Blender is the Shit

Before last month, I had been a subscriber to Rolling Stone for about 6 years. The last 3 years I was fed up with it, but figured why not? It's only $12 to renew 2 years. I finally realized that you couldn't get me to re-subscribe for free. Seeing another issue of 50 greatest albums/guitarists/songwriters/album art/etc was enough to drive me to a mental institute. That, and the maganzine is one big ad to keep Wenner Media afloat (and Us Weekly of course).

There is good news. During my subscription of discontent, I discovered and fell in love with Blender magazine. Whereas Rolling Stone constantly regurgitates classic rock for fogies, Blender offers a cool perspective on both the old and the new. Their articles are more interesting, and have a humorous element. For instance, this is an article countdown you must read. "50 Worst Things Ever to Happen to Music."
