Tesco "back to school" adverts on radio already. I still find that a depressing sign that summer is almost gone. Slightly optimisitic on their part though.

July? Christ. May as well start the Christmas adverts so.

Q was the only long running mag i never bought and was never even tempted to buy.

Wire, Mojo, Terrorizer, Kerrang, NME, Melody Maker, Raw, Option, Rolling Stone, Select, Plan B,
Classic Rock, Shindig, Metal Forces, Inrockuptables, Spin, Classic Prog, Gramophone, Classic Pop,
BBC Music, Metal Hammer, Vive Le Rock, Uncut, Iron Fist, Vox (UK one)...
and many other glossy mags i was tempted to buy, even if only once.

Q was so bland it never seemed worth bothering with.

How many of these are still going, I wonder

Looking at that list makes me think kerrang! Could be the longest running uk music magazine( rock/pop music at least). Possibly even followed by Metal Hammer?

Too many.

I think The Wire goes back to the mid 70s at least, it was jazz only for a long time.

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

Ah,it didnt come on my radar until much later

 

[Cornu Ammonis]

Same here.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

The wire is early 80s

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

Kerrang! Was 81,it started as a column or something in sounds previously as far as i know

Who'd have thought not writing about musicians not get paid for decades on end while being the music press would have led a feild entirely dependent on the existence of creative musicians to collapse.

In order to return something I bought online I have to download and print out a form. What is this, the time of Charlemagne?

I forgot Record Collector - first published in 1980.

carol keogh was recently complaining that she has to pay duty on something she bought online, and the fee is handled by an post. they only take cheques (she doesn't have a chequebook), or a postal order in the mail.
so she has to go to the post office, buy a postal order, and put it in the post, in the post office - to send to the post office.

 

[therealjohnny]

ridiculous

 

[Cormcolash]

Sure what else would you be doing in a post office?

 

[nuke terrorist]

i never had a bank account until 2018, so i can relate to this.
