2000 AD books - Judge Dredd - The Complete Case Files 01

on a similar note, who uses sex shops these days? when you can get whatever you like off the internet

do people just enjoy the sex shop experience?

I reckon it's mostly for physical goods. You can't download a dildo.

There's a real distinction between adult bookstores/videostores and sex shops
These places are everywhere and quite respectable

[7 - No tomorrow]

Some people say it's grungy with off-putting smells, but I like it. Call me sentimental, but you can't replicate this atmosphere at home.

Sentimental was not the first word that sprang to mind, to be honest

I'm amazed Wire still exists. It gets more and more obscure that it takes so much effort to get through these days. Still, I buy it every 2nd month or so. I also buy Mixmag. Terrible magazine but great for leads on new music.

 

[Cornu Ammonis]

I used to buy the Wire every month but I feel the quality of the interviews has dropped, either because some of the writers are trying to out-do themselves in being more serious than the next or the interviewees just aren't that interesting. I think it was always fairly obscure (I mean there was always a good chance that you had never heard of the artist featured on the cover each month) but instead of highlighting things that are genuinely exciting, it has become a bit of a clearing house for one or two CD-R wonders doing whatever genre-du-jour has being buying up most of the advertising space.

In contrast, I've been reading back issues on the loo and there's stuff from 15 years ago in it that still seems cutting edge. Maybe it's me though.

There's trouble in Shindig land! Which is a shame as it's the only magazine I subscribe to.

Ireland's Own continues to be hale and hearty it seems and representing an Ireland where it is still forever 1955.

 

[therealjohnny]

I spent ages looking for Ireland's Own that had an article about a comic I worked on. It turned out it was the even more select publication "Ireland's Eye" I should have been looking for.

The guy I worked with on the comic was well chuffed and congratulated me for being in print in a national publication. I didn't let it go to my head.

 

[Scientician 0.8]

I have never warmed to Ireland's Eye the way I have to Ireland's Own even though if memory serves me right Ireland's Eye has (slightly) higher production values.

 

[therealjohnny]

It's probably the proddy version of 'Own
