robert g:
I read The Wire. and free mag Arthur. Both are availabe in the US.

OHsmeat:
Arthur is pretty good but it can be a bit hipster-hippiish if that even makes sense. I'm kind of pissed at Wire right now cause it feels like their reviews get more and more pretentious to the point of having no idea of what the album could possibly sound like, oh and for some reason they like that whole "noise" genre (!opinion!) business.

Oh I should be nice sorry, Grooves mag is an online pdf that covers a lot of good stuff mostly in the electronic/experimental genre but I've seen some kickass bands in there (Broadcast!, Lali Puna!, Kid606 <3). I also like The Onions music sections cause thy have damn good taste across a wide berth of genres. I haven't read any good metal mags in a while so I think I'm going to check out Decibel that sounds kind of good.

a pack of wolves:
I know what you mean about Wire, although I do like a bit of noise myself. I tend to find it only really makes sense live though. It's still a pretty decent read though. I used to pick up Terrorizer but in the end there was too much jizzing over cookie-cutter death/black/metalcore bands for me to really justify paying the cover price for the little in it worth reading. They did say Pelican were boring and unoriginal when everyone else was going apeshit over them though, so kudos for that. I pick up Punk Planet now and again too, but it's a bit too variable in whether or not ther'll be much good in it. And Plan B and Loose Lips are ok but neither really replaced Careless Talk Costs Lives for me, which I thought was a much better magazine. And I'm still mourning the deaths of the great free zines, Fracture and Reason To Believe. Last Hours seems to keep getting better though, it might take the place of Fracture yet if it can stay away from the more corporate end of the punk spectrum and get more interesting and varied bands in.

VonDook:
If you're Australian the Jmag is really good.  It's the paper equivalent of Triple J radio so, I guess, if you like Triple J then you'd probably like Jmag also.  It's nice and fat, and reasonably cheap.

OHsmeat:
Noise as a whole isn't bad really its the "DURR I just turned on a broken mixer and I JUST LEARNED WHAT FEEDBACK IS DURR" stuff. Due to its context the noise umbrella covers a lot of really good acts mostly based on the fact that they don't make music in a classical sense IE texture blahblah. I also lived with a roomate for a year who was really into it because of the cool factor and made noise music that was the laziest thing I had ever seen. Okok I'm done derailing sorry!
