I was browsing through the latest Q, having finally cancelled my subscription, and saw that there was a list of 1010 (or some equally ridiculous number) tracks that you must own (yeah right!) <<< FWIW... Apparently the number refers to the maximum number of songs that an iPod can hold - Q is now aiming for the download-enabled market, at least according to an interview with their editor (I think it was) in Monday's Guardian.

Well done Mr > Blink I thought, till I read the small piece, where Blinky said one of the > sound guys had picked it. Think he did at least concede he liked it though! > Must say Q is beyond the pale now. Went through a phase of being quite a readable mag but is now back to what it was when it began..a music magazine for people who know fuck all about music. Their choice of cover stars (Britney, Christina, ChilliPeppers) makes MOJO look positively radical, and every issue is '100 Best Something or Other' as the headline story....to the point where there is now a self-parodying special edition which is 101 Best Lists Ever or somesuch nonense. Big gap in the market for something Monthly....midway between NME and MOJO if anyone works in Publishing? We used to have one it was called 'Select'. ------------------------------ End of idealcopy-digest V7 #230 *******************************
