Duffy (originating from Wales) has seemingly come out of nowhere with this album, inviting obvious comparisons to other recent Brit-girl invasions of the US like Amy Winehouse and Adele.

This camera is unremarkable in its output, but is rich in features. It makes a good traveling camera, but if you decide on it, I'd set the image compensation to +1. Set at zero, the images tend to lack contrast and rich saturation. This is true with most cameras, both digital and print. The extra bo

It's just what I expected.
9/4/2008
I'm very happy with my new subscription. I always stop at stores & glance thu the "Rolling Stone" on the shelves (once in awhile I will buy one), always wishing I could get everyone of them. Now I have it delivered to my home all the time. I just love it. Thanks!

I never received the magazine
7/25/2008
I subscribed over a month ago and have not received the magazine. Service typical of everything I order from Amazon. This time I will keep my promise to myself and NEVER do business with Amazon again. I waited two months for an in-stock book on my last order. I have learned my lesson.

A mixed bag
7/13/2008
For a long time Rolling Stone has been one of the most popular magazines when it comes to music, politics, and popular culture in general. There's a lot of good things about it. For example, they often have some really great writers (I mean, this is the magazine that brought us Hunter S. Thompson). And then on the other hand, well, I don't know the most eloquent way to put this, but there's a lot of things about this magazine that kinda suck.

One of the things that's really weird about Rolling Stone is that you can't really tell who it's written for. It seems like they're trying to write the magazine for everybody, but it just ends up seeming like it was written for nobody. They do cover stories on a lot of tween garbage like High School Musical and Fall Out Boy and then there will be stuff about these old dinosaur bands. It seems like it's very rare that there's a cover story about something that's both new and good.

And speaking of older bands, the magazine pretty much worships them. That's fine in some ways, but they really overpraise the work of older musicians who are no longer doing anything musically interesting while ignoring a lot of great new stuff. The most popular example is when they gave three stars to Nirvana's Nevermind when it came out. And then they hilariously made a couple of additional reviews later on where they backpedal and gave it a higher score. They do that with their end of the year music lists too. "Oh woops, we gave that Of Montreal album three stars, but it's pretty popular so let's put it in our Top 50 of the year list." And those aren't the only two examples of that. From what I've seen, if Rolling Stone gives an album a three star rating, you should just assume that it's going to be awesome. And if they give an album a five star rating, you should just assume that it's by Bob Dylan.

Also, some of the praise given to really weak bands or bands that are really established makes me question the magazine. You have to wonder where the criticism stops and where the magazine just becomes a promotional tool.

Some of the political writing in here is pretty good. It skews heavily to the left and that might bother some people, but the writing is often very well done.

I've noticed that there's frequently these really kind of tabloid-y stories in here. That sounds bad, but the writers have a knack for keeping up with stories that read like they should be in the most awesome tabloid paper ever. For example, there was a story in here about an underage gay porn actor that was linked to the murder of his producer. There's often one story like this per issue and I really love that stuff.

Reviews for film and TV are usually a little more in touch with the present than their music reviews. They usually give praise to stuff that is actually good.

So yeah, there's a lot of problems with the magazine, but at the end of the day, you have a pretty decent amount of good reading material here for a very cheap price. On a scale of one to ten, I rate it "something to read on the toilet."

They will threaten your credit rating if you decide to cancel
6/19/2008
The poor content of this magazine is the least of your worries. Think: credit rating. Once you put your mark on that little subscription card, they will hound you, threaten you to keep those checks coming. If you even think about canceling your subscription, a deluge of threatening letters will come your way. Don't even think about it ... stand back at least 500 feet.
