Magazines

They are better for train trips because books can suck specialy when they are really good and you don't want to put them down at your stop.

My zines of choice are Desktop and Atomic, I read them like a christian reads the bible, i.e. from cover to cover, more than once only last me a few days/train trips for me to read everything in em.

Other allright zines are Design, PC Authority (which is uber lame and the only reason I read it occasionaly is because I get it from work for free) on the music front is Knowledge and ATM, then there is the New Scientist which Is usualy always interesting and science IS cool because Dr Karl makes it ok to think science is cool. I dont care much for trasshy tabloid magazines with sensationalistic journoulisim and articles in them like 99% of the shit that is out there.

What magazines do you read?

I read Viz, and I sometimes read Take 5 or That's Life at work when I need a laugh. That shit is hilarious.

i subscribe to atomic.

at work we get all the magazines under the sun.

mostly i check out the rad graphic design and advertising ones.

sometimes the cooking ones. cos i like looking at the pictures of yummy looking food.

not much anymore. Wired and Wallpaper occasionally, ditto Desktop/MacWorld/IDN/etc. we get samples of all the ACP/etc magazines, so if the urge strikes to read about Britney's acne scarred coccix they are there.

still subscribe to Knowledge and Breakin' Point.

it's all about online.

MOFO / Knowledge / Out4Fame / Vice / Inpress

Vice and Inpress, for the free street stuff, otherwise Edge...the UK one, not the crappy Aussie one

Lephrenic · Post by **Lephrenic** » Thu Jun 09, 2005 3:04 am

The Wire for music
Sight & Sound for film
AudioTechnology for, well... what it says.
And if I could spare the cash, I'd probably buy Sound On Sound as well.

national geographic is the most inspiring publication i read. Awesome photos and articles. If you have never picked one up you're missing out.

Aktifmag is some way funny shit.

ATM Oceanic is ill too.

I'd say the 40hz update was the illest imo. Even though it was only online..

High Society is tops too. And Genesis...

Fents · Post by **Fents** » Thu Jun 09, 2005 9:29 am

Choice Magazine - Dope reviews of everyday stuff

Aktifmag - way too funny.

Fishing monthly

Terry Tate · Post by **Terry Tate** » Thu Jun 09, 2005 3:19 pm

regular magazine reads for knowledge/atm/idn/vice/lucky/relapse/answer me! zine(comes out so randomly though).
online for buddyhead/soccernet (not really a magazine but i need my premier league fix somehow)/screamingbloodymess/raw nerve.
irregular - maximum rock n roll/national geographic/time.
i forgot the economist as well. a top read that.

AJ · Post by AJ » Thu Jun 09, 2005 4:16 pm

Inpress - To check for spelling and grammar mistakes I missed.
Beat - To see what the competition are up to. And to look at pretty photos.

Plus Vice, 3D World, DJ mag, Mixmag (sometimes), Wired (sometimes), Lucky, Isnot (near Richmond station), Sight&Sound, Blender, Straight No Chaser, Wax Poetics...

Online: Guardian, Onion, Soccernet, MB, Inthemix, TheScene, Tranzfusion, ResidentAdvisor,

I miss The Face and Muzik. They were both tops most of the time.

And yes, it is a competition.

Post by **Friday** » Thu Jun 09, 2005 4:24 pm

my work subscribes to quite a few music ones which is cool.

(knowlege, dj, mixmag etc ... and yes we miss muzik and face too

although we re-newed our muzik subscription for 24 months just before they went under and never got the $$ back

)

apart from that i read the regular streetpress, inpress, beat, vice etc.

also read the age everyday (online at work on weekday mornings n have it delivered at home on the weekends).

also try to read novels a lot so that doesn't leave much time for anything else

as opposed to simply downloading it like u eh steve?

PahMaLa · Post by **PahMaLa** » Thu Jun 09, 2005 7:16 pm

Frankie and Yen
Yen came first is non trashy mags as I am very over Cleo's, Cosmo, blah blah stoopid trashy like "Shock! Celebs with NO MAKE UP!"

So yeah Yen is more reality stuff.
Then came Frankie which I believe copied Yen.
But I tend to read books as they are easy to carry than magz.
