On Newsstands Now

Year in Review issues are de rigeur for magazines & newspapers right now. They are a wonderful way to remind oneself of what was hot, cool, interesting, embarrassing, or just generally fascinating in the last twelve months. They are also a wonderful way to catch up on trends one may have missed.

Currently in circulation at my house:
  • Entertainment Weekly's bonanza of a double-issue (of course) covering everything from music to TV to books to movies to DVDs;
  • Magnet, covering the year in indie rock;
  • SPIN, with its magpie-like coverage of everything shiny and frisky in rock, pop, hip-hop and R&B;
  • The Lives They Lived issue and The Year in Ideas issue of The New York Times Magazine.

Get thee to a newsstand now, gentle readers, and partake of the pop cultural bounty before you!

    I love end of the year lists. I definately use them as my own personal readers/DVD advisory; and I also check to see if I need to do any Requests for Materials at work for something we should have but don't.
