Stylus RIP

http://stylusmagazine.com/ - Stylus Zine is ending after 5 years. I'll miss its Singles Jukebox feature, which I also wrote for (too) occasionally. Did anyone read it?

What else do people read?

Don't mean to make this sound like a rave, but it is (was) really the only music writing I regularly read, although quality varied widely. Somehow I've found pitchfork unbearable to read for a while, and I don't fancy having to go back to it.

I read Pitchfork more since I started writing for them, but mostly because I want to make sure stuff I'm talking about hasn't just come up in some prominent other article (though Mark Richardson's column and some of the reviewers, like Nitsuh and Stevie, are excellent). They're a lot better than they used to be, I think, but also maybe less colourful and more earnest.

I am only just starting to read ANY online music writing again though.

I've basically quit reading "music journalism" - I find more of interest and insight in Kat/Tom/Frank's tossed-off comments on the new entries each week. There are various people whose every word I would read - occasionally this coincides with "music journalism" but not often.
