i find one of the hardest things about music is finding good journalism on the subject, and thus i find it hard to discover new bands. i regularly read pitchfork and cokemachineglow, and enjoy the style in which the reviews on said websites are written (but not necessarily the actual opinion of the article, but that doesn't bother me too much.)
however, i do not have access to the internet when i am traveling, and find the reading of printed material more enjoyable than the reading from a computer screen. the solution, as far as i can tell, is to find a music magazine/paper that i can buy either weekly or monthly. the problem with this is i have no idea where to start. the only music magazine i have ever read is Q, and the only music paper i have read is the NME, however, i find that both of these do not talk about the music that i am into (whereas pitchfork and cokemachineglow do) and when they do, it is only a couple of lines in the corner of a page.
what i want to know is what magazines/papers do you all read? how good are they? what sort of music do they talk about? any interesting features?
here's a few bands i listen to, so you can know what sort of magazine may suit me:
architecture in helsinki, band of horses, beck, belle and sebastian, brazilian girls, bright eyes, broken social scene, built to spill, casiotone for the painfully alone, clor, the decemberists, fugazi, grandaddy, iron and wine, islands, joanna newsome, the knife, kristeen young, the long blondes, modest mouse, the mountain goats, neutral milk hotel, the new pornographers (and neko's solo work), of montreal, pavement, the postal service, pulp, the shins, skyclad, sonic youth, spoon, sufjan stevens, the sugarplastic, ted leo and the pharmacists, the unicorns
