Record Collector - Stoner rock special

[Paul-K]

quite interesting piece in record collector. though a lot of mistakes in it.
makes me wonder, as I know a bit about this genre so the mistakes stood out, are all the pieces normally full of mistakes?

RC isn't what it used to be. Mistakes galore.

I thought it was terrible, but then I think just about every general article they have had concerning 'metal' has been poor. I admit that this is only because this is something I profess to know about. I always think just every other article is great so maybe that's just because I'm ignorant of the music therein. I haven't enjoyed the magazine since Mr McCann took over as editor, but maybe after 30 years of reading it I'm just finally 'growing out of it'.

Every issue is riddled with errors - not that they seem to care

I've read RC since the late 90s. It has changed quite markedly under McCann's editorship in style. I have to admit that I've stopped reading the long-form articles and the 'news' section : I tend to just read the letters, the 'digging for gold' misc bit and some reviews. In some ways I should probably stop buying it but there's just enough to keep my interest going!

How they can include Led Zep's Presence in a 'stoner rock' rundown but omit, say, Buffalo's Volcanic Rock is beyond me. I also find it off-puttingly error-strewn...

[Grim Lounge Cowboy]

Perhaps the journos take too seriously the apparent ethos of the music they are writing about.

Half-baked articles on stoner rock.

Article on jazz? Make it up as you go along!

Method acting: method writing.

[Grim Lounge Cowboy]

Good that you mentioned this Eric. It never occurred to me that RC might not be reliable.

Not that I look at it very often...

I don't know a hell of a lot about stoner rock, but the Deroy article in this month's RC was a tissue paper thin piece of puff. Almost no facts, padded out to four pages with conjecture, hypothesis, guesswork and off topic rambling.

[Col Wolfe]

I was going to ask about the Deroy feature. I seem to recall Sie Norfolk was building up the Deroy story so expect something wonderful when he's finished that.

[Sie-Fly]

I have forgotten more about Deroy than that twit will ever know

Well you've saved me a fiver gents.
