"zarklephaser" - i've said this before!

same as my Last.fm username the last 6 years or however long

Well, it pains me to admit it, but we’ve had plenty of favorite commenters on the site. Zarklephaser, Grand Banks, Florenz6, meatbreak, raskolnikov, et al.: we salute you!

WTF I WAS CALLED OUT AS A FAVORITE STYLUS COMMENTER??!?!!!

(totally unexpected, thanks to whomever suggested that!)

Hahaha, that was all Todd's doing, singling you and the others out. I don't think anything has had as much sustained, impassioned, profane and repeated discussion in our virtual office over the years as the comments boxes. God bless our readers. And hello, Zarklephaser.

Ah, Alfred, one of my regretable moments was on a piece of yours. Sorry about that, I actually liked almost everything you wrote, but for some reason your Boredoms piece, and the subsequent comments, caught me on the wrong day.

This news is heartbreaking. :(

nuts that it's almost been four years since it closed . . .

i kind of wish Stylus had polls.

hahaha

Uggh, I got mentioned in that Stylus goodbye as well. Both OK with that and totally embarrassed at the same time.

Hey at least you got mentioned!

writing for this magazine was the second half of my adolescence and the reason i've gotten any work anywhere so yeah <3. the ideal writers' mag: polyvocal, always up for stuff, and unsustainable.

Yeah, I am happy I got mentioned, I am imagining that I got noticed mostly for being a good poster, but sure wish I could take back some of my comments. Great site though, thoroughly miss it.

ha, i just found a stylus 'stycast' podcast on an old drive - an interview that todd did with me for stylus in 2005!

The Stycasts were great. There was a very amusing one about 60s/70s stars trying to transition to the 80s.

lmao @ inconceivably atrocious, bully is a stone cold classic imo

Stylus Magazine said the song was "undoubtley" Fatboy Slim's "finest moment to date", noting "the ten-minute house anthem “Song for Shelter”, whose redemptive power was so awesome that it almost saved Larry Clark’s inconceivably atrocious film Bully simply by gracing the last scene."[1]

what's up with the Stylus website lately? their album reviews don't seem to be accessible anymore (and even the Archives link yields a 404 error) although their features and movie reviews are still online...

awww so glad you care

The site's slowly crumbling. I've been transferring reviews to my blog.

I've done the same thing with my reviews.

i still occasionally start typing in stylusmagazine into the search bar, from muscle memory, whenever i'm wandering the internet looking for something new

cuz we still rule
