Yes, much, much better. The wall was getting annoying.

Wow, what a great group. Thanks for the invite Ali!
For reasons unknown, I haven't been checking out ND for months (busy, distracted by shiny objects, abducted by aliens and forced to listen to Shaun Cassidy's greatest hits non-stop until…

I sent in a subscription check for the Journal of Country Music a couple years ago and they never cashed it. We figured that we travel to Nashville frequently enough that we could just pick up the current issue at the CMHOF store during our visits.…

Journal of Country Music and music magazines
Reading the forums and blogs here is giving me odd nostalgia for magazines I used to get years ago.Years ago I used to subscribe to the Journal of Country Music which I remember as sometimes being quite worth the subscription price, but I let my subscription lapse for a variety of reasons not necessarily as important today.Any one get it ,or read it, nowadays? Is it worth reading and subscribing to today?On that note, what music magazines (of the smaller circle of print magazines out there) do…See More

Ah, memories. Going through the ads was just as fun as reading the magazine. Which is the mark of good magazine for me - if I not only want to read the articles, but the ads as well. Always a sense of a world to explore contained in the pages.
mwbworld commented on Kim Ruehl's blog post 'What's next after free streaming?'
I think at another level there is where meta overwhelms reality at the detriment of real impact. To a degree I think this applies across many creative endeavors (art, literature, music, film, etc.) Real impact comes from commenting on or telling…
mwbworld commented on Grant Alden's blog post 'On not being where things are happening'
I think there is a specific law of coolness that prevents me attending any event more than 50% cool/hip kids attending. They fear my uncoolness negating the coolness. ;-)
More seriously, I hear you.
It does appear to have lost some of interest for…
Shifts in the Industry
I was just watching the documentary Before the Music Dies (2006) over at Hulu.com and you can watch there as well.I can't say that any of what it presents is new to me, but it does bring together a nice bit of coverage of trends in the music industry over the past decade or so. And what it has to say is really just as relevant today as it was in 2006 when the film was made. It is…See More

I very very rarely will "prelisten" to any music I buy. 99% comes from what I read...reviews and articles. I don't go to band's websites and listen, I don't listen to the little snippets embedded in online reviews, I rarely…

David:
There's always a good place for good music writing and I always enjoy it myself. But the missing element that is often not discussed is what is really critical in judging whether you'll like the artist/album is how much your tastes…
Jeff R Hall commented on mwbworld's blog post 'Music Reviews - a bygone era?'
The way people listen to music, as well as the way music is discussed is in flux. There is a place for music reviews and people will still seek them out. Unfortunately, the medium they are traditionally distributed through (Magazines) are obsolete.…

Music Reviews - a bygone era?
With ND's shift to the bookazines and this web community, has re-kindled my thinking about music magazines, books and music reviews.
Back 5 to 10 years ago I subscribed to a ton of music magazines like No Depression, Dirty Linen, Blues Revue, Goldmine, etc. - because that was the way for me to find new music and follow the releases of acts I loved. I also bought books of reviews like the All Music Guides as quick references to look up albums. Music reviews… Continue

Ali Williams said… - Hi ! I noticed you are in the Boston area. I am not sure if you are aware or not but we have started a Boston ND group on this website in hopes of keeping each other up to date on what shows are coming up in the area and talk music-that sort of thing. We would love to have you as a member. We just started a few days ago but hopefully it will grow into a fun community of people and we can see some great shows. I am hoping to get a calendar started that will highlight the shows people on the list recommend. Anyway, consider this an invitation and by all means pass the word.... I hope to see on the site-Ali Williams
