What is your go-to music magazine?
 
Hey all, what music magazine do you rely on for insight into new music? I like Magnet. I don't really find much value in Spin or RS anymore ... how about you?

I don't read the new album reviews from magazines. It's always wider on the net. As for the interviews, I get the Rolling Stones [not as frequently as before as they're caught by the Obama-rush, so they're getting too politicized for my taste] and MOJO.

I only subscribe to Under The Radar, it's a good read for current, 'indie' music I guess. They've got alot of **** I've never heard of, or have only seen in my last.fm recommendations.. decent for when I'm looking for new things. They also usually include a download link for free mp3s and have a least one issue a year that comes with a free CD.

the only one worth reading is the chicago reader.

Still Q for some reason. I don't actually buy it monthly or anything, but it'll be the one I pickup on long train jobs, it overrates stuff obviously because it tenders to a general audience, but like my over go-to mag, Empire, it still holds some cred and is a fun read for mainstream reasons.

I also like Mojo & Sight and Sound.

my monthly buy is Blunt. A alternative australian magazine.. with a good dose of news on local bands i love, unknown bands to checkout aswell as international acts... and cheaper than most others such as rocksound and rolling stone.

When I lived in England, I use to get NME every week nowadays I get all my information from the internet.

I mostly get Under The Radar too. There's another one that escapes me right now but it's kind of similar. I've had some good experience with Believer and Wax Poetics but it's a very rare occasion I pick up either.
