Amplifier Magazine
I was thinking of taking a writing job with them (Amplifier has always been one of my favorite music rags), and then I ran across this article :

It's old news, but still. I was never aware.
Thoughts or opinions?
I'm sort of past the point of really caring about my own credibility (ha), and I still like Amplifier. But. I'm kind of disturbed.

I'm new here so I am just catching up.
I have had my own experience with this. I wrote an article for a small music magazine (I don't want to name names) a few years ago and was very proud oif it. It was a fairly in-depth interview with a guitarist with a lot of history and the story ended up being nearly 9 pages when printed. The editor (and magazine owner, and sales guy, etc) loved it and was going to make it the cover story. I was excited because it was to be my first cover story! Then as the issue went to press the editor told me they wouldn't be putting the guitarist on the cover, but rather James Brown. Brown had died two months before, but there wasn't even a James Brown story in the whole magazine! When I questioned him he responded that an advertiser told him he would buy the whole back cover, front and back, if he put JB on the cover. And so it goes.
Here doggy!

We aren't too far down the road of the NP thing to turn back. But John is right, if we can find a way to funnel money to artists then I'm all about having MFT make some of that transaction. It…
I tried to watch 100 Ways but I could feel my life force draining. Haven't the Japanese made some horror films about this video?
