In the end with MM, I used to look for the articles written by my favorite writers first, not the bands or artists.

Corpsey
bandz ahoy
When i read it they were championing The Strokes/The Vines/The Hives/The Whatevers. I was a fan of some of those bands, so I sort of understand what it must have been like reading it when the bands were actually really good :crylarf: But in retrospect, the retro nature of all that music points to a music press trying to relive the glory days.
But i don't recall any writer sticking out from those issues. The only music writers I was aware of as a kid/teenager were Andrew Emery, Pete Cashmore, etc. who wrote for Hip Hop Connection. (I forgot that Pete Cashmore died last year, presumably suicide?)

I think all the good writers had left by 1998. Simon Price said he left the paper when the new editor Mark Sutherland issued an edict banning all negative comments about Oasis.
Well said. Apart from his own works which never fail to impress with their insight, his willingness to offer feedback and advice is humbling. Enduringly gracious & patient, full of generosity of spirit - not just with his acolytes but also his critics.
I always get a bit of a fright when when he appears on TV and I realise that this fella Ive been chatting to about random miscellania is actually a major cultural figure.
