Where do you read your magazine?

Post by steveund » Mon Aug 06, 2007 10:33 pm

I Must Admit

Toward the end of July I was like a little kid waiting by the mail box everyday until my copy of the new issue came out.

So my question today is, where do you read your magazine at?

I have all of mine sitting in a stack in the control room down at my studio. There I can read it either between sessions or whenever someone is trying to figure something out on their instrument.

I read the entire article on Bill Bottrell setting at the mixer when my uncle was trying to figure out how he wanted to record the strings on a song we were working on together.

bathroom.

if it weren't for pooping I'd never get any reading done. :oops:


...and even though I've since been told it's no longer unacceptable to end a sentence with a preposition, the thread title still made my spine twist a little.

do you keep it on the toilet tank next to your dog-eared copy of "Style and Libel Manual For Message Boards"?

cos i used mine for TP back around 1998.

the style manual, not the magazine.

i typically read my TO in bed when the dotter is finally asleep in her room down the hall and i have re-engaged my decades-old battle with chronic insomnia.

Ditto, which is I have asked repeatedly (and have been turned down repeatedly) for the CD reviews online. I read all these great CD reviews but forget the bands' websites by the time I am at a computer.

I keep it on my nightstand and read it before I go to sleep. Usually done in 1-2 nights. The only problem is sometimes I read something that's really inspiring (or gear lust inducing in the reviews) and I have trouble falling asleep.

While I'm tracking shitty bands.

Just kidding. I don't track shitty bands anymore.

At lunch while at work, while my girlfriend is asleep, on a Sunday afternoon before napping...

No, the toilet tank is partly set into the wall as a result of my old landlord doing a halfassed job of remodeling the bathroom. The radiator cover makes a nice shelf, esp. in the summertime when the radiator is not being used. It currently holds the new TO Mag, the new Mix, Electronic Musician, Hans Holzer's "Ghosts," the complete Shakespeare, a small book called "How to Bluff Your Way in the Classics" and a Kleenex dispenser shaped like an Easter Island head.

I'm usually so impatient when I get mine at the post office box, I usually skim through it as soon as I get into the car, on my way back to the studio.

Then I usually read it while doing dilligent backups at the end of the day. :)

In the bathroom or while eating breakfast or on public transportation. Every few months I spot someone else reading it on public transportation too.

It was a White Elephant gift one Xmas. I couldn't believe no one else wanted it.

That is wrong sir

But then again why not take it out of someone else?s nose and use it on your own.

That needs to be a standard among Studios, every bathroom needs one of those. Make it a rule?
