See, now you had to go and dare me. PEACE!
DONT DO IT. FOR YOUR OWN SAKE AND THSI WEBSITE.
well this is your lucky day because it's been so long since I banned someone that I forgot how to do it. CONSIDER THIS YOUR WARNING, KID!!
Anyone who doesn't like Waxpo obviously has never seen Goldmine or Discovery. Big Daddy was good in an over hip UK kinda way, I miss it. Grand Slam was a poor second attempt. Grand Royal was cool, too cool.
Waxpo is a great magazine.
I don't who Biz is and where he came from. People who are only here to cause trouble need to be sent somewhere else.

Ehhh ... Goldmine/Discovery being lame doesn't make Wax Po automatically amazing. That logic is so failed that I can't believe it came from an intelligent person such as yourself. Besides, they don't even cover the same types of music. For that matter, I've read some fantastic articles in both Goldmine & Discovery, and, yes, some awful ones. Same thing applies to Wax Poetics - and I have to agree with the hatters to a certain extent ... it is obvious that somebody with editorial decision making abilities high up on their ladder has pretty damn suspect taste. I mean, pretty much anybody that posts on this site could come up with 50 artists more interesting and worthy of exposure than John Klemmer and Herbie Mann. I buy Wax Po, I heartily support it, but I've been diappointed by some of the content my $8 has been going towards.

National Geo? That is a great magazine. But what's with stories about South Dakota and Bristol? Suspect.

I have no idea, I just look at the pictures. Nat Geo that is.
I have no idea what the National Geo photo is supposed to mean. It followed a quote of my entire post, so I have to assume it is directed towards me. I don't even know if it's a joke, a dis, a co-sign, a point ... ?

Do I deserve one, though? I said I buy Wax Po, read it, enjoy it - but I do find some of their editorial decisions suspect or at least disappointing. I know I am hardly in the minority with this ... I mean, Gary McFarland is interesting, sure - but a giant feature spread over 2 issues? Wha?
And I've never bought a Goldmine or DISCoveries in my life, but the record stores I've worked at always got them, and there were some incredibly informative articles in them about artists as obscure and fascinating as anybody covered in Wax Po. Just because the Beatles are on the cover of EVERY ISSUE doesn't mean the insides are only about How To Peel Your Butcher Cover, Chapter 28
i buy every issue of Waxpoetics and I think it's probably the best music mag you will find in places like Borders and shit, BUT i do have a couple major gripes:
1.) They seem to ask every single fucking person they interview what they think about sampling (zzzzz).
2.) It seems like with each subsequent issue, more and more features are devoted to some artist that OH WHAT A COINCIDENCE just happens to have had their back catalog recently reissued, or something similar. I understand this is probably part of the magazine game, but it just makes me sad to know content decisions aren't being made on the basis of artistic merit.

No, I hear you. I have pretty much the exact same gripes as you do. I actually almost didn't buy this latest issue (would have been the first one I missed). I'm glad I would up buying it though, that Gary Davis article was rad.
agreed that theres usually some terdy records featured, but on the other hand id say ive been schooled 10 times for every 1 time i felt like "aw, why that dumb record?". and think of those insane spreads with like 100 records that (fill in the blank) played on or produced. plus the ads with the various reissues + indie hip hop are good to keep up on whats coming out.
You and Dizzy loved this guy when he first came here. E tu, Brute?
But I co-sign on the ban.
@SuperPoaster/bizness: The tedious caps-lock ranting is one thing, but I don't like opening every random thread just to see some nutless rug rat talk about punching bassie in the ovaries or calling elise a bitch (even if her IM LOLzer posting style is fluff). Learn some manners, kiddo. I know you're probably reading fatback vs. saba or noz goes bazerk, and you want to copy that because you think it's "hella funny", "clon" or whatever, but it's not. Your "edgy" posting style is a bummer. Everybody trying to be AP up in here. Please go away.

I bet Bear Grylls don't read no Nat Geo
You heard the story about Bear Grylls' show being something of a set-up?
I mean, if ever a story was screaming for a headline like "BEAR DOESN'T SHIT IN THE WOODS", then that was it.

AP wasn't funny. Imitators just want to make me jump out a window.
i buy every issue of Waxpoetics and I think it's probably the best music mag you will find in places like Borders and shit, BUT i do have a couple major gripes:
1.) They seem to ask every single fucking person they interview what they think about sampling (zzzzz).

I think that's all.
Like most magazines, the advertising and editorial departments are a little too cozy.

maybe it's just that some artists are easier to get in touch with or more interested in doing interviews once there's reissues coming up and labels/promotion people involved...? i don't see a problem with this if we're talking about people like roy ayers, betty davis etc. who deserve a feature anyway.

Of course they're more interested. They want to sell more records.
It's a very fine line, I know -- but WaxPo seems to be falling a bit toward the darkside.
You can't blame the magazine from wanting to appease advertisers, and thus make more money. But you can't blame the reader for thinking that the magazine has been compromised and, in turn, maybe not buying an issue.
