Re: NME RIP
Jan 08, 2008, 13:02
Does anybody really read music weeklies like NME or MM? Those rags NEVER had any clue to whats going on outside of the a&r departments. The only things I can remember NME ever doing of interest was that Julian Cope Horror Asparagus/garagepsych blabfest. That must have been in 83 or 84? And, surprise, doing Dungen band of the year in 06.
Thruth is that I have tons of popmusicwritings (Meltzer, Bangs aso) but they weren't that fun either, never really finished anything by those lauded writers. The best blabs on paper on music was by Paul Majors in his recordlist. And the mighty Kicks magazine of course.
Why the big rags never employed Billy Miller or Miriam Linna is beyond me.
