Rolling Stones Magazine
Posted by admin in Rolling Stones on December 26, 2011
The Rolling Stones Magazine is a bi-weekly publication that was founded in 1967 by Jann Wenner, who is still the publisher and editor, along with Ralph Gleason, who is a music critic. Founded in San Francisco during a time when it was popular to combine politics and music, it has evolved from reporting on the hippie-era interests to a mixture of in-depth political coverage, music icons, television actors and pop culture stories, with a circulation of 1.4 million people. In the very first edition, it was written that “Rolling Stone is not just about the music, but about the things and attitudes that music embraces.”
Perhaps many people started reading Rolling Stones Magazine because they liked the famous person on a certain cover. In fact, many people can remember who was on the cover of the first Rolling Stones Magazine they bought and many people collect them for that same reason. Some of the famous artists that have graced the covers include The Beatles, John Lennon, Tina Turner, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Paul McCartney, Donovan and Otis Redding and Jack Goldman. Some of them have appeared more than once for a variety of reasons. Read the rest of this entry »
House Music DJ Magazines
Posted by admin in World Of Music on November 24, 2011
Here is a review of the best house music dj magazines on the planet. Over the past decade a lot of magazines in the electronic music dj arena have gone down, and only the strongest have survived. Recently there has been a major increase in people who are interested in electronic music and the following magazines are blooming with advertising dollars pouring in!
1. MixMag – has been noted as the best selling dance magazine in the world. Unfortunately they don’t have an online version of this magazine but their inclusion of cd’s with each release makes it a pretty good subscription to have. For instance, they had an amazing new compilation from Paul Oakenfold in a past issue! The annual subscription runs for £36.00 in the UK and £60.00 in US/Canada so it’s a little pricey, but again the inclusion of a cd with each magazine. Get a subscription at mixmag.net
2. DJMag – another UK magazine which is once again getting a revival through all the major music events and releases offers each copy in PDF format for a fraction of the price. The printed price is £3.95 an issue whereas the online PDF download is only 83p or you can get an annual membership for just £10 (£38 printed)! Very smart indeed as this just bloat their subscribers! The great thing about this magazine is all the insider info on all the upcoming events several months in advance. The downside is that the layout is not the most professional and it is a little hard on the eyes as to where you should focus on. Nevertheless, you can try a 2 week trial subscription online to see if you like it. Get a subscription at djmag.com Read the rest of this entry »
