    Default What Magazines do you buy?

    Future Music and Computer Music. Sound On Sound occasionally. But I only read them for the articles.
    Is it just me, or are these things pretty damn exspensive for something that's not written in liquid LSD?

    Hello and welcome to the forum, are you a sax player? Your magazine list suggests you are interested in music creation/recording. Are you conducting market research?

    The only reason I ask is that a quick google search shows you've asked the same question here:

    Best wishes,

    Crikey Chris, well spotted. Wonder what the reason behind it is...

    I buy "What Anorak" - there's a feature on Storm Pockets this month.

    I once bought "Heat" magazine, but I found it a bit too racy for me, so I now buy "Cosy". Last month they had Judith Chalmers as a centrefold. I had a damned hard time finding the crease between the two pages.

    Last week I bought a copy of "DIY monthly". They had a free sample of a new type of sandpaper on the cover. Unfortunately I thought it was a scratch 'n sniff affair, and I wore away two fingers and a thumb before I cottoned on.

    Never missed an issue. Did you enjoy the "monster drawstring waist shoot-out" - amazing, and what a surprise result.

    Chris, you've obviously got all copies of Miss Marple, the Poirot special edition, and the Morse summer-holiday bumper edition tucked away somewhere. You've put the lessons to good use to sniff this one out.

    Did you get the latest copy of "I-spy a daft question?"

    Regards,
    Haven't bought a magazine for years, until redundancy a year ago I was working in printing and books like FHM, ZOO, Vanity Fair were rolling off our presses by the million. I could never justify the cost of them now.

    Unfortunately the magazine industry took a hell of a hammering last year and a lot of big players went down, us with them. The titles moved elsewhere.

    One of my favourites is Spam Weekly.

    Some of the more longstanding members here may remember some fun on the old forum when spammers trying to shill products found their posts had mysteriously changed.
