long - just very densely written, meaning you have to concentrate and think while you read with a little bit going a long way.

PC Gamer (gamesradar is the general Future Publishing site. PC Gamer's own forum is here) - wierdly I still buy this every month despite not really buying any new games these days - which probably means I have spent more on this than actual *games* this year! Kind of an addiction I suppose and I like the writers.

DIVE (comes included with my BSAC/local scuba club membership). Nice pictures of fish and coral, the odd item about someone drowning themself, the latest flashy gear (that I don't need), various tips about safety etc. and places to go diving in the UK and abroad: Might as well actually go and do it, rather than read about it tho'.

PC Pro (someone else's subscription) - again, not sure why I bother reading this every month, as I don't need any new stuff. Again, must be some kind of wierd addiction to reading about the new tech coming out.
