Since when do well-known magazines just guess on how a band's new album is going to sound? Apparently that's what Maxim is now doing, according to Yahoo News and the band, The Black Crowes.The Black Crowes claim that the writer of the review has never even heard their new album, "Warpaint," since the CD has not been made available in advance. Hmmm.
So what do the magazine's creators have to say about this? According to the band's manager, the magazine told him that it was an "Educated Guess." They also went on to say that they could not confirm or deny that the review was a fraud, but assured the press that they would continue to provide readers with what was important to them.
So, I guess their readers' interest in bands like, The Black Crowes isn't really important, huh? I'm going to guess that reading their magazine is more important than listening to music? Of course. They get more money that way! I can guess that that is the only reason their readers are important. It's all about the money.
It just makes me wonder if, their music reviews are a fraud, what about the rest of the magazine? Maybe they should become a part of the ever growing fake tabloids/newspapers like the SUN, Enquirer, etc. We could at least then be able to truly laugh at their phony publication.
I've heard magazines do such things before. They don't bother too much about what and how they are reporting stuff.
ReplyDeleteOnly recently, TIME Magazine reported that 'Benazir Bhutto never wore skirts because she said skirts were unislamic'.
This was in some profile they made for Benazir Bhutto, soon after her death. I have the link saved somewhere.
I was surprised when I read Time magazine saying such things.
Because I have seen photos of Benazir in short tennis skirts and bikinis. Photos that are easily available in the public domain, photos that were shot in public places.
It is common knowledge in pakistan that Benazir was a regular at fancy New York parties where 'unislamic clothes' were the norm! :P
So I wonder HOW Time magazine concluded she 'never wore skirts'!
Nice photo of Avril, by the way. Does the reference to the 'User' in the 'user guide' that the cover refers to, refer to men? ha ha.
