"You've got to know who the enemy is!"
I only buy the New Musical Express once
in a while now, and when I do I remember why I don't buy it every
week.... because it's shit, which is sad, because it used to be a
good read years ago. The present editorial team and readership may
still think it is, but trust me it aint. Page after page of adverts
interrupted by interviews/reviews of insipid incestuous interbred
musicians, like minded losers only playing it for the deal and a
career in the music industry. The next big thing in the pages of the
NME. The enemy? Don't make me laugh, it's part of the establishment
masquerading as being alternative, an alternative to what? The
'crappy chart music' replaced by crappy independent music that says
nothing and does nothing and goes nowhere. The clock is ticking....
15 minutes, 14 minutes......2 minutes, 1 minute....Times Up! About
the same length of time it took me to read last weeks edition before I threw it
away.... A disposable paper full of disposable bands in a disposable
world where the only passion is for the fashion.

I think I bought it once since I gave up in the,maybe,mid '80's...an issue with Kurt Cobain's favourite records...it's got nothing to do with the old NME...same as what happened to Kerrang,which used to be a heavy metal magazine...modern life is rubbish and cheap...
