Loading ...It’s been less than 24 hours since the finale of I’m From Rolling Stone, the MTV reality show that offered definitive, inarguable evidence that everybody under the age of 27 is a self-obsessed nub-nub. But even though THIS insanely low-rated program is over, your favorite contestants’ legacies live on, thanks to the Internet.

Everybody’s A Wenner: The “Rolling Stone” Review-Section Revue
Fri Mar 16 2007 by Brian Raftery
Once again, we venture to the back of Rolling Stone magazine–the part right before Peter Travers’ hysterical, horny, and hysterically horny movie screeds–and analyze the magazine’s music-review section. Why? We’ve long forgotten. But much like RS itself, we keep on keepin’ on, oblivious to shifts in readers’ desires, or even our own relevancy.

Hells no! Who cares if some old dude in some old band killed himself? That won’t stop them from making an ever-so-sensitive (and not at all obvious, punchline-wise) suicide gag a few lines below! More »
“I’m From Rolling Stone”: Is It Gone, Jann?
Mon Mar 12 2007 by Brian Raftery
Unless we’re being lied to by TVGuide.com, MTV.com, and our very own Tivos, last night’s scheduled episode of I’m From Rolling Stone never aired. Maybe the show has finally been yanked, or perhaps MTV felt that the country needs the healing power of Bam’s Unholy Union; either way, this is greatly disappointing, as Sunday’s installment was supposed to feature the interns doing some sure-to-be hilarious environmental reporting. That said, we don’t really need to actually see the show anymore to know what’s going on, so we’ve decided to encapsulate it anyway:

Are You Meh Enough To Edit The “Rolling Stone” MySpace Clone?
Fri Feb 23 2007 by Maura
Yesterday, we posted a Mediabistro ad from Rolling Stone, which is seeking someone to head up its new “music discovery site,” a.k.a. “Something like MySpace, only with lots more Mark Knopfler.” A tipster just sent us a more detailed description of the job, which is chock-full of 2003 buzzwords–and which leaves out the fact that the RS powers that be want this puppy to launch in only nine months:
Rolling Stone is looking to create a fully customize-able music discovery site that provides the ultimate online showcase for emerging artists, both signed and unsigned. Through interactivity and dialogue, artists will be enabled to mobilize their fanbases, and consumers will be exposed to new talent, as recommended by their peers and Rolling Stone’s editors.
Based upon a user’s personal profile and preferences, s/he will be connected to others with similar musical interests as well as a common goal to share, collaborate and discuss everything music–both online and off. The site will provide the means to stream the newest releases, watch the latest videos and purchase downloads and merchandise with the ease of a keystroke. User-driven insight and preference will be the cornerstone of the site; but regular reviews and recommendations by Rolling Stone editors will also be featured.
Apparently, the magazine is also asking all of its potential employees to answer a series of questions about new-media music coverage; after the click-through, we take the liberty of answering some of them for you.
