    I still like reading magazines. And books. On actual paper. There, I've said it!

    I know I'm asking to be pelted with rotten fruit here, but on the infrequent occasions when I've picked up one of the glossy newsweeklies recently, expecting to chortle, "Ah! I read that in Slate / Salon / Economist / TalkingPointsMemo / Slashdot FIVE DAYS AGO," I've been wrong and have managed to learn things I didn't know already.


    Skip the listicles in the front of the book, of course, and also the culture/arts coverage in the back if you have any background in them at all. But uncomfortable as it is to admit (since I know they'll all be cut loose one day soon), I have to agree that the public/foreign affairs writers on those staffs are still doing their jobs.

    I personally like Newsweek, but the magazine is about about half as thick as it was this time last year. They cannot be making a lot of advertising dollars these days. My estimate is each issue consists of 10 pages of news reporting, 10 pages of ads, and 10 pages of Fareed Zakaria commentary.


    However, they are riding an impressive 24-issue streak of Obama-themed covers.

    Newsweek trying to be like The Economist is just like when Kanye West said his goal was to make an album on par with Songs in the Key of Life.

    @Mount_Prion: But Late Registration *is* better than Songs in the Key of Life! (So is Innvervisions and Greatest Hits, Vol. 2.) Yeah. I mean it, man. I loved "Sir Duke" as a kid when it was on the radio and plumbed the mysteries of that album many times a quarter-century ago, but now I think it's too kozmikally muzzyheaded, too bloated--too prog-rock.

    @Dickdogfood:

    that's the most insane bullshit i've ever heard. "as?" "pastime pradise?" "joy inside my tears?" (all of side 3 in fact.) yeah, there's a moment or 2 where stevie's newfound love of acid prompted some self-indulgent meanderings, but that album is rightly a masterpiece.

    @loosecanon: If it's a masterpiece it's a cracked one. I absolutely cannot deny "Sir Duke"--it's too rooted in childhood experience for me to say anything bad about it and be honest. "If It's Magic" is him at his all-time peak of tenderness. He extends "Another Star" with amazing facility (though I'm not sure making "Isn't She Lovely?" as long as it is makes any better than it is, though it's great). It shows him at his most rhyhmically ecumenical, soaking up latin rhythms like it wasn't nothing. But when his *lyrics* gets ecumenical and edumacational and one-world-y, he loses me. (ISKCON?!?) Then he sounds like a naif--he sounds like that guy from Yes.
