Magazines - may be of interest to some on here.

If they're on a Kindle then yeah a couple still. But with feedly and Flipboard, most magazines have no reason to exist any longer.

scootay

No magazines, no books, no records or cds, all digital?

Nah not for me

And not for shop owners either.

Read the Economist each week, Private eye occasionally, the Telegragh on a Saturday and the Times on a Sunday if I happen to be in the UK which is not often. other than that no. For a while I was listening to the Economist whilst on my way to work, had to give that up as music at the end of each article and the reading style would have me in a hanging mood before 08:00.

CBIT

I cannot remember the last time i bought a mag, and i used to buy loads.

Everything digital. Save the planet.

That Sidetracked - above - is probably right up your Mountain path.

Boxing mags, The Ring, Boxing News or Boxing Monthly. Usually find a shelf full of bodybuilding and MMA stuff but no boxing. Morrisons seem to have stopped selling them and WH Smiths staff are pretty much jelly heads who are of the view that if it's not on the shelf then I can go fuck off.

Like to read books in the bath so actual books for me. Every time.

Harvest

No-one I’ve ever met remembers this. It was a great mag for about five issues only in 87. Music, football, films, fashion, travel etc. Liked a more sedate Loaded but a long time before. Found them in my continuing garage clear-out*

Harvest Never heard of it

Harvest I recal Sky Magazine at that time. Easy reAsd and a wide range of topics.
Must still have one with Kensit on the front, as well as all the early Loadeds, in a box in the garage.

I really liked Eat Soup and Jack was the ultimate mag, has never been surpassed.

Reggie_Perrin Do you remember that Eat Soup article when the writer ate and drank the exact same thing as James Bond, stopping off at a bar and restaurant on a car journey through France, recreating a scene from one of the novels? It ended with him throwing up all over the side of a motorway with gendarme sirens flashing away on the near horizon. Very funny.

I really miss the time when you got your hands on a quality magazine and absorbed yourself in it, cover to cover.

I used to pin the front cover of Arena to my bedroom wall, and photo spreads for Paul Smith etc. Didn’t have many girlfriends then. Very dodgy on reflection. The unread copy of De Profundis by Oscar Wilde would have had the agents at Langley doing an Ancelotti eyebrow raise that’s for sure.

Flaneur

Me neither but looks good.

Harvest

It’s a mystery mag, no-one knows it. I’ll see if there’s anything in them worth posting.

Jon

Harvest Are you sure you didn’t just make a magazine in your shed?

Harvest

Jon If I did it would be a lot more ‘specialist’.

A mate of mine writes for Shindig which has some good articles in. If you like 60s music.

Harvest

fuzzy Do you follow @monkeypicks on Twitter? I think he writes for them too. He also post some great music stuff.

Harvest Very nice bloke he is. I used to work in the same building as his missus and we’d always have good natters about gigs and whatnot.
