If Spin was written by Brits...,

This review is from: Q - England (Magazine)
There used to be tons of music magazines in Britain, but gradually they've disappeared, giving way to lifestyle magazines that run the gamut from celebrity gossip, to articles on (of all things) health. Q has always been focused on music and is pretty much the best barometer of the British music scene. It's stylish, irreverent and intelligent. They're aren't afraid to offend the interviewees neither. A subscription to Q will keep you up to date on breaking new bands, in-depth interviews with musicians, latest album reviews, (many of which don't get US releases, and certainly aren't played on Clear Channel radio stations) and some really great photography. All of this is delivered with the usual wry humour of good British journalism. $140 is a lot to pay in one go. I buy it monthly from my local bookshop where the price works out a bit higher, but only because I keep moving house and can't be dealing with changing my address, and I like to support local stores. It's worth bearing in mind that on average 4 issues a year come with full length CDs which mitigates the initial outlay a bit. Go on... subscribe, you know you want to.

Great rate for a great rock music magazine for adults.,
By Mendicant Pigeon "Mendicant Pigeon" (pdx, or United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Q - England (Magazine)
This subscription is the way to go if you are sick and tired of finding the last copy of Q magazine for sale on the newstands is missing the 'enclosed' CD because some chump has stolen it before you could. This rock music magazine is superior to others on the market, in my opinion, because it has excellent production values, i.e. luxuriantly thick and glossy paper and high quality reproductions. As a bonus, the writing is superior and highly imaginative. An expecial favorite section of mine is the 'man on the streets' section in the back where concert goers are canvassed for their opinions on the show they have just watched. I like it because the reporter is sure to get a good cross-section of the audience and it clues one in on the reaction different types of people have to the band. In addition, this magazine covers US and worldwide bands that may not be as well-known here in the USA as they are in UK; often these are bands that we might want to know better. The reviews section is always great, and usually the magazine will highlight a mini-section e.g. 'Best R&B albums from the 1970's, in which lost gems are rediscovered for the reader who may be too young to remember or even know about these artists. This magazine will have you finding, buying and liking albums by bands you've never heard of, and who can beat the home delivery aspect for nickels more than the newstand price?

Like Spin, only cooler and more British,

This review is from: Q - England (Magazine)
This one's a good one from good ol' UK. Let me explain the perks: 1. You get a perspective on music that isn't totally Americanized; that is, mainstream boy bands and Creed clones aren't cluttering up the pages. 2. If you like Britpop, then naturally you would choose a magazine closer to their turf for better reviews. 3. The British aren't so conservative with their magazines, thus the pages of this magazine can be especially juicy.
