To get off topic for a sec, can you recommend a GOOD music magazine?

I don't care for Jay-Z myself, but it does seem like Noel's comments were a little on the prejudiced side.

I read Under the Radar and like it alot. I also read Stylus which is pretty good. Harp and Uncut are also decent. On a more popular note SPIN is okay except when they start talking about Paramore. I guess Paste would be okay too if they weren't so generic and their writers weren't a bunch of tasteless assholes.

Are they really though?

He's commenting on Glastonbury , I mean your average Glastonbury attendent is either a middle class NME reading student or crusty hippies. Hardly a hotbed of Hip Hop action.

Well thats what's hip right now and making false claims to bring in more readers is more important to them right now then good music.

So then my Kooks assessment was correct. In that case I agree with him, he never once criticizes Jay-Z as an artist he just says it was a bad move on the organizers part and seeing as it didn't sell out as usual that's hardly a statement I'd object to.

How is Noel being racist? Maybe he just thinks Jay-Z sucks & has nothing to do with his skin color.

Noel is like the model for arrogant musician who isn't as good as he thinks. I mean yeah, some of his songs I think are excellent, but he isn't a genius, therefore he isn't warranted to spout off any opinion he wishes to. He acts like an elder statesman of Rock, but he totally isn't.

Not even at a festival he's headlined & sold out twice?

Yeah, and Morrissey is the epitome of comme il faut.

I didn't say he was being racist...I said he was being prejudiced. Prejudicial in that he assumes it's because of Jay-Z that tickets sales were down, whether it be because he's black, or hip-hop, or American, or whatever the case may be. It didn't seem like he had anything to back it up other than coincidence.

But Urban brought up a good point, in that I don't know anything about the location where the concert is being held, or the type of people that live there, so I could be speaking out of turn. I was just calling it how I saw it.
