Non-Music Shit / Re: what are you reading?
« on: February 28, 2011, 05:48:05 AM »Am reading a paperback book from 1970 called the Rolling Stone Record Review that contains RS record reviews from the years 67-70. It's interesting because a lot of the reviews are the opposite of what you'd expect from Rolling Stone. Totally bags on the first couple of Zeppelin albums and lots of other stuff they consistently suck the cock of today. Even has some Bangs stuff! Shows that RS was a relevant rag once upon a time.
yeah, i subscribed to this archive service they have on their website for a couple months last year, and it was definitely worth it. you can read every page of every issue there. spent lots of nights digging through those reviews (1st stooges was funny, so-so review for the 1st creedence record, i can't remember things very well but there were lots of others... interesting to see how all those classics were really received when they came out). many very cool things on "the country hype in rock" (ca. '68), altamont (30 pages or so!), lots of very great pictures.... recommended!
