it is dead but will never die

i literally have no idea what class sixth formers + northern ppl listen to any more

― A.R.R.Y. Kane (nakhchivan), Wednesday, 26 September 2012 11:40 (thirteen years ago)

/middle/ class

― A.R.R.Y. Kane (nakhchivan), Wednesday, 26 September 2012 11:40 (thirteen years ago)

what about lower class and upper class?

There's no equivalent list of Kerrang covers but my guess would be they'd provide a much better picture of commercially successful rock music in 2012.

― Matt DC, Wednesday, 26 September 2012 11:44 (thirteen years ago)

in london anyway, working class kids tend to be more into 'urban'/dance or whatever

provinces + north 'indie'/rock has/had full spectrum dominance but again idk what music exactly the kids listen to these days

is it just like the vaccines + maybe odd future or something

― A.R.R.Y. Kane (nakhchivan), Wednesday, 26 September 2012 11:49 (thirteen years ago)

kids i know seem to be mostly emo metal or mersh hip hop/r and b stuff

i don't really remember anyone into metal when i were a lad but then that was in era when papa roach ruled metal

― A.R.R.Y. Kane (nakhchivan), Wednesday, 26 September 2012 12:00 (thirteen years ago)

also i guess every british thread shouldn't be about racism + class factionalism + general resentment/bitterness/stupidity but there was an awful lot of rhetoric towards rap/garage etc that could be described as crypto-racist in the same way as david laws could be described as a crypto-tory

i kinda imagine this might have improved in the last decade

― A.R.R.Y. Kane (nakhchivan), Wednesday, 26 September 2012 12:08 (thirteen years ago)

eleven months pass...

This week's is very, very bad and features the worst picture of Cobain I think I have ever seen.

I have approx 250 words in it. Haven't read anything else in there yet, though.

ok that is a shitty photo

― pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Thursday, 12 September 2013 14:10 (twelve years ago)

surprisingly good teeth i thought

He's American.

― they all are afflicted with a sickness of existence (Scik Mouthy), Thursday, 12 September 2013 14:33 (twelve years ago)

teeth too pretty to die young

anyhow, it looks like they have serious problems if M.I.A. is the newest artist mentioned on their front cover

― i'll be your mraz (NickB), Thursday, 12 September 2013 14:35 (twelve years ago)

change that '20 years' to '10 years' and the 'new' in nme makes some sense again.

― Waluigi Nono (Merdeyeux), Thursday, 12 September 2013 14:42 (twelve years ago)

on every nme cover ever: "Pete Doherty's back and up to his old tricks"

Lol no way is that going to work, you're talking literally the most entitled readership ever.

― Matt DC, Wednesday, 25 September 2013 10:42 (twelve years ago)

But it's "30p cheaper than one of the San Fransisco band's singles on iTunes."

Print circulation of the 62-year-old indie bible fell to 20,011 in the first half of this year, down from 56,284 five years ago, according to the latest Audit Bureau of Circulations figures. Visits to its website, however, have rocketed to an estimated 8 million users a month.

20,000 a week isn't very much.

If they're starting to go down the online payment route then how long until the papermag stops getting published?

no matter how hard she tries she still can't manage any look other than "boring and sullen"

― Bap & Ounge (Noodle Vague), Monday, 7 October 2013 12:03 (twelve years ago)

Quite like the design of that new cover (although it's basically The Face) but that's a terrifying picture of Bowie.

― Matt DC, Monday, 7 October 2013 12:07 (twelve years ago)

***about BOXCAR time*** is so horrible my toes are still curled up in embarrassment for the sub

― Bap & Ounge (Noodle Vague), Monday, 7 October 2013 12:13 (twelve years ago)

at least they didn't spell it 'MVSIC'

― PaulTMA, Monday, 7 October 2013 12:23 (twelve years ago)

'Why don't you call yourself New Mojo Express and just be done with it?'

the nme typeface bit looks nice. If there really are more reviews I might even read it in the co-op next time im in.

― pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Monday, 7 October 2013 13:17 (twelve years ago)

― pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Monday, 7 October 2013 13:18 (twelve years ago)

― pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Monday, 7 October 2013 15:09 (twelve years ago)

other way around, LDR copying Miley...

― i also enjoy in line skateing (spazzmatazz), Monday, 7 October 2013 15:11 (twelve years ago)

such an embarrassment, this rag

― lex pretend, Monday, 7 October 2013 15:13 (twelve years ago)

Difficult to say which is the bolder innovator in that regard.

― Matt DC, Monday, 7 October 2013 15:14 (twelve years ago)

"January 2012" ?

― Mark G, Monday, 7 October 2013 15:19 (twelve years ago)

how long has nme been using "The Past,Present and Future Of Music" as a byline? What direction are they taking now then? Beatles/Dylan on the cover every 3 months like Mojo/Uncut ? or reprinting classic features of the past?

― pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Monday, 7 October 2013 15:58 (twelve years ago)

How much photoshopping on Bowie's jowels/neck? A lot.

― they all are afflicted with a sickness of existence (Scik Mouthy), Monday, 7 October 2013 16:01 (twelve years ago)

Never seen it before. (xpost)

― Mark G, Monday, 7 October 2013 16:02 (twelve years ago)

reprinting old features could be good i suppose but we already have mojo/uncut etc for new articles on old music. We dont need new articles on the glory days of britpop/landfill/libertines
