*---* HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES *---* padraic doorey said;
rolling stone journos should be ignored ("no shit, sherlock!").....they are parasites of music and will easily put *fabu* bands like belle & seb in the same category as mariah carey or some other BS. a rolling stone four star review means sweet fook all because they will give a four star review to some shite outfit like the pasedenas (remember them?) in the next issue. throwaway stars if you like. (but don't put them in your pocket).
reading rolling stone led to months of rocking in a foetal poition and screaming silently at the walls of my parents house.
Other magazines to avoid part 1: Select. I really used to love select. No, really. In 1995 it was really good, especially the bit at the back by those two that wrote father ted - that was SO funny. Anyway, it was always really interesting but then the editor left and the new one put Paul Weller on the cover (as opposed to Pulp) and started a war against Bis (Who you all know I love) and The Bluetones, who, actually, I quite like. I've always wondered why people put them in with Shed 7, OCS, etc when they were clearly nothing like them. Actally, aren't all magazines shit? Not counting fanzines of course. I mean, Private Eye and the NME have some interesting stuff in but in the end are 90% dull, dull, dull. Back me up on this one... I'm going to see the Divine Comedy on Saturday. I may even have a backstage pass. Well, I might. I'll get back to you on that. Or perhaps not. Hey, as a respected zine editor do you think I could get a backstage pass to interview B&S? How's about it Katrina. Oh, go on!
