THE LAST THING THE WORLD NEEDS IS....


Current mood: YEAH!!!
Category: YEAH!!! Music



ANOTHER FUCKING 'STYLE' MAGAZINE!!!!

Shit, each time I go into a newsagent, I see a new one...

There's: Dazed & Confused, Vice, Dummy, Tummy, Bummy, Suga Rape, I-D, K-D, HEID!?!?, Rumple Tumple, Cheese Ballroom Gown, Pop, Flop, Fop, Paper, Wafer, Surface, WOW!!! CIAO, The Futureproof Music Blog By Pio- NO!!!....

The list goes on...


I MEAN WHAT THE FUCK ARE STYLE MAGAZINES ABOUT?!?!

I know damn well what they're about!!!

In fact, you can tick the fucking boxes each time:

1) A set of pictures of a semi naked alrightish looking girl wearing a belt around her head and a tweed skirt - CHECK!!!!

2) Record reviews of bands you will never ever see or hear of again and have never ever seen of before who have a VERY DEFINED STYLE BUT NO FUCKING MUSICAL ABILITY OR FUNDAMENTAL IDEAS - CHECK!!!!

3) Endless pages of quirky clothes photography that try to be naive - CHECK!!!!

4) Half cut opinions that revolve around the surface of every issue - CHECK!!!!!

5) Interviews that say NOTHING - CHECK!!!!!

6) Graffiti - CHECK!!!


And talking of magazines look at these figures on UK music titles....

DOWN DOWN DRAGGING ME DOWN!!!



(Thanks to (Stool Pigeon) for coagulating the figures)


Blogs are quite clearly where it's at....

HOORAY!!!!
