I only have a subscription to one; Rue Morgue, and I really enjoy it, even though it is kind of expensive.oh- and "Camping Life" because my coworker and her stupid kid were hawking magazine subscriptions so she could take a feild trip somewhere so I picked "camping life". Its awful.

    I've never heard of that... what's it like/what do you like about it?

    I don't subscribe to anything, but I get cd's from the library so I always check GQ, Men's Health, & Esquire

    I work for a university, so I access to Consumer Reports online... that's pretty nice.

    Signed up for a free year long subscription to Blender...

    Got my first issue, then the next day they announced they were shutting down.

    Which was ok with me, the magazine blew.

    I used to subscribe to Wax poetics, but started getting bored of them, because I couldn't hear half the shit they're talking about.

    I bought a subscription to the Smithsonian mag on ebay in 2005 and the seller gave me free subscriptions to Maxim and Black Enterprise as a bonus. I didn't really want either of them, and now I'm still getting them years after my Smithsonian subscription expired.

    ???? You could say the same thing about Soul Strut. (Real Headz notwithstanding)

    I'm sorry, but that's what magazines like Wax Poetics, Mojo, etc. are for, to hip you to overlooked or unknown sounds. complaining that you "can't hear" these things is kinda trifling

    My mom bought me a subscription to SMITHSONIAN shortly after I moved across the country 6 months ago. Not sure why.

    I get the last two as a gift(yearly subscription)every year for Christmas--really a great gift idea.

    Real Simple is one of the things I love forward to every month.


    I sound so domestic...eeeesh.

    Hell yeah, mega cosign.

    Keep it next to the shitter and in 3 visits your pretty much up to date on everything. Highly recommended.

    At times over the years I've subscribed to Newsweek, Time, Sports Illustrated, and Wax Poetics. These days, it's just Taint, Twasn't, Tweren't, and Neither Dick Nor Ass Quarterly.

    Love Cooks Illustrated. Also get Food & Wine, the obligatory New Yorker, National Geographic. I get daily e-mails from the meat mag Meating Place and also a weekly subscription at work to Feed Stuff, and thumb through Portfolio and Economist here as well. Food and business is what's really.

    Didn't we have this discussion before, and wasn't it where someone posited that people who didn't live in New York had no use for the New Yorker?

    right now the only thing I get is the Nation because my parents bought me a subscription as a gift years ago and renew every time they're mailed a solicitation. in other words, although i've told them the situation, they have me paid in full through, like, 2023.

    I've subscribed to all of these in the past and hope to renew when the $$ situation looks up:
    Wax Po
    Wire
    Film Comment
    Cineaste
    Signal to Noise
    Cinemascope

    I said that I had never picked up the new yorker because i do not live in new york and thus I was not interested in a magazine about new york.

    the very next day i went to the doctor and lo, there was a new yorker in the waiting room.

    i perused.
    as it turns out, the magazine wasn't all about new york.


    feel better?
