The All-New STYLUS.

Someone on another board (ok, h1p1n1on) says this, which may or may not be an attempt at a hoax, but I'm just copying since I don't know:

One of my friends works at a promotions company and got an email back from them saying:

"Hi there PR person/band person:

Stylus Magazine will no longer be actively published starting on
October 31, 2007. We may or may not be stopping publishing reviews
long before that, so please DO NOT send any discs to us."

?

dom this isnt the thread to brag about girls you fucked

Originally I was going to post this picture:

some behind-the-scenes magic right there

hey, ethan, two out of three ain't bad, especially the one at the back. you could argue on balance that it's a haul to be proud of!

if it's true, then someone's got to keep Single Jukebox alive. It's my favorite feature, with some of the stalwarts of NYLPM.

yeah, i'd be bummed if that got the ax too, for obvious reasons.

What???

I don't know! That's why I posted it.

Well the Stypod went away a few weeks ago and Beatz By the Pound (my definite favorite part of the site) has certainly slowed in the past few weeks. Surely someone here can confirm.

:-( :-( :-(

stylus has a weekly feature about beats by the pound?!

you missed last week's column about Charge It 2 Da Game?

yeah i gotta say the debate between mo b. dick & nick southall about radiohead's best album was kinda predictable tho

???

haha i could actually imagine an audiophile discussion between klc and southall, he seems like the kind of dude who would give a shit about that sort of thing

time for KLC poll

... so it's not true then? Or aren't we supposed to know about it yet?

so this was on HIPINION was it

I'm still writing.

ok, fair point, the two of you.

I didn't know about Hipinion til today...JESUS CHRIST! IT'S TERRRRRRIBLE.

i need an ALL NEW STYLUS for one of my turntables

any news?

Probably a hoax, never heard a thing about this since.

I don't think it's telling tales out of school if I say so, but it turns out it's true, Stylus is kaput.

Really?

so I hear! I haven't been a regular contributor or in the loop for like a year, though. sorry to anyone if it's supposed to be under wraps at the moment but if people are already speculating then it's not really much a secret.

Uh.

ach, just saw the end of that email that said it wasn't supposed to be known yet. mods, feel free to delete, i guess.

WAU.

Terrible if true. Stylus is a really good online magazine.

agreed

I'm still writing for them, so.

Dick Mouthy hehe

Sick Mouthy rools.

POST THE EMAIL

I'd like this better if it were just a way of firing Alex in Baltimore (not that I have anything against him, really).

"Uh, yeah, we're not publishing anything else, so we don't need you to write anymore. Also, uh, don't look at the website, because after we fold the domain will be used to serve viruses and childporn into your your computer."

lol. well like i said, i stopped writing reviews for them last year, have only been doing some stuff for the Jukebox blog recently, which was what I got an email in reference to. i already feel like enough of a dick for saying anything, though, so yeah, definitely not posting any emails.

WHAT.

RIP big men

The decline for Stylus (more leik styleless) started when they didn't get back to Esteban Buttez about that writing gig.

^^^ truth

idk if anyone else has noticed, but lots of stylus stalwarts have been throwing it down for pfork lately.

oh noes. What will happen to the jukebox? No wonder it hasn't been updated all week. What a shame it had to end with a celebration of the longevity of Radio 1's mediocrity as well.

I'm still writing. Literally. I've got three Word docs open.
