I've collected many others over the years; these are just the ones I currently collect. :-)
10/Sep/05: Dropped Web Active, Satellite TV Euope and Total DVD - I couldn't maintain such a habit!
14/Feb/06: Futurama Comics dropped and Computer Active and Web User now alternated in lieu of more money for DVDs and music.
19/Sep/07: Mojo, Simpsons Comics, Empire gone. Comp Active + Web User back to full.
Comments are welcomed!
Wow, many of those are not cheap magazines!
Indeed! I spend all my money on magazines and DVD's, mind.
I'm an Uncut man myself (the music/film/book magazine, not the gay pornographic serial).
I was an avid reader of Q in the mid-90s (still have loads in my closet which are fun to peek at on rainy days), but I fear the mag has dropped off since then. Perhaps after the heyday of Britpop that fueled its greatness in that period, it was a bit inevitiable...
Maybe they never lived down that mediocre review of What's the Story Morning Glory...
Shalom, y'all!

Heh, funilly enough, the ish with the Morning Glory review is my oldest issue (bear in mind I'm only 13; I got it for 20p at a car boot sale last year in mint condition =D). It seems fine to me still, but has a little bit more dance and RnB recently (I emphasisie little).
I think Q had the very best photo captions ever. Hilarious! They often had me rolling.
Unfortunately, for the longest time, the American issues didn't include the promos that sometimes were attached to the front cover. There was a White Room sampler I really craved... :(
I have such great memories though. Q was how I discovered Blur after Parklife was released. Goodness knows, the American press ignored it. (When they didn't, they usually damned it with very faint praise.)
Shalom, y'all!

Hey, You read Mojo? I read that too! They make the best lists...
Yeah, Mojo rocks. =D
