(HOW FAT IS YOUR CITY AND HOW GRAND YOUR > CENTRAL????) Jockey Slut realised that its readership was growing a few years back and as soon as that happens you become scared to cover things that are not going to be appreciated by the "majority", it is completely a question of money. By its very nature (glossy, colour, mainstream), it cannot afford to do anything else. As my mate said the other day while flicking through its pages, "I'm over this now". Mixmag, Jockey Slut, ... same thing. __ |=AC=AC The Cosmic Crofter xxxxxxx@xxx.xxxxx.xx.xx - http://www.ednet.co.uk/~ehx
