Take heart, those of you who fear the imminent demise of the era where people read about music on stapled-and-printed pages: Seven music-related periodicals have made the short list of the
Chicago Tribune's annual "50 Best Magazines" list. They are: the Baroque-centric bimonthly
Goldberg; the classical mag
Gramophone; the indie bible
Magnet; the Metropolitan Opera's house organ
Opera News; the still-hanging-in-there
Rolling Stone, which gets points for its access and being nicer than Pitchfork; and the home-recording obsessives' guide
Tape Op. And, um, the
NME, which I guess does hold its own in the "soldiering on breathlessly despite the facts being in the way sometimes" department. [
