What magazines do you read?

[<<<<<]

And sometimes I pick up Gothic Beauty in Borders, because I like the fashion spreads. I have a penchant for Renaissance and pinup fashion. Don't judge.

Ever been in it?  I mean, it wouldn't surprise me if you have been.

I was in one of those tattoo magazines once.  A bunny like the one from the cover of White Light from the Mouth of Infinity.  Kind of a weird non-event, that.

I have a subscription to Spin, mainly because I' always seem to stumble upon free subscriptions. It's not nearly as bad as you imagine (PFT had a year in review interview article) but some things make you cringe (the interview also featured the guy from Gym Class Heroes) every now and then. It helps if you don't read the reviews.

Besides that, I read Filter, The Believer and whatever looks pretty because I am five years old when it comes to buying magazines.

I'm looking for good writing/culture/music/film magazines to read or subscribe to, but I have no idea where to start.  I bought the last few issues of Yeti and liked them.  A friend also recently got me into ANP Quarterly, but I'm really looking for something more substantial.

What do you read?  Is print really dead?

*The idea for this thread came after reading Yesno's post about the psycho dandy.  The Chap actually looks like it could be an interesting read.

I second the Believer recommendation and there is another magazine just like Yeti even has a similar name I just a cant think of it at the moment .

I also dig Bust Magazine.

I am a magazine junkie. I read most of the music or culture magazines in Ireland, then also Time, Newsweek, National Geographic, Plan B, Skyscraper, sometimes FHM, occasionally Spin or Rolling Stone or Q or Mojo if I'm stuck... I've even been known to read Cosmopolitan if it's put near me.

There's something about being able to absorb well-presented information in chunks the length of one toilet visit. Print is definitely not dead.

Cabinet!! I love it so much. It's the only magazine I read cover-to-cover.

To be honest, Razorcake is the only magazine I manage to buy consistently (I'm still mourning the loss of Punk Planet), but I always like The New Yorker.

[ShawnFromUtah]

Definitely, Punk Planet R.I.P.

Out here in flyover country, we have the (sometimes) excellent Mountain Gazette, which has (until recently) featured some exceptional writing by legendary outdoorsy curmudgeons of the Ed Abbey persuasion. Its feel has been different since it changed ownership recently, but it's still worth checking out for free if you make it out to the Rocky Mtn. states: http://mountaingazette.com/

Other mags worth noting:
Elephant http://www.elephantjournal.com/
Boneshaker: A Bicycling Almanac http://www.wolverinefarmpublishing.org/pubs.shtml
Arthur http://www.arthurmag.com/
Momentum http://www.momentumplanet.com/

and The Sun is always a treat when I pick up a copy: http://www.thesunmagazine.org/

Does anybody read magazines they subscribe to online? Just curious. I sometimes read slate and always read some of the NY Times online, and then I've had my fill of online reading. Wondering what other people's habits are.

Sorry if this is a boring and tedious post. I promise to do better soon. Next week I will be full of pent-up rage and probably much more interesting.

Oh, yeah, I had a subscription to RS that just wouldn't die...

for YEARS this happened to me.  i subscribed when i was in high school and it followed me into my early twenties.  when it finally croaked, a woman my mother knows started giving me hers, claiming they would stop sending them to her and she doesnt know how her subscription came to be, let alone kill it.  

i now receive a stack of them when she visits.


i read SLATE online, and buy SPIN a la carte.  i used to buy HARP, which i really enjoyed until a few months ago...

I can't wait to hear you spew.

No. I've thought about subscribing to the NY Times only for the NY Times magazine, though.
