EDITORS were due to be on the cover. it was trailed last week with
'no supermodels. no bullshit. how EDITORS did it their way'
oh the irony. they've got every right to be bloody furious i'd say.

Good luck to Editors I say, They've got this far with nothing more than minimum NME help. Approaching 500K sales now.

Karen O gets more and more unfortunate.

Is that this week's, Martian?

she moved to LA cuz NYC was "stale."

Wouldn't it have been easier to do some cleaning?

yes, this week's as seen: http://www.nme.com/magazine

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Tuesday, 21 March 2006 16:46 (twenty years ago)

Do people really respond well to magazine covers that are jampackedthismuch with pictures and keywords? As odd as it might sound, I think the best music mag covers in general are ones done right after someone dies.

that was last week's issue

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Tuesday, 21 March 2006 18:52 (twenty years ago)

Oh, pick any of the 67 NME issues with Ian Brown on them... I choose this one, just because of the title..

wait, tom petty AND m people?

― mark p (Mark P), Tuesday, 21 March 2006 19:02 (twenty years ago)

And Harry Fuckin' Enfield! Still, I bet you a pound to a piece of shit that it was a better read then than it is now. Is this the thread where you get to call Conor McNicholarse a cunt? If so, count me in.

Bit of a while ago now but did anyone see him on that end-of-year MTV2 best of round-up bullshit with Zane Lowe 'round Christmastime? Hasn't he just got the most kickable face you've ever fucking seen?

I really don't like Conor McNicholas by the way.

― yer mam! (yer mam!), Tuesday, 21 March 2006 19:20 (twenty years ago)

Conor Mclickspittle is like the most appalling spotty school prefect, I just hope he knows he stands for absolutely nothing except the perpetuation of cultural hegemony. Don't worry tho, in a few years he'll have a column in the Groaniad (yay.) then be a regular talking head on do you remember the 00s (fantastic.)

― gekkoppel, Tuesday, 21 March 2006 21:27 (twenty years ago)

I trust everyone else was as intensely disappointed as me when they actually saw the "sickest rock merch ever"

― DJ Mencap (DJ Mencap), Tuesday, 21 March 2006 21:55 (twenty years ago)

People are ignoring that the last band on that NME cover are Nancy Boy. Not the Placebo song, but the long forgotten glam-metal band fronted by Mickey Dolenz's son.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 21 March 2006 22:00 (twenty years ago)

If anything, Tom Petty ages that issue more starkly

― DJ Mencap (DJ Mencap), Tuesday, 21 March 2006 22:23 (twenty years ago)

four weeks pass...

Possibly a new candidate:

It's rather deceptive but I think I got the better of it when I read "How four hardcore kids staged a punk rock revolution" and thought "Huh?".

Also, they have a token fat dude in a silly hat.

― James Mitchell (James Mitchell), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 21:29 (twenty years ago)

My 12 year old adopted cousin knows this shit is whack.

THE 11 LOUDEST RECORDS IN ROCK

1. Arctic Monkeys
2. Metal Machine Music (ask yer grandparents)

continue.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 21:32 (twenty years ago)

Fat dude in a silly hat = US equiv. to Kaiser Chiefs Peanut.

11 loudest records in rock feature surprisingly not bad, if pointless.

Interview with Be Your Own Pet on last page references ex-Swans singer Michael Durra! If y're transcribing a tape and a band mentions someone you haven't heard of (and this being the NME these days that's probably anybody ever) wouldn't you take the five seconds to check the spelling on the internet? You could find that out on Amazon! Contempt for reader ahoy.

Why is Shaun Ryder dancing like that? He's shat himself.

― Raw Patrick (Raw Patrick), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 21:40 (twenty years ago)

People still read NME? I don't even read it in smiths now.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 22:21 (twenty years ago)

"Punk rock revolution"

Fucking cunts. The very notion was dead as the credits played on the Grundy programme.

― Venga (Venga), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 22:54 (twenty years ago)

stop the revolution I want to get off

― fandango (fandango), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 22:57 (twenty years ago)

How many of you are going to festivals? Please hunt down Conor McNicholas and tell him that he is a company boy twat until he starts crying. He may not be the main culprit but he'll do.

― Venga (Venga), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 23:01 (twenty years ago)

new issue =

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 23:16 (twenty years ago)

Why are they reviewing a fucking advert?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 23:18 (twenty years ago)

People in ad agencies do coke. Coke is a basic, sempiternal rock and roll value. Therefore, advertising is rock and roll, and as such warrants coverage by the NME.

― Momus (Momus), Wednesday, 26 April 2006 00:14 (twenty years ago)

completely bizarre

New Kaiser Chiefs Tracks Revealed:

"Oh Fack Giles, Here Come the Townies"

"I Like Girls"

"Baggy Trousers"

(shrug) I see nothing wrong with that NME cover.

― Mr. Snrub (Mr. Snrub), Wednesday, 26 April 2006 01:16 (twenty years ago)

I wouldn't want to be a member of any disco that played Panic! At The Disco.

― fandango (fandango), Wednesday, 26 April 2006 01:22 (twenty years ago)

(shrug) I see nothing wrong with that NME cover.

It was more that they were reviewing an advert than the actual cover!

Win Carl Barat's Signed Guitar? Like ver kids care about Carl Barat these days.

― Bring Me The Head of ESTEBAN BUTTEZ (ESTEBAN BUTTEZ~!!!), Wednesday, 26 April 2006 02:56 (twenty years ago)

Lumme. I stopped reading the NME back in about 93 and it doesnt look like I've missed anything at all :/

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 26 April 2006 03:26 (twenty years ago)

This week: four casually dressed young men, standing in a line in a photographer's studio! Again!

Learn to look better.

"Girls Aloud are as exciting as Franz Ferdinand"

This is a palpable untruth, but nice to see the NME catching up with me four years later.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 26 April 2006 09:33 (twenty years ago)

Who the fuck are "Arctic Monkeys"?

I should've known these words would come back to haunt me.

― Philip Alderman (Phil A), Wednesday, 26 April 2006 11:19 (twenty years ago)

Apropos whatever, completely unexpectedly, Lo-Fis were fucking brilliant at Knebworth at the weekend. The sound's completely redeveloped since their early days - less glitchly, more bassy, and more like Bugged Out!-esque funky house / techno spun out into MDMA- mantras than Embrace faiing to make dance music.

Because he's dead, apparently.

"why syd matters now more than ever"
Because they can do a Syd special and cash in.
And then theres the NME/Mojo Classics special issue to come no doubt.
