Just read that Andy Pemberton was let go as editor-in-chief of Blender. (http://nytimes.com/2004/09/25/business/media/25mag.html) Anyone else as surprised as I am?

Yes.

I thought everything was going well there...

wow that's really weird. the article even says there was a continuous increase in ads and readers.

Maybe he wanted to take things in a different direction?

maybe he can dedicate himself to talking head spots on VH1 full time now.

yeah, it kinda sucks but was still basically the only music mag left i would occasionally read for free at the bookstore or buy at an airport newsstand

yeah the obnoxiousness seemed to tone down in recent years and i always appreciated the wider variety of genres they covered xpost

yeah, it's a real tough market for polyglot publications, and I'm sad to see em go! :(

back before joe levy took over, it was my favorite music mag by a long stretch. it had gotten a bit worse but it was still the best mainstream mag covering pop

They had a pretty good review section, hired smart writers.
