Its still thick with ads during an industry-wide dry spell, and the staff is pretty lean. That said, I'll be happy to never again look at those Carmen Electra-led house ads for Maxim's hair-product line.

That may not be much to brag about but still...

Yes, one does have to suffer through pictures of scantily clad pop tartlettes to get to the interesting bits, but...Wait, why is that a problem? Why can't I learn about the entire Tom Waits back catalog, and see pictures of Katharine McPhee in nine inch heels?

All not-quite-kidding aside, it's a far better music magazine than Spin and RS (Yes, I realize I just said nothing), and although it's fratty parent company caused it to skew a little sophomoric...I'd still rather read it than "AARPaste," the flaxseed oatmeal of music mags.

I enjoy it as well (because I love Q, too). I think a lot of it is cleverly written. I paid a whopping $7 or so for my subscription, and I better get every issue!

It'd be sad to see them go.
