Take heart, those of you who fear the imminent demise of the era where people read about music on stapled-and-printed pages: Seven music-related periodicals have made the short list of the Chicago Tribune‘s annual “50 Best Magazines” list. They are: the Baroque-centric bimonthly Goldberg; the classical mag Gramophone; the indie bible Magnet; the Metropolitan Opera’s house organ Opera News; the still-hanging-in-there Rolling Stone, which gets points for its access and being nicer than Pitchfork; and the home-recording obsessives’ guide Tape Op. And, um, the NME, which I guess does hold its own in the “soldiering on breathlessly despite the facts being in the way sometimes” department. [Chicago Tribune]
