Punk Planet
''Punk Planet'' was a 16,000 print run punk zine, based in Chicago, Illinois, that focused most of its energy on looking at punk subculture rather than punk as simply another genre of music to which teenagers listen. In addition to covering music, ''Punk Planet'' also covered visual arts and a wide variety of progressive issues — including media criticism, feminism, and labor issues. The most notable features in ''Punk Planet'' were the interviews and album reviews. The interviews generally ran two or three pages, and tended to focus on the motivations of the artist (or organizer, activist, or whoever) being interviewed. ''Punk Planet'' aimed to be more inclusive than the well-known zine '' Maximum Rock and Roll'', and tried to review nearly all the records it received, so long as the record label wasn't owned or partially owned by a major label. This led to a review section typically longer than thirty pages, covering a variety of musical styles. Although much of the music ...

Music Magazine
A music magazine is a magazine dedicated to music and music culture. Such magazines typically include music news, interviews, photo shoots, essays, record reviews, concert reviews and occasionally have a covermount with recorded music. Notable music magazines Music magazines were very prolific in the United Kingdom, with the ''NME'' leading sales since its first issue in 1952. ''NME'' had a longstanding rival in ''Melody Maker'', an even older publication that had existed since 1926; however, by 2001, falling circulation and the rise of internet music sites caused the ''Melody Maker'' to be absorbed into its old rival and cease publishing. Several other British magazines such as '' Select'' and ''Sounds'' also folded between 1990 and 2000. Current UK music magazines include '' Q'', ''Kerrang!'' and ''Mojo'' (all published by EMAP). Magazines with a focus on pop music rather than rock and aimed at a younger market include the now-defunct ''Smash Hits'' and the BBC's ''Top of the Po ...

Magazines Published In Chicago
A magazine is a periodical publication, generally published on a regular schedule (often weekly or monthly), containing a variety of content. They are generally financed by advertising, purchase price, prepaid subscriptions, or by a combination of the three. Definition In the technical sense a ''journal'' has continuous pagination throughout a volume. Thus ''Business Week'', which starts each issue anew with page one, is a magazine, but the '' Journal of Business Communication'', which continues the same sequence of pagination throughout the coterminous year, is a journal. Some professional or trade publications are also peer-reviewed, for example the '' Journal of Accountancy''. Non-peer-reviewed academic or professional publications are generally ''professional magazines''. That a publication calls itself a ''journal'' does not make it a journal in the technical sense; ''The Wall Street Journal'' is actually a newspaper. Etymology The word "magazine" derives from Arabic , t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
