I employed to have a Razr. I've been searching around at the filesystem on Bitpim and just began putting flash wallpapers on it. I've also checked to see how EnV Touch themes look on it. I'd like to start attempting to make themes and wallpapers in Adobe Flash CS4. But I just began, so it'll most likely be awhile before I get anything.

That magazine is easily the best-designed music mag out there--starting with the cover and ending with every last little detail.</P> Gotta give a shout out to The Wire if we’re talking about contemporary magazine covers.

Although there are plenty of reasons to criticize Rolling Stone (celebrity worship, Wenner's nepotism, etc), to dismiss the RS of the late-70s (when "punk roared loudest") for running covers of Boz Scaggs and Linda Rondstadt is revisionism at best, disingenuous at worst. While punk might have been "roaring" in the U.K. it was barely a blip on the radar in the U.S.</p> <p>Even when the time came that we could boast of our own homegrown punk scene (1980-81?), it was largely a coastal occurence...people between NYC and LA were still listening to Scaggs and Carly Simon. Of course, we won't mention the trainwreck that was the RS covers of the late-90s "boy band/pop tart" era...wotta smellbag! But it would be the mid-80s, at least, before Rolling Stone really lost its way as a cultural touchstone (and the covers of the era reflect such).</p> Let’s be honest here, shall we?
