it's a pity the mag is sealed in one them big plastic jobbies .... dunno how much the NME is nowadays..£1 or so...
so worth the gamble...even if the pic if a bit shite...
Anyway, everything looks better in a Habitat Frame...(I'm am showing my 30something side here, i know...) ;)..

Oh man,
I just went to buy it but couldn't. I fucking hate the NME so much. I made the effort to pick it up and everything. Sorry jand. I won't bu yit for the same reason I never buy from HMV. They are too big for thier respective boots.
let me know if it is worth it.
By the way it is £1.50

I agree - the NME really is so shit I feel embarassed when I pick it up to read it in WHSmith. Hardly ever worth buying, not got one for 9 months. Was shit then. The writers have no passion, it's all false IPC directed features.. but it's getting that way with the self congratulatory dance press in uk as well

its not very good. i used to love it though when i was younger-it had a lot of my fav bands in it every week. now its just full of the shite 'new rock'that america pumps out along with the indie shite that britain pumps out. along with lame ass 'dance acts' (snigger) and its graphic design and lay out suck in parallel ratio to the crap thats written. do you reckon though that its an age thing? i dunno, maybe 17 yr olds really dig it but they wont in future years for the same reason. maybe i m just patronising though. oh well it is shite nowadays and has been for some time...

I'll tell you what blew it fo rme was when I had a look at what other pictures were included in the booklet. I cannot abide by some of that stuff. It was full of kerazzy rock stars of yor doing mad things.
I thought what the fuck am I doing buying into this crap. I like the twin for his music. I love the way he is faceless, he misinforms everybody and rides the media circus with a wit of steel. HE plays up the old rock generation of which NME is an intrinsic part. He is playing them now and is fucking them over a treat. Now NME are trying to fuck me over and be part of the hype.
No sir, I am going to stick to the music. Pure and simple.

fair play to you sir...no doubt you listen to your music loud at the yachting club and later retire with fine brandies and fine cigars, to exchange the latest rumours on wall street dips and dives, and maybe take in a fox hunt on the way home.

I got band from the yauchting club actually. I was playing flaming arseholes and burned Vice admiral Duggan's matchstick ship. Fuck were they not happy.
Is your coffee fair trade? I bloody well hope not! Those pesky schemes could loose me a lot of money if they get popular. So please all of you stick to nescafé, that way you can be assured of ill babies in africa and underpaid people in South America, and of course a very rich me.

when I went into WHSmith I couldn't find the NME intitially. I had to snoop all over the place. Fuck me there are some funny 'hobbies' out there. 'Toy Tractor collectors monthly' to namme just one. Are these pastimes particular to England or are they common all over the world??

no doubt quernstone relaxes overlooking his vineyard witha copy of the 'wall street journel', a copy of 'cosmopoliton (1000th richest italians edition)', and a copy of 'just seventeen'.
nme stands for 'now mate with emu's'-its another terrible ken fact.

NME may have gone seriously downhill recently but it's nowhere near as bad as the shite dance music press! The reviews section in the back of those magazines always gives every single 12" 4 or 5 out of 5. The articles are shit, they're full of ads and the covermounted CD's are 9 times out of 10 the most boring trance crap.
The only good CD I ever got with MUZIK was the one mixed by Layo & Bushwacka!, that's class, but overall those magazines just stink, especially Ministry.

you're having a laugh aren't you? the 'gnamron' series was discontinued in 1972, when the manufactureres 'brevel' fell into disputes with their union over recent pay increases to congomerate members. jesus. i thought every toast fan knew THAT.

Smash Hits does have better reviews. My friend Ben does page layout/design for them and he played Fennesz' Endless Summer in their office, they were into it. But I don't think it got reviewed.
