I do agree.  A little to much club culture but you can filter that out.

Wire isn't much better.  Latest issue says Jake Mandell is in Phonecia.
As far as I know that isn't the truth and it could have been easily
verified.

isn't that just an opinion that doesnn't match yours?  I am not sure you
can say they don't know what they are talking about.  Its an opinion not a
fact.


My whole point here wasn't to champion a magazine but to show that it
isn't the corporate monster vvm makes it out to be.  It definitely isn't
God's gift to magazines but it has it's place.  They don't represent what
is wrong with electronic music.  Being rash and not having an open mind is
what is wrong with electronic music (btw, last statement is not aimed at
you).
