The end of Q

The sad news came through recently that Q magazine is finally giving up the battle against a diminishing circulation and the vast change in the musical landscape. I was fortunate enough to work for a good number of years for EMAP (the publisher's of Q) and much fun indeed was had at their sometimes infamous awards parties.

I could spill the beans about the time I ended up in the loos at the Dorchester (at least I think it was there, my mind was altered at the time) with Lemmy but to be honest you had to be there...

Anyway, thank you Q for your dogged determination and valiant service*. Fingers crossed that MOJO will not be going the same way, at least just yet!

*I'm just off to the newsagents to collect my final ever copy!

Decent Magazines

The simple pleasure of popping into the newsagent and having the choice of at least 5 decent magazines to buy. And although many of them are going through what can only be described as a fallow period, they still pour from a great height on the rubbish available here. So, a large round of applause for the following magazines (past & present):

The Face, Straight No Chaser, Select, Mojo, GQ, Arena, When Saturday Comes, JM96* & Spectrum. To name but a few!
