I disagree Tom, some of the DVD's are pretty good, in a magazine type way
and after all they are free. I think they could be doing a better job of
featuring new artists but I don't think they are anything to get really

about mate...
in general im over music magazines (outside of wax poetics, which is
the only magazine that really incorporates all of a music's history
into modern ideas...). even XLR8R is done, all it is is hipster
nonsense and indie rock crapola. they have suckers who know nothing
about the music reviewing it. its a big joke. there's no place to go
to get any semi-serious journalism on this music on a regular basis.
There's still a few reviewers worth trusting I feel but you can get better
tips on the many lists, blogs and forums these days so I agree with you
there but I'm also an old sod so I figure that maybe I should be reading
Mojo/Record Collector - or at least that's what the marketing departments
think!!!
one other thing: check out the musicians featured. i know its only
marketed in europe, but theyre almost all stark white. anything that
has to do with dance music that is featuring 99.9% white people is
missing the whole point. its a cash in, just like richie's persona.
I don't think that is something they planned tho, hell you should write to
them and ask why, I know you feel strongly about this, you should take them
to task...
