Too bad about Pulse. It was one of the few magazines that tried to cover most styles of music. I still miss Option after all these years because of its broad coverage. Can anyone recommend some good magazines that decently cover several musical genres mabye video too? -Dave P.S. Are you serious about Blender? From their web site, it looks like Maxim's entertainment magazine. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lang Thompson" <wlt4@mindspring.com> To: <zorn-list@lists.xmission.com> Sent: Monday, November 25, 2002 9:34 PM Subject: RIP: Pulse magazine

Last week, Tower Records announced the closure of Pulse! magazine, after 19 years of continuous publication. The final issue of Pulse! will be December 2002, due in Tower stores on the last Friday of November.
Guess it's a victim of both Tower's financial troubles and declining print circulations (even for a freebie). Wish I could be sadder but Pulse has definitely been declining over the past two or three years. There's still something of interest but the eccentric 'n' half-demented columns, reviews of things like Euro-improv or obscure indies, and of course nearly all classical coverage are long gone. I even wrote a few pieces for them (Marshall Crenshaw on rock movies, Chuck Jones interview, Peter Stampfel, punk buyers guide, trivia questions back when they ran contests) and it
was
always a blast having editors like Marc Weidenbaum who were really enthusiastic and open-minded. Well I guess we've still got Blender, right?
