(i was a huge fan of spin up till alan light left.)i've flipped through blender before. kind of boring. rolling stone, which has been revitalized to some degree--still with trademark stodginess in some parts--realizes stories on culture and politics go down easier with artist profiles and listicles. and they also know that not all their readers are music junkies. blender has the same bland blurbed humor as maxim. i think they miss the point of reflecting culture through music and don't really know who reads their magazine. anyone who wants to indulge their music geekery goes online now.

Bad hair and even worse lighting indeed. Also it's not been released in Ireland and probably never will. So yay.

I think I like these colums better than the actual magazines they critique.

Because I'm old-fashioned enough to believe nominal music magazines should have musicians (even of the autotuned pop-star variety) on their covers, I love it when they get burned by lining up a "hot" movie star and drop the issue the week before the star's movie tanks. When Rolling Stone put the two nearly-naked Grindhouse hotties on its cover last spring just minutes before that movie underperformed, I - to paraphrase Eddie Murphy's drunk father - giggled my muthafuckin' ass off.

Nothing against Samberg, whom I like and wouldn't have minded a feature about, but putting him on the cover over other Blender Hot faves like, say, Rihanna seemed like a classic bad-karma move. And nothing against Blender, which I still enjoy more than virtually any magazine right now, but I hope this teaches them a lesson.
